Musée Bombardier

Visit the Museum of Ingenuity J. Armand Bombardier in Valcourt to see historic snowmobiles, prototypes and interactive exhibits about regional engineering heritage. The on-site museum offers accessible exhibits and all-day admission so you can explore at your own pace.

Choose the combined Museum + BRP plant package to continue to the nearby BRP plant for a behind-the-scenes look at Ski‑Doo or Can‑Am assembly (seasonal). The full package is listed as about 3 h 30 and includes a guided factory visit with production-dependent content and rules.

Look out for:

• Historic Ski‑Doo models, prototypes and interactive displays in the museum.

• A escorted walk through the BRP plant showing assembly of Ski‑Doos (June–Dec) or Can‑Am Spyder (Dec–June), depending on schedule.

• Museum photography allowed; photography is prohibited inside the BRP plant.

• Combined visit listed at roughly 3 h 30; package is offered on specific dates and may require advance booking.

• Museum admission is valid all day; you can leave and return.

• Photography is allowed in the museum but prohibited inside the BRP plant.

• Plant tour requires flat, closed shoes and is not adapted for reduced mobility.

• Tours run on specific dates and production schedules; book or confirm availability in advance.
