Character Marine from the Aventuria theme park in Saint-JulesIn the heart of the Beauce region, in a small municipality called Saint-Jules, there’s a village with a magical soul. It’s a place that has the power to bring a smile to the face of every visitor who enters, and to make them experience extraordinary adventures, whatever their age.
For more than five years, this site has been a “must-see” on our vacation list, summer after summer. But what is it about Aventuria that touches our hearts so intensely?

Ten adventure zones make up the main environment of this cheerful village: a pirate ship, a mini-autodrome, a vertiginous trail, an enigmatic labyrinth, a trampoline and a hidden village of tiny houses, and so on. No false pretensions in this theme park. The facilities are simple and instantly appealing to children. At first glance, you might think you’re going to spend 2 hours on the site, but think again… It takes a full day to explore all the treasures of this village. The fun is instant!

Marine is always one of the first to give us that little touch of magic we’ve been waiting for. The sailors have a new best friend to play with. Who wouldn’t be seduced by a funny pirate who gets everyone involved in a water fight with hosepipe and foam guns? The other village friends keep us on our toes with colorful challenges: Isha and Naya, the intrepid Amerindians, lead the tribe in an epic game of hide-and-seek. Gazouille, the crossing guard, grabs her red racing car and invites us to a zany race. As for Flora, she lets us in on the energy of her magical forest. And let’s not forget the giggles when the dads dare to challenge Achile, the knight, to a sword fight.
Every time, I’m surprised to hear one of the village characters call the children by their first name. It’s a small gesture that creates so much magic in the hearts of children and… parents!

Water games at the Aventuria Theme Park in Saint-JulesEvery summer, when we come to Aventuria, there’s always a new challenge for the characters, a new area to discover or a new quest to solve. That’s what makes Aventuria so special, and what makes us marvel at it every time. For the past three years, the site has offered a new archery zone where we test our accuracy with Tyro-Man or Tyro-Girl by aiming at large woodland monsters. Last year, a new zone at the top of the mountain invited us to experience a treasure hunt in the heart of the forest. This year, a new challenge is on offer. We’re looking forward to it with the whole family!

Young and old alike will leap to the side of one of our characters to the sound of his encouragement. Another will greet them at the finish line.
And what can we say when the merry men and women finish the activity, too, with a burst of madness!

Tyrolean character at Aventuria in Saint-JulesAventuria Village offers a full day of adventures, at great rates. In addition to its theme park for kids, the site offers a number of adventures for everyone. From the age of 9, youngsters have access to the first two trails of the aerial course. From the age of 11, all aerial trails are accessible, and this, in addition to a great new feature offered since 2019, namely an incredible circuit of 16 zip lines in the forest! Try this adventure with your adrenaline-seeking teenagers, or with adults for a hair-raising outing.
The most important thing to remember is that there’s no age limit for fun at Aventuria Village. To prove it to you, I’ll leave you with my dad’s first aerobatics. At the age of 72, he launched himself off the big zip line… Thrills guaranteed!
Will you be next?
