Fodor's Review:

This park, named after the river pilot Abraham Martin, is the site of the famous 1759 battle that decided New France's fate. People cross-country ski here in winter and in-line skate in summer. In summer a bus driven by a guide portraying Abraham Martin provides an entertaining tour—with commentary in French and English—around the park. At the Discovery Pavilion of the Plains of Abraham you can take in the multimedia display, Odyssey: A Journey Through History on the Plains of Abraham, which depicts 400 years of Canada's history.
