The Archaeo-Adventure workshop at Pointe-à-Callière gives visitors a chance to experience a simulated archaeological dig, first on the site, and then in the head archaeologist’s tent and laboratory space. Located in the basement of the Mariners’ House, the workshop is a realistic reproduction of a dig site offering visitors the chance to step into an archaeologist’s shoes and find some authentic remains and artifacts as well as secrets from the past.
