Who says winter is over?
The cold season is still alive and well thanks to this unpredictable spring weather, and DJ Khaled knows how to make the most of its return.
Experiencing the thrill of the century-old slide on Quebec City’s iconic Dufferin Terrace, next to the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, DJ Khaled’s kids were captured speeding down the toboggan run.
Posting on his Instagram account, DJ Khaled wrote the following:
“ASAHD WHEN YOU AND YOUR BROTHER HAPPY ! DADDY AND MOMMY ARE VERY HAPPY ! LOVE YOU !!!!! Live it up ! GOD IS EVERYTHING!”
The DJ’s son, Ashad, was captured shrieking in delight the whole way down before popping up at the end of the toboggan run with a huge smile on his face.
The iconic toboggan slide on Quebec City’s Dufferin Terrace has been a cherished winter attraction since 1884, just steps from the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac—one of Canada's many famous Fairmont hotels.
After a brief closure in 1981, it triumphantly reopened in 1992 and continues to thrill visitors with speeds of up to 70 km/h.
Open from mid-December to mid-March (weather permitting), the slide accommodates up to four passengers per toboggan for an unforgettable ride.
Thanks to the high-speed train connecting Quebec City to Toronto, Montrealers will be able to day trip to Quebec City more easily than ever.
What is the Dufferin Terrace?
The Dufferin Terrace, a historic wooden boardwalk beside the Château Frontenac, has breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River and is a favourite year-round destination for both locals and tourists.
Open to the public since 1838, it’s also a lively hub with musicians and entertainers in the summer, and a thrilling toboggan run in the winter.
Visitors can also explore the ruins of Forts-et-Châteaux-Saint-Louis beneath the terrace or ride the funicular down to the Petit-Champlain district.
Where does DJ Khaled live currently?
In 2018, DJ Khaled purchased a home in Miami.
Why is the Château Frontenac famous?
The Château Frontenac has hosted many crucial political meetings and figures over the years, including Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Pierre Eliott Trudeau, Brian Mulroney, to name a few.
