In Montréal, it’s never a question of what to do, but what to choose because there’s so much going on in this family-friendly city. From toddlers to teens and all ages in between, we’ve got something for everyone in your crew that features tons of fun and picture perfect memories.
What really makes Montréal a favourite family destination is its diverse four-season offer. Spring is not only bursting with colour, but for budding scientists, it’s filled with all manner of earthly wonders out at the Botanical Garden, Biodôme and the Insectarium.
Summer’s always a sure hit, with a mountain to explore, a majestic river and rapids—great for kayaking, jet boating and speedboating—and a giant amusement park to play in. The summer calendar also features a non-stop line-up of safe streetside festivals, most of which devote a specific component to kids.
Fall is great for harbour cruises, a hop to Île Sainte-Hélène or a stroll through any one of our many parks to admire the yellows, reds and oranges of Montréal’s fiery autumn foliage. And who can resist ice skating, tubing or an urban snow shoeing expedition, topped with a creamy hot chocolate, in the fresh sparkly white of winter?
Whether you’re time travelling in Old Montréal with history buffs, unraveling untold mysteries at the Montréal Science Centre, pursuing a passion for art in galleries and museums or soaking up the lively ambiance of an outdoor celebration, major festival or sporting event, Montréal keeps families at the top of its list, with discoveries at every street corner.
And not only is Montréal an incredibly safe city, but it’s easy to navigate too, with an elaborate public transit network of subway and bus lines crisscrossing the city and a choice of special passes available to accommodate the whole gang while it’s here.
