The Centre de la Nature is a spacious park that offers diverse attractions, including an animal farm and greenhouse, walking paths, ice rink and ski trails. The premises are well-organized and clean with ample parking space for visitors. The location of the Centre de la Nature is ideal for tourists who want to experience Montreal's historical buildings while enjoying the beautiful scenery of flower gardens. Families or anyone accompanied by kids need not worry because they have great cafes within the park premises.
Amazing park. Lots to do here. There are 2 parks (that I’ve seen so far, there could be more) for kids to play on. A train ride that takes you around the park (cost $4/person). A cafeteria that sells snacks and drinks. A fake mini town by the train station for the kids to play in. Animals to see. You can find goats, sheep, chickens, llamas, peacocks, horses, cows and donkeys. You will find a lot of trees, plants, flowers around and they even have a greenhouse. They have body of water where you can rent little kayaks. We were there for a couple of hours and didn’t get to see the whole park. I’ve been told there is a little water park for kids as well, so you may want to pack some bathing suits for the them. Not a lot of parking, but there is some street parking in the residential area.

This park is a haven for families seeking outdoor fun. Boasting full amenities, this park offers everything from picnic areas to playgrounds, mini-zoo, horticulture grounds, ensuring a delightful experience for all.
The expansive stroll areas invite leisurely walks, allowing families and kids to immerse in the beauty of nature. During fall, the park transforms into a kaleidoscope of colours.
A plus is you can get yourself a warm coffee or ice cream in that cute tiny cafe nestled in the heart of the park.
Note: Free parking if you are a resident of Laval. 😊

Very nice park! The play area has a lot to do for kids, the animal and bird exhibits are also very cool. The walking paths are well maintained, and the flower gardens are all beautiful. It can get extremely busy in the summer, but definitely worth it to go see.

I visited the farm and pool and I was very pleased with my experience. The farm had alot of animals to look at. The park also has a playground for the the kids. The pool (comes with lifeguard) was also nice even tho the water was colder than expected. The pool comes with a diving boards section, slide section, swimming lap lanes, free swim section and a splash pad.

Such a nice big park within Laval. And when we were there it seemed there were lots of Halloween activities for families and children on weekend, such as a haunted house, and a maze. Year round: you have the beautiful farm too with cows, horse, llamas, a giant pig, and unique funky birds. Delightful in an otherwise somewhat drabby Laval.

Cosmodôme is a space science museum and education centre in Laval that offers various activities for kids, including simulated Lunar gravity, camps, immersive missions, and 4D movies. The exhibits are informative and well-organized, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Cosmodôme is a great place to visit if you're looking to learn more about the infinite universe.
My son and I did the VR, spacial Mission and the museum. That was one of best moments we have shared together since long time. Amazing.

“I enjoyed it a little but there was not a lot to see”. This comment is taken directly from my kid. The exhibits were ok but the bottom floor where the shuttle and activities were located was closed even when we went during opening hours.
The place was completely empty.

A very basic museum about the solar system and space history. Probably better suited for kids. Went during the day on a Tuesday and we were the only ones at the museum. We paid $5 for the exhibit only and did the museum in an hour (reading everything on the boards). We couldn’t go down to the lower level. There are renovations happening but a good stop for kids.

This place is amazing. The exhibitions are beautifully created and placed. The missions are fun and very educational.
The missions are the must-do items here. For each mission you will go through multiple rooms to learn and play something. These rooms are all well designed with loads of fun.
Don't miss the Simulator as well. They are so much fun and we spent the whole day just in this place.
Bring your CAA membership card for a discount on admission.

This was mine and my boyfriends first time visiting here. I am a very big space nerd so I was so excited. The exhibits were very cool and interesting to read about. My favourite was the solar system that was of scale! We were able to learn about the planets and seeing the real size of the planets. The missions could be a little better though, when we were doing our mission our screens we very laggy and buggy so we failed our mission a couple times because the computer was lagging.

It's currently under construction so can only comment on the status as it is. We did one of the "missions" with our toddler which was not right for his age (he's 3) but was good for us. Clever way to go through some history of space travel (we did the moon mission). Otherwise the exhibit is quite small.... no interactive things for young kids. Wouldn't go again but worth it to go once.
Jessica Tremblay — Google review
Very fun and educational experience with the kids. It was really fun and interactive. You have missions to complete while learning. Plus, I like how you dont have to team up with other people during the missions. Very well organized. The down part is most of the workers are a bit lost in their job. I got free tickets for my family. Every first Sunday of each month, you can have free passes. You need to book a month in advance. Highly recommend if you have young children. They will be amazed. Mine were.

The Cosmodome is a stellar destination for space enthusiasts, families, and anyone curious about the universe. Buckle up, fellow travelers, and prepare for liftoff! As an avid space enthusiast, visiting the Cosmodome was an absolute delight. This world-class museum, nestled in Laval, Canada, is entirely devoted to astronautics and space exploration. Here are my thoughts:
Hands-On Space Adventure: The Cosmodome offers a hands-on experience that engages visitors of all ages. From interactive exhibits to captivating displays, you’ll find yourself immersed in the wonders of the cosmos.
Educational Mission: The institution’s mission is clear—to ignite curiosity and scientific literacy related to space science. Whether you’re a young aspiring astronaut or a seasoned stargazer, the Cosmodome caters to everyone.
Space Pioneers and Challenges: Explore the fascinating history of space exploration—the triumphs and tribulations faced by space pioneers, as well as the daring endeavors of today’s interplanetary explorers.

As a child, I came here on a field trip and again with my family. I thought it was really cool and interesting. I enjoyed my experience and remembered it as a really fun learning experience.
I was pretty surprised to see the prices as it was really affordable, which i thought was great since practically nothing is priced this low nowadays. I think it's great that they use an "add-on" system where you have a baseline fee and pay extra per activity you choose to do. It makes it affordable for every parent.
I went back after almost 20 years and hoped to share this cool place with my little cousin. He enjoyed his time and loved the planet expos and the mechanical parts. We were a little disappointed when it came to the activity we chose. It could have been really cool, but no updates have been made in the last 20 years. The screens are smaller than TVs in most houses, there are no motion animation or chair vibrations to go with the storyline, and there is a huge lack of games or quests to go with the activity.
It was more of an instructive story than activity.
This place could be so much more if they adapted a few things with new technology to match what so many are already used to in their everyday lives.
I hope that current renovations will change some of these things.

Parking is free it is very small and short. Expected more interactive stuff for kids to enjoy play tinkle with to learn etc. Paid extra for virtual reality for 5 minutes $8 and another paid interactive on the ground level. Those two were cool but extra and for 5 minutes each not much time

Centropolis is a well-planned and developed outdoor complex in Laval, offering a range of stores, eateries, entertainment options and events. A large gourmet market and mini-golf course add to its appeal. The mall has an international vibe, making it an ideal destination for friends to meet up or celebrate special occasions. Visitors can enjoy the freedom of being out after the pandemic lockdowns and feel the happiness of others while taking a stroll around or sitting on a bench.
Amazing outdoor mall with tons of attractions and fancy restaurants in the heart of Laval.

I was there twice last week. Delicious food. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. The only thing I would recommend is not having to wait 25 minutes before a server comes to say hi and take your drink order. Other tables had the same issue. A Tuesday night and a Saturday night were both busy. But other tables around us were being served. I think the waiter had too many tables perhaps.

Mark it down,this is the center of action in Laval. The place is well planned and developed as the centre of experience in gastronomy, entertainment, shopping and events. Come to here to meet friends, celebrate a special event in life or anything, you will not disappoint. This is a place for memory and happiness. I have mine as soon as I walked out from my parked car. You feel the international vibe. My occasion is to get myself out from the pandemic lock down, to be free again after vaccination, to celebrate reopening.
Really feel great having a dinner, visited a desert place, walked around, sit on a bench and enjoyed the happiness of others.

BUBBLE DOME / STARLIT TERRACE CENTROPOLIS, LAVAL
It’s always interesting to try new concepts and this was a fun idea and night out with the family.
Our reservation was with Enoteca Monza in Centropolis, Laval. Only some restaurants participate every year and each night is dedicated to one of those participating restaurants. I believe there are 3 domes in total. Reservations must be made months in advance. However, it is always good to check regularly as I happened to land a reservation 3 days before the dinner (a cancellation no doubt). We ordered our food online ahead of time with a mention that the reservation was for ‘the bubble dome/starlit terrace seating’. We checked in at the restaurant 15 minutes before our reservation and were then escorted to one of the outside domes. We settled in while our waitress went back to get our order (it’s basically take-out with a twist 😊). We weren’t sure what to expect as it was freezing outside. The dome had heaters and music to boot. We were more than comfortable (without outerwear) and enjoyed our ‘outdoor meal’ all the while watching people stroll in the cold outside. I definitely recommend that you try this once. Note, they require a minimum of 4 people. The table seats 6 for sure (maybe 8?) There are no extra fees to eat in the dome.

It's a nice intimate auditorium. The seating is a bit tight and there is no aisle in the front section so if you're in the niddle it can be awkward. The lobby is a bit small for the capacity of the hall.
Nice acoustics though, and it was renovated in the last few years.

I was having trouble finding my seat because the layout of the room was wierd. Numbers were grouped in even and odd numbers from biggest to lowest from side to middle. So if you had seat 1 you were at the middle of the row and if you had seat 30 you were at the sides. Was complicated to understand. Other than that bathroom were clean, big and the rest of the building is beautiful and easy to navigate.
Cinéma Cineplex Laval is a contemporary cinema chain that showcases the latest blockbusters from Hollywood along with independent films. The venue offers excellent movie selections, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. The restrooms are well-maintained, providing excellent hygiene standards for visitors. However, it has been noted that there appears to be no supervision in place to ensure that guests exit after their film screening has ended.
Big cineplex location, all theaters are big screen,not too crowded, plenty of parking spots available

I went to see the Batman 2022 in AVX cinema within the cineplex. The sound system was incredible as you can tell it’s my first time after the Covid restrictions have been lifted to enjoy any movie. The cleaness of this place is good I was able to tell by examining the washroom during the long length of the movie. The good was good since the popcorn and the drinks were fresh besides the nasho that was a bit soggy but it’s OK.
Cineplex is well situated with plenty of parking spots for everyone coming from the island, I’m telling you it’s worth it!!
You can book online before coming and bear in your mind the long queues for checking VAXI and the long queues for food as well (entering the movie too).
The seating was nice except when it’s layed back the back seaters can hit with their feet your back of the seat so don’t sit well in front in AVX CAUSE ANYWAY THE SCREEN IS INCREDIBLY HUGE.

Rather nice theater experience.
Downpoint: Cleanliness is a bit lacking in the theater rooms. Instead of cleaning between shows they sweep up the stuff under the seats... that was... kinda gross. Garbage cans are too small for people to drop off all of the trash on the way out leaving people to drop the stuff on the floor or piled way high.
Upsides: Fun for the family or a date night.
Food quality is pretty good. Prices are well ehat you would expect for a Cineplex theater. Best value lies in getting the combos or using coupons.
The Arcade is fun and prices are resonable for the type of place. They started giving out prices for some games adding much value to the experience.
DBox: Worth the cost difference for action movies.
UltraAVX: Worth going once. Again good for action movies and fantasy type. Very crisp image (higher resolution).
Overall seats are cumfy and overall nice big screens.

Everything was a great experience, I loved how every sponsor for the movies were made in a specific way. They gave Freddy’s pizza box for the FNAF movie which got everyone hyped! Although it was a great experience I must admit that you have to come at least 30-40 minutes before the movie starts because line ups here are very long and could result to you missing a small part of your movie. The food is great, and the butter machine was even better. Great Cinema I recommend it!

Spacious and clean movie theater, however after their recent washroom renovations, I was very disappointed to notice that they removed the water fountains near the theater rooms, forcing us to buy their overpriced water bottles.
I tried 2 of their arcade games. The basketball game, which has been out of service for almost a year, is now functional but only has 3 balls. The air hockey game doesn’t pump out enough air for the puck to slide around, so it kept getting stuck in the middle, ruining the game. Why have your guests pay for your overpriced arcade games if they’re not even fully functional?
I watched a movie in Screen X, which I find to be the most useless invention ever, just to get us to pay more to see a movie. The screen x projectors were always a few frames delayed from the actual film, which was annoying and distracting. Aside from that, the screen x pictures were stretched out, so I don’t get what they’re for exactly.
Friendly staff, however I hear that management isn’t very good. Low paying jobs just to cut costs, resulting in long wait time for guests to get their snacks at concession due to less staff. Oh well.

For the pure enjoyment of a movie, this place is good. But the cinema itself is outdated. The arcade is quite small, and in my opinion, limited. This definitely isn’t one of those newer Cineplex locations, but is still enjoyable for a movie.

Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the modern and clean décor. The lobby was spacious and well-lit, and there were plenty of seating options available. The staff was friendly and helpful, guiding me to my theater and answering any questions I had.
The theater itself was clean and well-maintained, with comfortable seating and great sightlines. The sound and picture quality were top-notch, immersing me in the movie experience. The theater was also equipped with state-of-the-art technology that allowed for a 3D experience, which was a nice touch.
The only downside to my cinema experience was the price of concessions. Snacks and drinks were quite expensive, which is typical of most cinemas, but still worth noting.

Cineplex is one of the best movie theaters of Montreal. They have 22 theaters there, which is quite a lot for nowadays. Ho
wever, the ticket can be expensive. If you go on Tuesdays it's half-price. Yesterday I went to watch Avatar in ScreenX theater, it was a good experience where ScreenX opens up images horizontally for a panoramic effect.
I give 5 stars for the cinema theatres, staff, services, games, but I give 3 stars for cleanliness.
Musée pour Enfants is an educational facility that offers replicated real-life scenarios such as a grocery, police station, and farm among others. It provides an excellent opportunity for preschoolers and kindergarten children to learn while having fun. Although some of the stations are outdated and do not fully work, it remains a suitable place for younger kids aged between toddlers to about 6-7 years old at most.

My toddler did have fun but this place needs to have a lot of updates. They don't take credit cards...in 2023 you'd think credit cards were accepted everywhere. If you have a baby and are bringing a stroller, there are no elevators to go to the 2nd floor. Luckily the staff, who were very helpful and nice, offered and brought my stroller up and down the 2 flights of stairs since I was alone with my 2 kids. Many of the displays are broken and very worn off; such as the car seat in the police car, the microphone on the stage, missing magnets on the wall toys, just to name a few. You can also tell that apart for the floors, nothing is regularly cleaned. I noticed lots of dust, let alone the germs 😩 Overall, great concept, your toddlers will have a blast
But this place needs some major updating.

Free parking lot. Free coat check (much appreciated in the winter). Senior tickets not available online for some reason so ended up paying more for the grandparents. Friendly and efficient staff. Fun indoor playground for younger children (2 to 7). Can get crowded with less well behaved children (i.e. not watched by parents and taking toys out of other children's hands). Most were lovely though. Ok when it's too cold to play outside.

Incredible experience! Such a fun spot for children to play and get a chance to interact with everyday things independently, ex. Grocery shopping, filling the car with gas, farming etc. Most museums are all reading with very little interactive displays. This museum is all interactive and children will easily be entertained for an afternoon. Though there isn't much informational material provided, it can be explained with general knowledge from the parent and didn't take away from the educational aspect. Will be recommending to everyone I know that is travelling to the vicinity!

Parc Bernard-Landry is a natural forested area that offers various amenities for its visitors, such as jogging paths, fitness stations, and a pond. This park also holds community events that provide an opportunity to socialize with others. While the park tends to be crowded during certain times, it's advisable to visit early in the morning or late in the day to avoid crowds. Moreover, this park is perfect for bird watching as well as observing other wildlife such as turtles and foxes.
No need to go far from seeing a beautiful park. Take a walk in nature. Admire the landscape of Parc Bernard-Landry.

enjoyable to stroll- nice secluded areas around the pond and plenty of big old willow trees and maples.
But I do regret the play area they removed years ago to make room for BBq area. Its now desolate and lonely that space when it used to have tall swings and a wooden play hut for kids. The golfing installations now all over the parc are weird-don't understand the interest of playing this.
The old maple that was chopped down-was one of the most beautiful sights that greeted you when you took that path to the left. Now theres a big old stump :( . When you remove an iconic feature- it needs to be replaced please, not left a vaccum or as an eyesore of sadness with a depressing plaque commemorating its past beauty.
For newcomers to the parc- a map of the trails located at the CRDI entrance, or along the trails could give the walker a heads-up about the length of the trails.
It would be nice to have local art sculptures return to the parc like in 2010.

Parc des Prairies it's a place to relax and appreciate a beautiful day with your friends and family. Clean and organized, your kids will love to play on the big grass field and you will love to walk around to do some exercises or just seat under one of the beatifull trees and read a book and etc.

Beautiful parc in Laval. You can ride a bicycle, go see and enjoy nature, water and birds, have a picnic, walk, enjoy with family, exercise and admire the refreshing weather we have now.
The Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles (or "Eco-Park") is a protected wildlife area located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It has tranquil waterways, kayak and canoe rentals, and island hikes. The Eco-Park also offers SUPs (standup paddleboards), canoes, and kayaks for rental.
Great place for nature lovers, great rental service and nice staff. There’s kayak, paddle boards, canoeing and more. The prices are affordable too. There’s tables and benches for families, and there’s a café too! Worth checking out

Nice place to kayak when you don't want to go too far. It doesn't have corridors of forest but more in the wide waters. The dock where we had lunch had a dry toilet! Convenient indeed.
Cafeteria had just opened and the Cappuccino was excellent!

I went there by my car. It is also accessible by bus.
The experience for me was awesome.
There are several choices from kayak to paddle boards and boat.
The current of water os really slow and it makes it like a lake and really enjoying.
Don’t forget to bring sun care lotion.
I think there is the most close good place for having fun in the water with your kayak or rental one ranging from $30 to $100

Amazing rental service, wonderful staff. They do not do reservations, but don’t worry because they will not run out of equipment. I recommend coming early, before noon on weekends because they get busy. There’s not much parking on site but you can go to side streets. The time of rental starts when you pay so that’s how they calculate it. Overall amazing

We came here for the sunset Kayak and our guides were Alissa and Nathan. We were a couple and the rest of the people were on a company outing. It wasn't marked too well so we walked down and asked and everyone was aware of where to wait so that's nice. You go down by the kayaks and wait at the tables available.
It was really beautiful, we got to see a lot of homes of beavers and huge herons. We didn't see the full beavers out of water but they did smack the water as a sign of "stay away" even at 200m away from the beaver dams. Alissa the guide explained to use how they have restored this river to nearly bathable and all the $$ you pay for these activities goes towards preserving this beautiful river.
I wish the guides would have said this to everyone first because I love that and will come back because of this. Its very nice at sunset. You don't need any specific gear, we just paid online and came in comfortable clothes.
Beautiful river, wildlife, nice guides and well organized and clean. Bonus - your money goes to a good cause!!!!

This is one of the beautiful places for the nature lovers to simply get lost in a beautiful nature very close to the hectic urban centers.. If you enjoy Kayaking or Canoeing, this place is for you...Either rent one or bring your own, and go explore many islands that surrounds you. Most of the islands have picnic tables and Washrooms, so you can basically enjoy a day out with friends or families.... Also it is very pleasant place to fish ...

This review mainly concerns the rental service. I would give the rental service 1star but the scenery/ambiance 4 stars. Due to COVID, they only allow for min 3hrs rental or full day. And they also inflated their prices due to having to sanitize the kayaks/canoes. You can’t reserve online. The lineup for rental was one hour long, and even when you pay, you have to wait another 20min to get a kayak, which eats into the time you have. The people that are taking the kayaks in/out and need to sanitize are understaffed. So it’s a long wait! There is a strong current, but there is enough to kayak/canoe around for 3hours and not become repetitive. You see two big highways though which takes away from the “away from city” feel.
The worst part of my experience, is because we waited so long and had our kayaks at end of day, we returned our kayaks 5min before closing and then weren’t allowed to use the bathroom. The manager did not want to let us, even though they close 5min after, and the toilets were not even clean by the cleaning crew yet. That attitude is unacceptable! customers should be able to use the facility for human necessities. I am from montreal, and probably won’t return back there.
The Le Château Taillefer Lafon - Winery & Cidery provides exceptional service to its customers. Though small, the venue is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a beautiful atmosphere for any occasion. The caterers provide delicious food that guests will surely enjoy. Despite the challenges posed by Covid-19, the winery remained accommodating and understanding with regards to cancellations and refunds.
Two of our friends had their wedding ceremony here yesterday, and it was our first visit. The Chateau itself was easy located right off the highway, and the entrance was clearly marked (during daytime hours) with ample parking. We were impressed with the grounds as the fall foliage was in full bloom, and the Chateau is immaculately maintained. The ceremony took place outdoors facing the vineyards and the reception was held inside. It was very cool to be the only group there, meaning we think that there's one ceremony/group per day only, not multiple events happening at once. The staff was fantastic and very attentive to our needs throughout the whole night. The washrooms were clean, the food was delicious (catered) and the entire night went without a glitch! Based on our experience as guests, we'd recommend this place for a wedding!

What a spectacular venue, absolutely stunning. We had our engagement party of 60 guests at this location. It was absolutely beautiful, very intimate, isolated, and enchanting. Its surrounded by greenery all around so its the perfect location for a photoshoot! The hosts are super friendly, understanding, and accommodating. I would have given it 5 stars if it werent for the air conditioning system that failed us the night of our engagement. It was extremely hot outside and for some reason, the system was unable to keep up indoors, we were all sweating by 10-11 PM, it was very unbearable. I advise other couples considering this venue to discuss with the hosts means of maintaining the temperature indoors. Otherwise, top notch location!

We had our entire wedding (ceremony, cocktail, reception) on site at le Château Taillefer-Lafon (May 2015). It was gorgeous. Our original ceremony location was supposed to be on the lawn in front of the vineyards. Alas, a thunderstorm rolled in. Unlike any of the other locations we scouted, the Château had an excellent Plan B. The well-landscaped back patio has an awning that can be rolled out, and once set up with chairs and an aisle, it allowed the guests (and us) to stay comfortably dry while still outdoors. As a bonus, we still had the beautiful greenery of the vineyard as our backdrop.
For our sit-down dinner, the reception hall easily fit 9 round tables with nine seats each, and left space for a dance floor. And it was gorgeous! I wish I could post photos.
Another bonus is that we didn't have to worry about sharing the facilities with any other group. We had the whole property from 11am.
Overall, it was beautiful and the guests were amazed.

Amazing service from beginning to end. I had my wedding scheduled for June 5th, however unfortunately had to cancel due to Covid-19 but the venue had no problem refunding. Celine was amazing, quick to respond to emails, super helpful and kind. Not to mention, the food at the caterers was insanely delicious. Extremely sad that our wedding had to get cancelled, however would recommend this venue to anyone. Its beautiful, surrounded by lots of greenery. Small, however perfect for our amount of guests. Thank you Chateau Taillefer Lafon for your great service!
Centre Laval is a sprawling shopping complex that offers an impressive array of fashion, footwear, and accessory stores alongside eateries and home decor shops. The mall provides clean washrooms for customers at convenient locations within the premises. Visitors can enjoy a variety of stores such as La Baie, Dollarama, Avril, and several jewelry outlets along with restaurants like Subway, Nickels, and Fu Lam. The store provides excellent customer service to make your shopping experience delightful.
Love this store has such a great variety of products so nicely displayed in the large spacious store. Located in Centre Laval has a huge parking lot. The staff are friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next visit!

Large and nice shopping mall in Laval. It includes mega stores and small ones, international names such as Rogers, national ones such as Bell Canada and local shops such as Bicycles Quilicot.
From the mostly gentle mall music through the large alleys, the clean and spacious sitting spots and the well lit store entries, the mall offers a nice experience. A mall motorized train roams around, carrying adults and children. The conductor appears approachable as he waves back. The high ceilings, the clean floors, the glimmering decorations and the clean floors offer a nice mall experience.
The Mikaccino coffee provides a community experience where coffee amateurs gather to enjoy social interaction.
The aquarium, showcasing more than twenty fishes, is a nice addition to the mall, right in front of the food court. There’s a free wifi in case you want to connect.
Lots of free spaces are available for parking and this mall offers a nice experience.

It has good free parking , also nice light shows it takes like over an hour or so to go around whole theme park . It has various themes
I like the dogs and cats theme it’s so cute with background dog and cat noises. Overall it’s enjoyable especially if you are in family along with kids
It also have drive in where we can sit inside car and visit the park instead of walking.

It is a nice visit to do with family or friends. Better dress warmly…When it’s drag outside as you walk slowly and tend to freeze a bit. The themes were diverse but not well coordinated. I believe the pricing is a bit expensive but understand the park is quite big to manage. Since it was end of exhibition, some structures were torn and some lights were not working.

What an amazing experience ! It’s beautiful. When we visited Illumi it was snowing, it was a magical feeling. All lights are amazing. This is a good attraction for kids and adults.

Overall, a fantastic experience. We did the car tour and it was definitely worth the money. We could stop twice during the itinerary to walk a bit around the attractions and that was really fun. Some attractions are definitely more worth the watch than others, but overall, it was a magical experience that is worth a watch. I believe it was around 75$ for two adults.

The staff are all friendly, even the crossing guards too. Our family enjoy the nice walk and my daughter loved all the theme and light show. The path are not clean, it’s cover wit snow. So be careful. We did walk around and back since we didn’t want to miss anything, there’s a few dead end. I like how there’s a few mini house to warm up or take a break. Hot chocolate is 5$ each, food are a bit overpriced. There’s no parking. We went to park in the next building.

Very cool light experience. The parts with the horses and dinosaurs were awesome. As well as the giant tree with mesmerizing lights once you go inside it.
Now for the not so great:
The parking was a bit annoying to find. You need to go around the main attraction to find free space in either the shopping center or the main dedicated parking if it's not full (in our case it was). Then, you need to walk across the noisy and windy highway. Not ideal with a young child.
Since Illumini is closing soon, I felt like some of the expositions were left to the elements and are not maintained anymore (no more lights, ripped fabric, etc).
Overall, it was a fun experience, and our kid's eyes were well massaged.

Small museum. Exhibits were well made and bilingual. Generally more for children. There was an interesting interaction lab session where we pretended to investigate a vaccine.
For the price of entry, I think the museum would do well to expand the exhibits. It's not a bad museum, but I think Montréal Science Centre is a better value.

Sure, the building is nice. But it's waaayyyyy over priced for what you get : 2 small exhibitions that you though within 30mm. The only fun part of our visit was the workshop, and even that felt underwhelming (unless you are a 5 years old).

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative then going to a Montreal Canadians game, go here! Cheaper and worth it!

After experiencing this short stroll by the waterfront, I left a little disappointed. Mostly, I found that having a pedestrian path shared with bikes and the occasional speedy 'Vespa' was not secure. The seating benches and picnic tables are in pitiful condition. On the positive side, it seems like Ste-Rose is finally starting to embellish the riverfront. Time will tell how this area transforms. Tip: If looking for parking from Ste-Rose street, turn on Hotte to get to the parking lot by the water.

Tennis 13 Fitness is an excellent gym with a variety of enjoyable online classes and a range of sports facilities, including pickleball, badminton, tennis, squash, and wallyball courts. They also offer pilates and yoga classes. The complex has two indoor golf lesson spots and is currently renovating its pool. The lockers are well-maintained and there is a dry sauna available. The waiting/lounge area is comfortable and the prices for court usage are reasonable.
Tennis13 is a great gym. The staff is very nice. Marc, the manager, is always very friendly and attentive. The people working at the gym and shake bar are super helpful and motivating. I have had a few conversations with some trainers and gained really great insight. While chatting with Filipe, who is also a trainer, he encouraged me to start using the squat rack as an addition to my leg days, which was an intimidating move for me, and it improved my workouts significantly. I was telling him that I was scared of injuring my back and he helped me make sure my form was good. This is just an example of a small thing, but having tips and tricks from the staff really amplifies my increased interest and knowledge of fitness and everyone at Tennis13 is always down to help. The community is also really nice and friendly. The group classes are great too, especially Mary’s. The gym is clean and has great machines, a sauna, a pool (small), and tennis courts. The weights are generally placed at the right spots, which is great because some gyms don’t bother replacing them and it makes it annoying to look for them during a workout. I like the tennis courts also. I just wish they had kept their no court fees membership which was so great. Overall great experience with tennis13

Absolutely horrible online reservation platform. First off, there is a dead window from midnight to 7:30 am where you simply cannot access it. Then once you do access it, it often doesn’t process your requests. It says processing time should be 5 min, but it took up to 5 days in some instances. 5 days… then got an email saying the court I selected wasn’t available anymore. This is my first month as a member and I had trouble with 14 online reservation attempts thus far. Reservations by phone are just not convenient for me. and usually result in all courts being already booked. Facility and tennis courts are great, but there’s a huge amount of ball fur everywhere. Never seen that much anywhere else. All in all, good tennis club… if you’re able to make a reservation and actually play.

This place is swarmed with "wannabe professional" pickleball players! They are aggressive, condescending, and selfish.
Pickball players have a tendency to book mainly the badminton fields AND to jump from field to field and play until the real person with the reservation come and ask them to leave. This happened to me 9/10 TIMES!
From this and from how timeslots are booked (1 hour, 1:30 hours, 2 hours etc.), I often see them coming in at odd time and get to any field they like (they walk around and check where is empty and go in).
This is what I see almost every time: "They come at 8:45 and play until 9 until someone that reserved the field comes in and ask them to leave. Then, they go to another empty field and keep playing until that happen again) I suppose they highly likely come and go as they want. Why highly likely? I don't think they were paying for each field they were on. From my experience, I've seen those people changing fields more than 3 times in one hour.
There is no check at the door. Just scan your card and walk in. I wouldn't be surpise if they play more than they paid for.
One more nasty thing they do. They will yell at you for using the SIDE of the field to go to the fields in the back. Why? Because you are interrupting their "championship"! PLOT TWIST! When they need to cross, they expect you to stop until they exit.
Plus, at the cost of menbership, which is not cheap, picklball players have their own groups and clubs, so they have priority on booking. At a certain time of the week, they book the whole section, including badminton fields for their league. This suck for regular members since they take all the good timeslots and fields. And why the badminton fields as well? Isn't this pickleball? Field standards aren't even the same for both sports!
My suggestion is to separate badminton and pickleball membership. Why am I paying for the same cost as them and not being able to get any good field and playtime ? If you are a pickleball player, please play on the pickleball fields!
This is seriously a close to 500$ mistake to be a member at Tennis13!

Clean, spacious and relaxed atmosphere. You can play tennis, badminton, squash etc. There is a viewing area with a coffee/snack bar. They also have a gym, spinning and a swimming pool.

I have only been to the gym and it is a really good one. I have seen the indoor tennis courts and they look good. To be honest, the pool is a little small. It isn't possible to do laps in it. Other than that, the place is really clean and the gym membership isn't really expensive.

Who puts a yoga class that is supposed to be relaxing in the gym where everyone drops weights and shouts. It’s just wrong.

Expensive memberships, they often have website issues forcing phone calls for bookings, but newer facilities and great courts! Staff is also nice
Last summer, the person's daughter had a positive experience at Club De Trampoline Acrosport day camp. However, this year they decided to try a different camp that cost $200 per week. Surprisingly, their daughter preferred going back to Acrosport because it was more enjoyable. At the camp, English-speaking kids and some monitors were able to communicate in English.
Excellent place, they take really good care of kids. Super professional and caring people.

This place is very boring. Not recommended at all, not even worth 1 dollar. I'd not even go to that place if it was even free. That's how horrible it is. This place is a heck of an abomination

My dauthter went to day camp there last summer and she liked it very much. Wanted to do something different this year, so I put her in a $200/week daycamp and you know what? She wants to go back to Acrosport because IT'S MORE FUN!!
My daughter is English speaking, with a good knowledge of French, and many of the kids and some of the monitors spoke English.
What bothered me more is that the camp had to be paid upfront AND there was NO way to change dates around. Plus, they don't mail income tax receipts.
Maison des Arts de Laval is a well-known cultural center that has been showcasing contemporary art and hosting theatrical performances since its establishment in 1986. The venue houses a visual arts gallery featuring modern works, in addition to its main stage for performing arts. However, the gallery space can be difficult to find as it is somewhat hidden from view. Visitors are advised to inquire at the front desk for directions.
Didn't come here for the performing arts, rather I came to the gallery space that they have to view Adam Basanta's Futurs possibles exhibition. It is quite hidden - the parking staff didn't know there was any shows on so I couldn't park in the parking lot. Parked out on the street instead. (Beware! A parking cop gave me a ticket although I am disputing it as others were parked there and there was no signs indicating that you can't). As for the gallery, ask the front desk where to go. They are very kind. The gallery is a nice space and had someone to give a tour of the exhibit. Thank you :-)

I went to see a comedy stand-up show with my wife. The artist was Martin Vachon, I might be wrong on his name. The opening act was funny and gave a good tone for the evening. The main act was funny as well, even if I had heard a few of his "sets" before.
We were seated completely on the left, but had a good view of the stage. The seats were a bit tight, but with enough leg room between the rows.
The music and "effects" were too loud, but the comedian's voice just right.
The room was a comfortably small, and it gave a more personal experience. We did not have to wait too long to exit after the show.
We had a great evening with lots of laughs.

Fantastic place for musical and comedy shows. Good sound and good view from anywhere you sit... bar with alcoholic beverages in the lobby but you cannot get in the theater with your drink. Staff is very nice and friendly.
simon lemieux — Google review
Great cozy place. The theater fits 300 people, so wherever you sit you are close enough.
Acoustics are great and the parking lot is $7 (if I'm not wrong)
You can arrive by metro, because it is walking distance from Montmorency station.
They have drinks, coffee and water to sell at the venue and it is wheelchair accessible.

The improvements made to Berge aux Quatre-Vents park are impressive, particularly the transformation of the beach into a swimmable area. This achievement should have happened much earlier. In terms of facilities, there are two portable toilets available nearby, but if you venture a bit further to the parking lot, you will find a luxurious air-conditioned bathroom called the Star Suites. The park offers stunning views of the Milles-iles river and is usually not crowded due to its secluded location.
Just wow. The changes they have made are great. Making the beach swimmable is just fantastic. This is something they should have accomplished years ago. There are two porta potties serving the place but if you walk a little further to the parking lot you will see an air conditioned star suites bathroom.

Wow! Gorgeous beach, that's free 🤯 couldn't believe it! There are picnic tables, porta potties that are actually clean and nice soft sand 🤩 you can't bring alcohol in though they check your bags. I was very impressed!

Perhaps it was a good beach in the past (to judge by the nice pictures) but today there is NO beach. Only a park with some shade and picnic tables. The place is entirely flooded up to the grassy area. No sandy shore at all. Pets are allowed but must be on a leash and Laval officers are always around ensuring you comply.

Very nice park with beautiful views of the Milles-îles river! Not usually that busy and it is in a very not packed area so you can expect some privacy to a certain extent. Nice parks nearby and a couple of bike lanes.

Nice family place but missing one star because there are no facilities whatsoever (No water foutain or public washrooms, which admittedly would be complex to install in an area that gets flooded every spring).
Gagné Park is a charming and appealing area, offering a pleasant vantage point of the Bordeaux Railway Bridge. However, it is lamentable that the riverside stroll is not very extensive. This location serves as an ideal spot to find tranquility, although occasionally it can become crowded. The optimal periods to visit are early morning or late in the day. Situated adjacent to larger parks within walking distance, there is complimentary parking available and a delightful water view.
One of our favorite parks is a serene spot with water views of the city skyline on the opposite side, creating a super relaxing atmosphere.
It's filled with ducks, geese, benches, and picnic tables by the river, making it perfect for short walks and leisurely hangs.

Used to be a quiet place, now it's really crowded during the day. And in the evening, I feel like every pothead in laval comes here to smoke weed.
