Place Jean-Paul Riopelle is a public space that is built on a former parking lot. It's located…read morebetween the new entrance to the Palais des congres and of the CDP Capital Centre. This little gem of a park is found in DT Montreal at crossroads of busy intersections; however, a great little spot to sit and read a book, relax your feet for a while, or to just people-watch, as there are plenty of benches and trees for shade. During the evenings, there are lights that light up the park. Don't forget to check out the sculpture-fountain by Riopelle called 'La Joute,' which is part of a fountain that runs a 30-minute spectacle between mid-May through mid-October. +plenty of benches and trees + 'La Joute' fountain - 30-minute 'performance' offered from mid-May-mid-October

Jean-Paul Riopelle square is one of my favourite places in Montreal. It is in fact little park with…read morenumerous benches surrounded by new buildings and brightened by the colourful windows of Palais des Congres. Whether you come from Old Montreal or China Town you would be surprised by the feeling of freshness and contrasting modernity. What is really outstanding about this square is the fountain of the famous Montreal born artist Jean-Paul Riopelle: La Joute. You can read about its history yourself in Wikipedia: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Joute, just don't forget to see it with your own eyes. It is beautiful!

Second escape room attempt ever. Decided to try out a different company to see what else is out…read morethere and how differently the companies do things. With A/Maze, I find that they focus a lot more on making sure you have fun and are challenged not to the point of frustration but really to push your thinking. -You get unlimited hints which is already something I didn't think was possible, the room is never locked so if you need to go to the bathroom or need a breather you can leave at any time (I do find that this takes you out of the game setting though), -You get a walkie talkie to communicate with the game master but there's also a button near the door which can summon him if anything, -You get a very strong flashlight, -If ever something doesn't work, the game master will come and fix it and will add additional time for the time lost on the faulty clue (our iPad was dysfunctional and they added an extra 10 minutes for it) -As well as when he comes in the room to explain something, the timer will be paused. My friends and I loved our time here, it was a lot of fun and we would definitely do another game.

Came here for my first Montreal escape experience and it was way better than I expected! Having…read moredone many escape rooms in Ottawa, I already had an idea in my mind or what it might be like, but it definitely exceeded expectations. We chose the bank robbery escape room and it was super cool because of the different techy touches. We had 45 minutes and sadly did not escape, but it was still an awesome experience! We were tempted to turn around and do another one right after. The staff were helpful and informative, and it's in a really convenient location. I particularly like that they have storage chests for any bags or jackets that you don't want to (or can't) bring in with you. Price wise it was about $30 per person, but it's totally worth it for the amount of fun you can have. If you haven't already, definitely check it out and give it a shot!

Not the biggest zoo, but convenient for us when we visit Montreal since we stay in Pointe-Claire…read moreand an easy way to keep our small children (4 and 2 year olds) entertained for 2 hours. Agree with others that the animals are not all that impressive (a lot of birds and smaller animals), however the layout makes for a good experience that's not overwhelming. It's also got a few different play areas scattered around the property, which provides a good break while animal watching.

Our group visited Montreal for a bachelor party and would highly recommend for those interested in curling. Plenty of space, including lounge space and a bar upstairs. A brief lesson was included, then they let you play for the majority of your reserved time. Will definitely visit again when back in Montreal!

I've been dragon boating for 3 years now and this place is great! I love the facilities. They are…read moreclean, have everything you need to train, and easy to get to. I wish they had better food options but that's just me. I watched the solar eclipse from this view point and it was perfect. Quiet and unobstructed view. I also like to run laps of the bassin or bike ride around the area and the circuit. Events here are always well organized and can accommodate lots of people.

I've had the pleasure of taking part in both outdoor competitions and indoor training here and literally look forward to it every time! The basin is easily accessible by public transport, and offers a nice open space with ample seating for spectators. The views are also great here, be it that it's located off island in an open space, allowing to get great shot of the sunrise especially during those really early morning competitions. There are always staff onsite to keep the venue clean and safe, and every event hosted here has been a great success. The only downside is the price of parking which will set you back 25$, unless you're a member of the club where you can pay for a more affordable parking pass.
