This place is absolutely incredible and I'll be happy when more people know about it…read more It opened a year ago and has several different rooms for kids to explore and play in. You go online to book an hour or more and you have the run of the entire place for that hour. I went with my grandson who isn't quite 2 years old yet and he had a great time but kids of all ages will find fun stuff to do. HUGE ball pit, tons of sensory toys, swings and hanging chairs, light shows, amazing videos, there's even a climbing wall. Once your hour is up, everything is cleaned before the next family comes in. They use several products to sterilize, including fogging in the ball pit. Grab the kids and go!

The Ferris wheel has climate-controlled cabins, which made the ride very comfortable. We got…read morebeautiful 360° views of Montréal and enjoyed about three full rotations, which felt like a good amount of time to take everything in. The seats were comfortable, and the ride was very smooth--I didn't feel much shaking at all inside the Ferris wheel. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience with great views of the city.

"Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'" (Journey)…read more We lucked out with Montreal's hot (almost summer-like) weather when we arrived on Wednesday. After we checked into our hotel, we wandered down to the Port of Montreal and checked out the waterfront, museums and La Grande Roue de Montréal. It reminded us of the Big Eye in London. The Grand Roue (French for "Big Wheel") is 60 meters, or nearly 200 feet tall, so the top of the wheel is like standing on the roof of a 20-story building. You get a gorgeous 360° panoramic view of the city as you lazily make three revolutions on the wheel inside one of their 42 comfortable and modern (just built in 2017) gondolas. We got a beautiful view of some of the area's attractions- Old Montréal, Jacques-Cartier Park, Mount Royal, the Saint Lawrence River and in the distance the remnants of 1967's Montreal Expo World's Fair. It was nostalgic when I realized that I had been there 58 years ago. Our adult ticket cost C$32.19 each with tax and miscellaneous charges.

Hmmm, maybe a 3 star experience for me at best, but bumped up given that it's well-suited for kids…read moreand that it was a very reasonable price with our MTL pass. It's at a great location at the Old Port. It's effectively a large warehouse space with the labyrinth being made up of metal frames with vinyl barriers. You need to go to four station where you have your card punched before you can try and find the exit, with each station offering a bit of history of the city. We had purchased the MTL pass which gave us a choice of dozens of options to redeem (you need to look that up if visiting the city!). This hadn't been our first choice as we wanted to do a boat tour, but with that no working out, we found this. It wasn't the most elaborate or impressive thing, but it did still take a good hour to get through and the three kids with us (aged between 8-12) really enjoyed it. I didn't look up the prices, but it was a 'pink' activity from our pass which would've been about a $15 cost, and that was fair. I'd recommend it mostly just for those with kids, but with that in mind and it being in a great location, it's a good family option.

With only about 50 people in line, I had the space to move freely, look up into the treetops, and peer down into rivers and tanks without feeling rushed. It felt immersive from the start. What makes this place special is how alive it feels. No cages, no bars, just ecosystems. Birds glide overhead, and wildlife lives within carefully designed natural habitats that feel both safe and intimate. Close enough to connect, far enough to respect the wild. Accessibility was thoughtful too, with both stairs and a smooth walkway option. Getting there early made all the difference. By my second loop, the school groups had arrived and the energy shifted from calm exploration to lively chaos. The Biodome itself is massive, divided into five distinct ecosystems. One moment you're wrapped in tropical warmth, the next you're stepping into a colder, northern world. It's like walking through climates instead of hallways. Location is another win. It's right outside Viau Station, making it incredibly easy to reach. Plus, it sits alongside the Montreal Olympic Tower and the Montreal Planetarium, turning the area into a full-day adventure playground. The staff were welcoming and bilingual in French and English, adding to an already smooth experience. #tysadventures26 #SpringBreak26 #Biodome

My favourite climbing gym so far. It's big, doesn't get too crowded, has a nice open cafe area, a…read moregym area to warm up, and lots of challenging climbs. I really enjoy coming here with friends. The staff is very friendly and if it's your first time they explain the rules and guide you on the different areas of the gym. You can rent shoes and a chalk bag, they have a nice shop area as well if you want to buy any of your own gear. Their entryway could use a bit of a change since in the winter I find it gets really wet with all the boots and they run out of hangers because of the heavy winter coats, but other than that it's good!

A good, small climbing gym that's on the outskirts of Montréal. They have two indoor bouldering…read morewalls and one outside, but we weren't able to check out the latter as it was raining pretty hard. We were only able to climb the top out bouldering wall on the lower floor as they were changing the routes on the bouldering wall upstairs (not top out). There're more top-roping options than bouldering, and lead routes have the least available (understandable). I find it more worth it top-rope, so if you're new to the gym or visiting I would go with someone who can belay. As for the boulders themselves, they are graded based on circuits (V0, V0-V2, V2-V4, etc.; the grading scale is accurate). There were no V0s when we went, and there were 2 V0-V2s and 2 V2-4s, so if you're looking for a place more beginner-friendly, I would look elsewhere. Most of the climbs were advanced, so I would recommend being around V4 and above to make your visit(s) here worth it.

My 12 year old was in heaven. He could climb, swing, jump, crawl, and propel himself all under the watchful eye of the wonderful souls in the red shirts. He was perfectly harnessed and they were very explicit in their safety rules. I was able to observe him from the ground in a comfy Adirondack chair with other parents. Some read books, others enjoyed the sunshine. It was a really positive experience. They have a small snack bar which was helpful. It really is a wonderful ropes/obstacle course. They have an inflatable park, but he never made it there since he was having a great time. We will definately go back!

Now what more can I say about this park other than it is very under appreciated and strikingly beautiful in it's own unique way! The rides here are what they are some of the coasters are nothing short of incredible as Goliath is one of the best hyper coasters in North America and Le Monster is also a very fun wooden coaster with a unique layout wit some really fun laterals that are sure to throw you out of your seat! The backdrop to this park is a huge bridge that connects two different parts of Montréal making for a beautiful sight anywhere in the park! The food here is super good for a Six Flags Park like some of the things I had here are better than anything I've had anywhere else in the chain which is a total plus as who doesn't like yummy park food when your paying that price for it! Overall this really is an amazing park with lots of awesome qualities and after hearing about that fireworks competition that they hold it's on my list to get back here at some point because that just sounds amazing so with that said are you when I see you again La Ronde!
