Connect with nature and take in panoramic views
Biosphère – Espace pour la vie
In the middle of Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Sainte-Hélène is where you’ll find the Biosphère, a Montréal landmark since the 1967 World’s Fair and home to exhibitions and artistic installations that invite dialogue between science, culture, social innovation, eco-responsibility and the environment. Considered a pioneering building in sustainable architecture, the Biosphère offers a superb view of downtown and the St. Lawrence River from its panoramic belvedere. In addition to a host of activities for children, you'll discover a green wall, an indoor garden and green roofs.
In the heart of the architecturally impressive Espace pour la vie complex, explore five ecosystems of the Americas under one roof: the tropical forest, the maple grove of the Laurentians, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the coasts of Labrador and the subantarctic islands.
Just 25 minutes from downtown, the Zoo Ecomuseum offers a nature getaway on the island of Montréal with Québec wildlife including black bears, lynx, eagles, reptiles, amphibians and more.
Climb aboard one of the 42 comfortable cabins of Montréal’s observation wheel and rise to a height of 60 metres to admire one of the city’s most beautiful panoramic views.
Grand Quay and Port of Montréal Tower
The Port of Montreal's Grand Quay offers spectacular views of the city and river. Stroll along the Promenade d'Iberville, then head for the 65-metre glassed-in Port of Montréal Tower where the view of the city and river is nothing short of breathtaking. The more intrepid will enjoy the thrill of the glass cage, where the transparent floor makes you feel as if you're floating.
Let's play!
In groups of six, get ready to have family fun and burn some energy with a game of laser tag that's 100% safe for everyone. May the best player win!
One of the best places in town for bowling and laser tag, as well as virtual reality platforms, arcades and escape rooms. Afterwards, fuel up at the bistro pub with delectable dishes and microbrewery beers.
