Things to do in Montreal with kids: the best family outings

Vieux-Port de Montréal et centre-ville au coucher du soleil

Montreal has more family activities than any other region in Quebec: interactive museums, indoor amusement centres, large parks, festivals almost every weekend and neighbourhoods best discovered on foot. This guide brings together our best ideas for outings with kids in Montreal, sorted by category, with the listing of each place and upcoming events.

Good to know

The metro serves most of the major family venues and saves you the headache of parking downtown. Several museums offer free admission days or hours, and the large parks (Mount Royal, Parc Jean-Drapeau, Maisonneuve Park) can be visited all year round, with different activities in summer and winter.
