Warning! At the end of each day, your kids might well ask, “When are we going to bed?”

Rivière-des-Mille-Îles Park: A Place to Relax
Taking the time to slow down is a must during this cold season. And what better way to take care of yourself than by playing outside and getting a little exercise? So why wait? Head over to the Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles, that huge playground where you can go cross-country skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, snow sliding, or ice skating. Plus, you can warm up and grab a quick snack at the park’s chalet.
The Magic of Water: Combining Education and Fun
Then, without delay, set sail for the C.I.Eau (Laval Water Interpretation Center) to explore the permanent exhibition “The Water’s Journey: From River to River.” Through scavenger hunts, games, and short demonstrations, you’ll learn a little more about drinking water and wastewater treatment.
Score some points with fluorescent mini-golf this winter
Whether you're a mini-golf fan or just feeling nostalgic for the '90s (hello, neon!), the Putting Edge in Laval will leave you speechless. With its 18-hole indoor fluorescent course and enchanting themes, this place will captivate you and have you laughing nonstop.
End the day at the Hilton Laval
Need to completely unwind or just want a change of scenery? Don't go home—stay overnight with your family. Spend a night with your family at the Hilton Montreal-Laval. By choosing the family suite—which features a separate bedroom and a fully equipped kitchen where you can prepare a hearty, comforting dinner—you can have a delicious meal delivered from Le Quartz (the hotel’s restaurant) or prepare breakfast for the next morning.
Take a walk in the woods while winter is here
Start your day off right by getting a breath of fresh air. Whether on foot, on snowshoes, or on skis, explore one of the six large forests in Laval and take in the natural beauty. More than 50 kilometers of trails await you—the equivalent of two round trips between Laval and Rosemère. In short, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to burn off some energy.
Skate Like a Pro
Did you know? In addition to hosting numerous shows and the Laval Rocket, the Place Bell has ice rinks where you can enjoy public skating at very affordable prices. Another interesting fact: the venue is accessible by public transit.
Mission Cosmo: Spend part of the day “in a dream world”
When the signal is given, everyone boards the Astralis shuttle and, for the duration of the mission, becomes an astronaut or a flight controller. You’ll have to determine whether life has developed on the satellite Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons located 600 million kilometers from Earth. As a team, at the Cosmodome in Laval, you’ll oversee the launch of your spacecraft and ensure that your space mission goes smoothly.
Escape into an escape room
To give your brain a workout, test your nerves, and have a really fun time with your family, try an escape room at Escaparium or Immersia. And if you have any big LEGO fans at home, go for the Bernie Block game (Immersia). You won’t believe it (well, mentally, at least).
Dining at Boulangerie la Bête à pain in Laval
It's time for a tasty break at the Bête à pain Laval. In a cozy setting, you can enjoy high-quality local products or choose a dish from the menu, which includes breakfast, lunch, takeout, pastries, baked goods, and fresh rolls. While you’re there, be sure to stock up on takeout items to extend the pleasure.
Book a room at the Sheraton to get some rest
Feeling tired? Treat yourself to a spontaneous overnight stay at the Sheraton Laval. You’ll be pampered by the hotel’s comfort and warm hospitality.
A wealth of entertainment all under one roof
Is it harder to make decisions this morning? No problem—head over to Zone 15 , where you can play mini-golf, take part in a game of Laser Tag, hop into racing simulators, or have fun at the arcade games. In short, there’s something for everyone.
Clip’n Climb Laval: Push Your Limits
Despite your very busy schedule over the last few days, you still have energy to spare. Take on the walls at Clip’n Climb Laval. You’ll be able to test your strength and your tolerance for heights.
A cozy, ceramic-decorated café to catch your breath
After such a busy weekend, a quiet indoor activity is just what the doctor ordered. Head over to the Café Déco Céramique , where you can grab a bite to eat while creating decorative ceramic pieces. Who in your group will have the most imagination?
Boston Pizza, to end the weekend on a festive note
Round out this dream weekend with a meal at Boston Pizza. Pizzas, salads, pasta, and more. The menu is varied, but the best part is that kids eat for free (certain conditions apply). And on hockey game nights, you can watch your favorite team in action, live on the big screen.
