Laval: An Exceptional Island for Everyone

In the morning  

Start your day by opening a door to art with a stop at the Maison des arts de Laval, accessible from the Montmorency metro station (accessible). You can experience culture without barriers because the theater has a row of removable seats to accommodate wheelchairs, the exhibition hall is spacious, and the freight elevator provides access to the upper floors. 

Helpful tip: Arrive early to enjoy the exhibits in a quiet setting, and check the schedule in advance to see if a guided tour is available. 

Before lunch 

Take a break with an educational tour—partially accessible—at the Rivière-des-Prairies Hydroelectric Power Plant. This power plant is much more than an industrial site; it’s a place that tells the story of our connection to the environment. On-site facilities are available for people with reduced mobility, the blind or visually impaired, as well as the deaf or hard of hearing. 

Helpful tip: Check the tour schedules and let them know about any special needs you may have when making your reservation. 

For dinner 

Time to relax and refuel! See you in Zibo! and enjoy the great, affordable, and delicious menu. Everything here is designed to make you feel comfortable: ample legroom under the table (over 68.5 cm), a menu with large print, and table service and payment. 

Helpful tip: Be sure to make a reservation, especially during busy times. 

In the afternoon  

Come on, let's go! Off to the Nature Centre, one of Quebec’s largest urban parks. The atmosphere is peaceful, the trails are well-maintained, and several buildings have accessible restrooms. On site, you’ll find two picnic tables, which are also accessible.  

Helpful tip: Bring a water bottle, a hat, and a blanket if you’d like to take a longer break in nature. 

At the end of the day

To wrap up the afternoon, you have two options: iFly or Clip’n Climb, because there’s no limit to the adrenaline rush. Head to iFly for an inclusive session with adapted equipment and trained instructors, or to Clip’n Climb for a calm, adapted climbing session. And on Monday evenings (from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.), join the Adapted Evenings, in partnership with Autisme Laval. 

Helpful tip: Reservations are strongly recommended for both options.  

In the evening

Make yourself comfortable for a show at the Salle André-Mathieu, one of Laval’s iconic cultural venues. Fully wheelchair accessible and equipped with services for the deaf and hard of hearing, this venue offers comedy and music shows that are sure to meet your expectations.
