5 activities
Early morning, a time full of mysteries
Early this morning, we’re heading to the Water Interpretation Center ! You’ll start the day off gently, but with a big mission: to uncover the secrets of water through “The Bracelet of the Waves,” an immersive game. As a family, you’ll face three challenges to unravel the mysteries of water, using your powers of observation and logic! As a reward, everyone leaves with a unique piece of jewelry—a tangible souvenir of your aquatic quest.
Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. / Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Small lunch, big lunch
To function properly, the brain needs fuel! Head over to La Bête à Pain for a truly delicious meal! Buttery pastries, artisanal breads, and tasty dishes await you. An essential gourmet break to kick off the second half of your scientific adventure on the right foot!
A short afternoon, big thoughts
Come explore scientific topics at the temporary exhibition “It’s Heating Up! Cool It” at the Armand-Frappier Health Museum. This exhibition-and-lab experience will help you see climate change in a new light by combining science and art. Divided into two parts, you’ll get to put your brain to work and then take action in a hands-on lab activity. And while you’re there, don’t forget to visit the permanent exhibition!
Every day of the week, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A quiet end to the day, a mysterious journey into infinity
To end the day on a high note, head to the Cosmodome to enjoy its brand-new exhibition, Destination: Space. For a few hours, you and the kids will step into the shoes of an astronaut ready to take off and explore the far reaches of the universe. This interactive adventure will immerse you in the heart of the space race and its mysteries.
Every day of the week, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A short journey, a grand finale
Since an intergalactic journey works up an appetite, let's move on to OG Burger for a gourmet burger in the atmosphere of a real diner, where we head to the P’tite Boutique to take home a traditional couscous. Don’t feel like going home? Wrap things up at the hotel, at the Hilton or the Sheraton, and relive your day in your dreams under a soft comforter.
