Before the Bell Rings: 5 Perfect Outings in Laval Before School Starts

Playing and laughing in the great outdoors 

The heat is subsiding, the sky is turning orange… and there you are, gathered around a table on the terrace of the Randolph Centropolis, menu in hand and ready to burst into laughter. Whether you’re with family, friends, or even on a pre-back-to-school date, this fun-filled pub is the perfect place to test your teamwork and discover unique board games. 

People come here to play, but also to eat! The menu is generous, the drinks are refreshing, and the staff are always ready to explain the rules with enthusiasm. It’s the perfect place to laugh, unwind, and recharge your spirits before diving back into your schoolwork. 

Marvel at the stars 

One August evening, as the wind begins to die down, you arrive at the Momo Station, an open-air cultural space that turns the end of summer into magical moments. Music, theater, storytelling, or art installations: here, art is alive, vibrant, and accessible to everyone. 

Imagine yourself sitting on a blanket, a local juice in hand, listening to an up-and-coming band or taking in a dazzling show. At Station Momo, every evening becomes a little sensory journey. It’s the perfect place to recharge your creativity before heading back to school. 

Enjoy summer until the very last bite 

Between adventures, it’s time for a break. Let’s head to Dolce & Santella, in the heart of Laval, to savor artisanal Italian gelato worthy of the best vacations in the sun. Whether you’re the type to always choose the same flavor or to try seasonal flavors, you’ll find something here to satisfy your sweet tooth. 

We meet there to discuss our summer reads, plan our next outings, or simply savor the moment, elbows propped on a table on the terrace, chins smeared with chocolate. A summer tradition worth celebrating right down to the very last bite! 

Move to the Rhythm of the Roses 

Since the energy of summer is also felt in the stadiums, why not go see a Roses, Laval’s professional women’s soccer team? Their performances are electrifying, their team spirit is contagious, and their passion is inspiring! 

In the stands, people cheer, clap, and share fries and excitement. Whether you’re a soccer fan or just curious, a Roses game is a great way to support local sports while enjoying an exciting evening before school starts. 

Embrace Nature with Open Arms 

Before diving back into the digital world of homework, why not reconnect with nature? At the Forget Farm, pick-your-own becomes a relaxing and festive activity. Whether you’re looking for juicy raspberries, sun-kissed blueberries, or the first fall vegetables, every visit is a refreshing break. 

Imagine a day spent with your hands in the leaves, your heart light, and your basket filling up amid laughter. At the end of the day, you head home with your arms full of fresh produce… and maybe even a homemade pie to enjoy with your family. It’s the kind of simple moment that makes vacations unforgettable.
