With the growing popularity of the “staycation” concept—the art of spending your vacation close to home—Laval is an ideal option for anyone looking to try it out. Still not convinced? Read on. You’ll be convinced, and you’ll also discover that spending your vacation in Laval supports eco-friendly tourism!
Accessible by public transit from Montreal or the Northern Suburbs, Laval offers a wide range of nearby attractions that let you do it all without having to drive or travel far. Whether you’re looking for a cultural visit, adrenaline-pumping activities, or a nature getaway, Laval has everything you need for a successful short stay—whether it’s for a day or 72 hours, it doesn’t matter! Plus, choosing Laval for your staycation means reducing your carbon footprint while making the most of your free time.
A peaceful haven, Laval is the perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The Rivière-des-Mille-Îles Park is a natural gem just a stone’s throw from downtown. Whether you’re looking to take a stroll under the trees or go kayaking on the river, the park is the perfect place to get active and breathe in some fresh air, surrounded by exceptional flora and fauna. A perfect example of sustainable tourism, the park emphasizes biodiversity conservation and the protection of aquatic ecosystems. It also features a protected area and a turtle rehabilitation sanctuary. Other suggestions for nature walks: the Nature Center and its pond or one of the Laval Woods.
Laval has so much to offer! It’s rich in cultural activities that adhere to the principles of sustainable development and also help enrich visitors’ knowledge! The Cosmodome and the Armand-Frappier Health Museum , which are adjacent to one another, share a common mission: to raise awareness and educate visitors about the beauty and fragility of ecosystems. In addition, the Water Interpretation Centre (C.I.EAU) offers a water-themed scavenger hunt that raises visitors’ awareness of the importance of drinking water and sustainable water resource management. These are attractions definitely worth visiting, whether it’s raining, sunny, or stormy.
Whether you're on vacation or enjoying a staycation, food is often the main focus. The good news is that Laval's dining scene is booming and offers restaurants with surprising concepts and varied, high-quality menus. Plus, if you’re in the mood for local—very, very local—food, you can visit one of the many farms located in the Laval area. For example, there’s Marineau Farm, with its fresh produce and pick-your-own activities. And we can’t leave out the Fromagerie du Vieux Saint-François , which offers fine cheeses made on-site. Also, a visit to Château Taillefer Lafon (a fabulous vineyard) is a delightful experience and promotes eco-friendly and responsible winemaking practices.
Getting to Laval is easy. Thanks to its public transit network and three metro stations, getting to the island is a breeze. And to enjoy Laval’s attractions without a care in the world, get around safely, and help protect the planet, the city offers 26 Bixi bike-sharing stations, electric scooters, and buses. Otherwise, you can always walk from one place to another, especially from Centropolis. Hotels, shopping centers, restaurants, attractions—everything is within a five-kilometer radius.
