Santa's list for (large) unruly children

Santa Claus isn't just for good kids. That's a myth. He also loves (big), boisterous children, the ones who turn life into a beautiful storm. As proof, he's put together a list of activities just for you. Will you have time for everything?

Aiming for the top

Do you have big ambitions in life as well as in climbing? Challenge yourself on the bouldering walls of the Crux Centre d'escalade in Laval. A host of routes are available to challenge beginners and experts alike. Also, before or after climbing, you can take advantage of the training plateau to find the right balance between hearty holiday meals and good health.

Thinking you're Gordie Howe

Do you have the soul of a field hockey player, but not the skating touch? Never mind, take over one of the ice rinks at Place Bell and let the skater in you express himself. After all, that's what free skating sessions are for, to have a great time.

Slippery stones don't gather moss

Feeling heavy as a rock or a bit of a potato? Blame it on holiday dinners, but don't panic. Get off the couch and away from the ordinary, then head to the Nature Center. With your tuque, mittens and snow pants, you'll be able to tube until you can't stand it anymore. It's a great way to fill up on lightness. Pst! You can also skate on the frozen lake. Another way to glide. Of course, Mother Nature being what she is, it's best to check trail conditions to make sure you can enjoy these winter activities.

Getting to grips with badminton

Indoor badminton is a great way to get moving less intensely than tennis, but certainly more than playing cards. What's more, if you play with family or friends, you'll have the chance to chat while playing a friendly game (and not chat while fighting, mind you). Visit Complexe Multi-Sports de Lavalyou can rent the court and rackets. How convenient.

Jumping into space... without a parachute

Are you interested in skydiving, but... not really? Do you want to experience the sensation of flying like a bird? Perfect, book a session with iFly Laval-Montreal. In an indoor free-fall simulator, you can realize your dream in a safe environment. This is an activity you can do on your own, in a group or with the whole family. Toddlers aged 3 and over can also take part.
