Santa's List for (Big) Naughty Kids

Santa isn’t just for well-behaved children. That’s a myth. He also loves mischievous (big) kids—the ones who turn life into a wild ride. To prove it, he’s put together a list of activities just for you. Will you have time to do it all?

Aim for the top

Do you have big ambitions in life as well as in climbing? Test your skills on the bouldering walls at the Crux Climbing Center in Laval. A wide variety of routes are open and can challenge beginners and experts alike. Plus, before or after your climb, you can use the workout area to find the right balance between hearty holiday meals and staying healthy.

Thinking you're Gordie Howe

Do you have the heart of a hockey player but not the skating skills? No problem—hit the ice at one of the rinks in Place Bell and let your inner skater shine. After all, that’s what public skating sessions are for—to have a blast.

A rolling stone gathers no moss

Do you feel as heavy as a rock or a bit sluggish? It’s all those holiday dinners, but don’t panic. Get off the couch, break out of your routine, and head to the Nature Centre. With your hat, mittens, and snow pants, you can go tubing until you can’t go on anymore. You’ll see—it’s a great way to feel light and free. Pssst! Once there, you can also go ice skating on the frozen lake. Another way to glide. Of course, since Mother Nature is what she is, it’s best to check the trail conditions to make sure you can enjoy these winter activities.

Getting the Hang of Badminton

For a workout that’s less intense than tennis but definitely more active than playing cards, indoor badminton is a great option. Plus, when you play with family or friends, you’ll have the chance to chat while enjoying a friendly match (not just arguing while playing—watch out!). At the Laval Multi-Sports Complex, you can rent the court and rackets. It’s convenient.

Jumping into the void… without a parachute

Are you interested in skydiving, but… not really? Is what you’re looking for the thrill, the feeling of flying like a bird? Perfect—book a session at iFly Laval-Montréal. In an indoor free-fall simulator, you can make your dream come true in a safe environment. This is an activity you can enjoy alone, with a group, or with your family. Even little ones, ages 3 and up, can join in.
