A host of activities take place there all winter long, including a visit from Santa Claus on December 16 and the famous DJ on ice evenings, which return starting January 11. You can also include a skating session as part of your New Year’s Day or Valentine’s Day plans. No skates? No problem! You can rent some on site.

Treat yourself to an immersive experience inspired by NASA missions! Until January 7, Space Explorers: The Infinite invites you aboard the International Space Station to experience your own journey into Space. Reviews are unanimous: it’s a dazzling virtual reality experience! Ready for lift-off? Visit the box office to book your place for this completely original activity taking place at the Montreal Science Centre.

Have a splendid meal on the water

This winter (starting December 15), the Bateau-Mouche cruise ship will remain docked in the Old Port’s Clock Tower Marina, but invites you on board to enjoy a delicious gourmet meal. This new (and oh-so-romantic!) offer is sure to charm couples. Several dinner options are available for foodies who wish to experience the city in a different way, by observing it from the water. A unique experience you won’t want to miss this season!
