Rediscover winter at the Ecomuseum Zoo
Published on December 29, 2025 • Attractions to discover
When winter sets in, we often look for an activity that is out of the ordinary, beyond skating on the neighbourhood rink or taking a walk in the park. The Ecomuseum Zoo in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue offers a simple, authentic way to enjoy the season.
Zoo Ecomuseum
The Ecomuseum Zoo invites you to slow down and take the time to look around. Watch native wildlife in a winter setting that is as calming as it is surprising. Couples and families in the Greater Montréal area will enjoy this feel-good activity, especially those looking to reconnect with the natural world.
A holiday game to enhance the visit
This winter, the Zoo is offering a thematic activity designed for cold weather: A Holiday Tale: Pompon in Search of the Arctic Fox! Featuring a lighthearted story that adds a touch of whimsy to the visit, this activity leads visitors of all ages from one habitat to the next on a short winter quest. Observe the animals at a time of year when their behaviour changes with the plunging temperatures, and spot details that are less noticeable in summer. This activity is on until February 26, 2026.
An enticing admission fee
For many families, outings have to be easy and affordable. This winter, a 20% discount makes a visit to the Ecomuseum Zoo even more enticing. It’s the perfect opportunity to rediscover the Zoo without any pressure, on a morning or afternoon. Get some fresh air without having to travel far. You can even decide at the last minute, especially on a milder day. Easy parking and quick access from the West Island and Vaudreuil make the experience all the more enjoyable. Find all the information you need to plan your visit.
A unique experience: breakfast time at the Zoo
One of the more memorable activities at the Zoo is the opportunity to prepare the animals’ breakfast. After learning all kinds of fascinating facts about the species of the day and helping prepare their breakfast, follow an expert zoologist as they feed the animals, while getting a unique look at their behaviour and personality. It will give you a better understanding of the Zoo’s mission and its focus on species native to Quebec. Check the calendar for a breakfast activity featuring your favourite animal.
In winter, the Ecomuseum Zoo moves at a slower pace, in a different light, offering a closeness to wildlife rarely experienced. A simple, real and memorable outing that will remind you that the cold season can still hold surprises!
