Family fun this spring break: exciting challenges await at the Museum of Ingenuity J. Armand Bombardier

Unleash your creativity with thinkering challenges

This spring break, discover three thinkering challenges in the museum lobby, all designed to tap into your family’s intuition, creativity and ability to adapt prototypes. Build a shock-resistant tower, stop a vehicle in a specific area, and get a ball to hover at the right altitude. This interactive activity promotes teamwork and critical thinking, helping kids develop problem-solving skills and bring their ideas to life.

Explore an inspiring permanent exhibition

Continue your visit with All About Passion, a permanent exhibition dedicated to Joseph-Armand Bombardier, the renowned inventor whose impact on Quebec’s history extends far beyond Valcourt. The exhibition features an object theatre, a multimedia show, and an immersive experience. Learn about the evolution of the famous Ski-Doo® snowmobile, design your own vehicle of the future at the Idea Studio, uncover the story behind Montreal’s metro melody, explore a life-size model of Toronto’s Flexity streetcar, and even try a flight simulator. These interactive displays make the visit even more exciting, sparking curiosity and wonder in visitors of all ages.

Visit a temporary exhibition ending on March 15

Spring break is also your last chance to visit the temporary exhibition My Region, My Mobility, which ends on March 15, 2026.
