Parc Jean-Drapeau
Spanning two islands in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, Parc Jean-Drapeau is where fun happens – and not only because it’s home to the Montréal Casino and La Ronde amusement park! Come here for a riverside walk, to luxuriate on the grass with a picnic, relive history at Musée Stewart, learn about nature at the Biophere, and even dance the day away to electronic music. Best thing is, this four-season paradise is but a 20-minute metro ride from downtown Montréal.
Two islands, one park
Nature meets thrills at Parc Jean-Drapeau
Fun in the sun – and snow
Plunge into summer in the middle of the St. Lawrence at Parc Jean-Drapeau (spanning Île-Notre-Dame and Île Ste-Hélène) when the great green expanse rocks to Piknic Électronik, music festivals like Osheaga, an Olympic pool, the Formula One race and the La Ronde amusement park. But it doesn’t slow down for winter – play in the snow with the whole family at Fête des Neiges, or just snowshoe or cross-country ski around the miles of paths while gazing at Expo 67 pavilions and stunning panoramas of the river and the downtown skyline. The museums onsite stay open year in, year out, as does the festive Montréal Casino – which ensures this park never sleeps.
