They have two options available--rock and roll experience or a nature experience. I'm all about being in nature when possible so that was the natural choice of mine (no pun intended!), if I can't be outside, why not experience it inside? There's a few different rooms that you can go into on your own timeframe. The first one had rocking chairs which was lovely but then the rooms after that just had benches scattered throughout. Besides a few rude people having full fledged conversations in the middle of the experience, it was a lovely immersion experience.

I've been to a few immersive art exhibits in the last few years as they've gained popularity, but…read moreI'm often been underwhelmed by them. When in Montreal a few weeks ago, I had some time to kill my dinner reservation and just happened up on OASIS Immersion (when exploring Montreal's Underground City, I ended up in Palais des Congres, where OASIS is housed). I decided it seemed like a fun way to spend an hour or so before heading to my dinner. I'm glad I stopped by - the show I caught was definitely the best immersive art exhibit I've seen so far. I think they may offer different experiences on different days, but the show I caught was Nature Vive/Root for Nature. The Root for Nature immersive experience brings together several organizations committed to conservation and sustainable development, including the United Nations, the David Suzuki Foundation, the Workshops for biodiversity , the Age of Union Environmental Alliance, the Palais des congrès de Montréal, Tourisme Montréal, WSP and National Geographic. The Experience is produced and traveled by OASIS Immersive Studios in collaboration with National Geographic. The experience had some truly gorgeous nature and landscape photography (I especially loved the first and third galleries), and I found it inspiring and entertaining and well worth the cost of admission. Definitely a great activity for a bad weather day or if you have some time to kill when other things have/are closed!

Igloofest is one of my favorite music festivals I've been to. Artists are always incredible, and…read morethe vibes are great! Love seeing everyone come together in their ski/cold weather clothing and dancing to the music. Would recommend!

Great venue, too cold and more warm places to settle in would be nice. People here are friendly…read morealthough some may get drunk typically a bit and some only speak French basically. I would not suggest going alone if possible as I had to do that. I also had to get my ticket by buying a hotel package and could not buy a ticket separately from the IF site directly. I had wanted VIP and this was not an option for me by choosing a hotel package. IF took 2-2.5 weeks to respond to my email inquiry regarding this. It seems an app was an option but I didn't know what app I could download and if it would have been compatible usage within the US. Internet coverage was included to Canada w my plan but my data roaming auto-turned off and I could not figure out how to turn it on right away. I was also driving in the evening and I could not find a comfortable place to stop for awhile. I almost did not go but decided I needed to go as I was interested in both main stage artists and had my own edm outfit that I should've done a better job showcasing. Food options were decent and alcohol was easy to get. Bathroom access was okay . I think it was so cold that they should've opened up the dining areas on the other connected island and had TVs to watch the performances from inside the dining areas of that part of the Old Dock. The safe space would have been good here too. Providing this environment and resource helps encourage and maximizes diversity with race, sexuality, religion, and minimizes bias. There are recycling bins here and the culture here seem to make best efforts to follow. Many Americans would sadly see this as another trash bin. Montreal has a ton of TooGoodToGos including mini-supermarkets. The little contributions we can do to help sustainability can only help our world, and the culture seems to reflect this too. I wore double layers and it was enough for awhile. Some of the locals didn't seem to have more than a single layer and they seemed fine. Main stage artists did not have merch available to sell and side stage had a few things that I felt were over priced on top of my lack of interest. Some great beats and covers from the side stage though I am not a big fan of covers. Igloofest has some great sponsors and I like how they support some local French hotels too and not just the American standard ones. Some of the friendly people here, I do wish we could've bonded to be even friendlier . Not being able to speak French fluently didn't help. Too cold for Google Translate to be my constant friend and my juice almost ran out near fest end too. Maybe if I had put my reversible sequin jacket on earlier and had IF on it, this would have rocked everyone's world that much more. There was a free picture booth and a chance to win a free VIP package. I tried it later in the night, and a group of people get a picture(s) for free at the end. In my first take, one of the staffers got in the pic since it was just me. I kind of wish I had asked to keep it but maybe to ask if I win, that I would win a boyfriend too, lol. Alas, it was too cold for me to really think and the idea of being in a new area and being able to speak only minimal French (Je joue les echecs.) Maybe if I make my social media public, with all these pictures and certain tags, maybe something positive could come of that. The loneliness I felt here reminded me of a person who won the same type of award I did where he told me to carry my award around everywhere. Or online where some people pretend they want to meet you and purposely don't. The struggles I took to get here on my own ( 3 car dashboard warning signals all resolved after stopping on the side 3 times), product shipped under proper protocols that could not be done in the US, appreciating some food quality, drink, and a gym, all help culminate an independence for me to attend an event and the related prep and struggles all on my own.

The museum itself is kind of lacking in content and you'll probably spend less than 30 minutes. I definitely would have felt ripped off if I had paid the full admission fee vs the passport deal. In summary, the structure itself is really the best part and attraction, but it's okay just to admire it from the outside.

Everything is so fun to look at and read and learn, the views at the top are also very nice with comfortable couches to just sit relax and enjoy. I loved reading about the history of the building as well as walking through the small garden area. What's also nice about this place is that there isn't many people so you can enjoy at a leisure pace and peacefully. This is an instant add to my list of recommendations for people visiting the city.

The fam and I dropped in here early afternoon on Valentines day, and the museum was not as busy as…read moreI was expecting (thankfully). It did take some time to inquire about admission at the desk as there was only one attendant working. We were visiting from Ottawa, and hold a Science museum pass, which gave us free admission here upon showing our membership and I.D. Otherwise, it would cost around $120.00 for the four of us (2 kids, 2 adults). Note that it is $25.00 for parking on site. We only saw two attendants throughout our whole time there. No staff on the floor. One to gain admission, and another to check out tickets further down. Both interactions with staff were to the point, and they were able to communicate in English. When we did get our tickets scanned for entry, we asked the attendant about food options on site (which was only a coffee shop, on the main floor). Interaction was very blunt, and to the point, and the attendant went back looking down at her phone. Super unprofessional. The museum itself was very interactive, but much smaller than I expected Maybe I missed parts of the museum, but we were able to get through within an hour. The kids seemed to have fun. It is definitely geared for kids to run around and explore. We did notice a slime room? but it was closed and locked up. There is a small playroom for ages 0-7 to roam safely. The museum was fine, but I would not run back.

Worth the entrance price!…read more An incredible number of interactive and informative displays. Some quite humorous in a playful way. Great for school kids. The dinosaur section has a hands-on " paleontology " dig. The very wide screen display has dinosaur that seems to know someone is in front of them. Maybe it's my imagination, but I watched it for about 10 minutes, it would stalk me when I was right in front of it. Spooky. We enjoyed it. And, it's not our first museum visit.

This arcade was SO much fun! The main things we loved about the arcade include:…read more- they charge a one time cover charge per person which allows you to play all the games at the arcade for free! This is almost unheard of at other game arcades where they make you pay for tokens to play each game individually-- and we really enjoyed paying upfront and playing freely without having to worry about charges! - the variety of games-- they had so many game consoles (Nintendo 64, Nintendo switch, Game cube) and retro arcade games (pacman, street fighter, mortal kombat) - we spent a few hours here and didn't even notice the time flying by because of how much fun we were having! Absolutely loved being able to play games from childhood and reveling in the nostalgia! - The non-alcoholic drink options-- my fiancee and I do not drink, and we were glad to see non-alcoholic options on the menu for us to enjoy! Overall: HIGHLY recommend this arcade to anyone looking to have nostalgic fun in Montreal!

The one time I would say "I highly recommend this place"…read more Without a single reservation. There are two dining options; an inner courtyard to dine, with that outdoor feeling, where the live music is heard, and a sidewalk cafe venue. Live piano combo music. They segue from one song to the next, seamlessly. You know, this isn't their "first rodeo". The menu has in alphabetical order: American, Canadian, French, Hawaiian, Italian, and Tex-Mex. It may sound impossible to accomplish in one kitchen, but they've done it exceptionally well! We tried three of 6. Each of us was very happy. The servers have mastered Continental service, it's a pleasure to dine there. We inquired how large the small pitcher of sangria was? Enough for two people? She said it would give us about two glasses a piece. Perfect. It wasn't all fruit or cheap wine. If we lived in the neighborhood, we'd be there a few times a month until we tried everything on the menu; then start all over again! It has a certain romantic atmosphere to it; it's also an excellent value compared to some of the places we ate. That is how impressed we were. The food is superb, just enough so there's room for dessert and coffee if you like. One minor complaint: washrooms in most restaurants are either 40 feet above the main floor or below it. =(
