I'm not a Ferris wheel fanatic. Neither is Jamie W. However, we decided to pay the C$35 per person…read morefee to ride in what fortuitously turned out to be a spacious private cabin suitable for up to eight people. There was barely a queue presumably because the price point was pretty high for just three rotations over twenty minutes. We decided to splurge since the nearby observation towers didn't appeal to us. The towers were targeted to families with kids. By contrast, the private cabin provided nice panoramic views primarily of the Old Port and the St Lawrence River (Photo 7). We subsequently secured better views from Kondiaronk Belvedere on top of Mount Royal. That's because the wheel reaches a height of just 200 feet. After disembarking, we had to walk through the cafe and gift shop to exit. RELATED - Exploring Montreal? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/HiASYr0QJ3

Hmmm, maybe a 3 star experience for me at best, but bumped up given that it's well-suited for kids…read moreand that it was a very reasonable price with our MTL pass. It's at a great location at the Old Port. It's effectively a large warehouse space with the labyrinth being made up of metal frames with vinyl barriers. You need to go to four station where you have your card punched before you can try and find the exit, with each station offering a bit of history of the city. We had purchased the MTL pass which gave us a choice of dozens of options to redeem (you need to look that up if visiting the city!). This hadn't been our first choice as we wanted to do a boat tour, but with that no working out, we found this. It wasn't the most elaborate or impressive thing, but it did still take a good hour to get through and the three kids with us (aged between 8-12) really enjoyed it. I didn't look up the prices, but it was a 'pink' activity from our pass which would've been about a $15 cost, and that was fair. I'd recommend it mostly just for those with kids, but with that in mind and it being in a great location, it's a good family option.

Even adults enjoyed this, although I got shot in the face at some point. They require shoes to be removed, so make sure you let younger kids go bare feet or wear grippy socks, since some areas can get slippery. My kids and I also enjoyed the slides and some arcade games, although the claw machines are kind of cheesy. Either way, this is a great choice if you want to let your kids go crazy and if you wish to release your inner child!

Since it was pretty rainy the days we visited Montreal, we took the niece to one of her favorite…read morespots: Funtropolis! Was it "trop fun?" Definitely for the niece. For HOURS, and I mean it, HOURS of fun and distraction for the kids, they basically run around in various areas: multiple level maze, shooting area, laser area, bumper cars, and arcade. The only areas that are extra costs are the bumper cars (which needed an extra ticket) and the arcade (which needed tokens). Since the niece was a certain age, the bumper car ticket was free, but only 1 ride. Before entering, you do put away all your jackets and shoes, so make sure you do wear some comfy socks that you know can get dirty. The bumper cars was about a song length in duration (~3-4 minutes). The bumper cars basically spin around every minute to shuffle folks. Then there are two levers to move the car, one to spin and the other to go forward and back. The niece is 6 and she easily figured out the controllers by herself. You also must be at least 5 for this activity. We didn't get to go into the laser area but we did step into one area where you can kind of do a whack-a-mole type of activity where there are 6 stations for each person to tap on squares on the wall that light up. The shooting area is more like foam balls and think American Gladiators where they have stations where you can put in a foam ball and shoot people on the floor. There are several arcade like machines with shooting games, rides, etc. Nothing too big or time consuming but definitely can keep kids wanting to keep spending money. Try to divert them to the active games. The multi-floor maze was where we spent most of our time. There are obstacles, zip lines, slides, trampolines, etc. Now the trampolines are small and there is a sign that says only 1 person at a time....some kids and even adults do not read this sign. The niece kind of told one adult that only 1 person can go in and he rolled her eyes at her. Wow. Some people don't know about safety. Now let's talk about safety. There's really no one regulating the areas. So it's trust your child to make sure they're safe. Yes a lot of the areas are padded. But it was pretty much....go at your own risk. I saw many kids sniffling, coughing, etc. I just wore my mask the whole time and just sanitized the heck out of my hands as I cannot get sick! Overall, if you're a kid, it's super fun. I chased the niece all over the place. I was sweating up a storm. I did it for a fraction of the time she was running around. Also if you're wanting your kids to be tuckered out, this is the place. On our way home, she was just quiet. Yeah, it tired her out that much. Super fun, but wish they had more cleaning staff or ensuring areas are safe to go into. I wish they had people manning the trampolines and ensuring folks only stay in for a certain amount of time. I know the niece ended up jumping for more than necessary and there ended up a line behind her so we had to ask her to move on so others could go. Either way, good fun time. A little screaming sensory overload. It definitely will give you an idea if you want kids of not lol!

My 9 year old was invited to a birthday party at the Funtropolis on Saturday…read more The policy is all children must be accompanied by at least one adult, and someone cannot exit and re-enter. Party package is $270 + tax for 8 children and 2 adults, with possibility of paying for additional guests. Tables are reserved for 3 1/2 hours. For people wanting to host a fun birthday event, it is well worth it, if you can afford. Party groups are held on the mezzanine floor with lots of seating available. Although they sell basic snacks, food and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed to be brought in from outside. The place is huge with lots of different activities, including giant spider web, slides, bumper cars and 4D 5 minute movies that will keep kids of all ages occupied for hours and hours. Bumber cars (one-time ride) is included in the birthday package, and could also be purchased separately. Bumper car rides are $4 + tax each ride, or $12 + tax for 4 rides. It can be somewhat noisy, with all the screaming of excitement, and a good way to burn all that energy. The place, including the washroom, looks reasonably clean, but too crowded, in my opinion. The number of people should have been limited. This is a perfect breeding place to catch an infection. While the entrance was rigidly monitored, exit was a different story, as any adult(s) can leave with a child.

We went there…read moreCanada day, tried calling, mailbox was full and they weren't answering, honestly I thought we'd have to go to plan B but to my surprise they were open. The place is as described in need of a little TLC, but it was clean and to be honest it was an amazing place to spend the day. My son played for 2 hrs before we headed out for lunch and then went back for another hour or so. It is by far the most entertained my 4 yrs old has ever been in a play center...lots of trades to try out. Reasonably priced...

I'll give this place 5 stars because it's way more entertaining for my son than the Montreal…read moreScience center as it's less reading and more wheels and cars. It does the job for a young child, so 5 stars it gets! Well my son visited this place when he was 2 and he's now almost 4 and he loved it even more the second time around! We spent I kid you not a good 5 hours here! This place isn't really a museum. It's not "educational" in the traditional sense although kids can learn by doing all sorts of things. The kids can go inside a fire truck, police car, rocket ship, weird cave, grocery store, school room, pet clinic, airplane, and there's a karaoke stage. Some useful tips here would be to 1) go with 2+ kids unless you want your kid begging you to cram into a rocket ship with him. It's always fun to spend time with your child but your child really wants to play and so you'll need to bring a play buddy. 2) bring snacks and water! They do NOT sell food but if you plan on staying longer than an hour or two, you might as well bring something to eat. They have a couple of sticky (yuck but whatever) picnic tables you can eat at in the front of the venue. Not amazing but gets the job done. Of course, you can always sneak in some food inside the venue but it isn't allowed. 3) Every hour they have a "show" which consists of weird acting done by French teenagers on the boat downstairs. As another yelper said, I could have gone without it. BUT, the icing on the cake is that during this show, everyone congregates downstairs and you get the whole place to yourself :) There's a lot of parking as it's not downtown, it's in Laval. Bathrooms were pretty clean which is a plus. Oh, and I went on a weekday I wouldn't dare go here on a weekend.

They provide you with a sugar liquid sponge to attract the butterflies. One thing to keep in mind is that you need to wear socks. If you don't bring any, you can purchase a pair there for around $2.00. Tickets can be purchased online, which is very convenient and makes planning your visit easier. There are also other activities available for an additional fee. The Mirror Trail is a short but fun mirror maze and a beautiful experience. There is also a tree-climbing area with different obstacles and a zip line. The tree-climbing and zip line activities require an additional fee, and the zip line can only be done once. There's a small area where you can buy drinks, snacks, and even bubble ice cream. Kids can also enjoy a slide and a play area with tunnels similar to the ones you find at McDonald's. Overall, it was a fun experience, especially for families with children. There are several activities to enjoy, so it's worth planning ahead and being aware that some of them have an additional cost.

So once you enter you walk through an area that is filled with live butterflies. They are flying around and also are on the floor resting so watch your step. Once you pass the butterfly staging area you enter a kids play area. The kids play area it's a huge playground with slides , ball pit and stuff for kids to climb on. The staff was nice and place was fairly clean. My son had a blast and I would definitely come back.

All I know, I saw many things that opened my eyes and no staff were anywhere in sight. I think I saw a pair of staff in the whole kid playing area of over 100+ kids and I was beside myself with all the children running everywhere with no monitors/parents in sight. 8+ kids in a small trampoline enclosure bouncing on each other, many kids crying all over the after sustaining a battle wound... and at one point 2 kids of about 3 years old running full throttle into each other while looking behind them... with the most fascinating meat smacking sound and car wreck in pieces on the floor afterwards. I tried hard not to laugh, it was comedy gold I tell you! Don't worry after a few tears they were running around as if nothing happened. Some places in here also smelled weird, with the occasional whiff being breathed in from some long lost tragedy that happened in this place. My mind wandered...what caused this smell? How long ago did it happen? Why am I still smelling this today? Did they survive the ordeal? So many questions... They also have an arcade and it's pretty ancient with the original NBA Jam from the early 90ies where most parents here today were around the age of the kids running around today. The biggest tragedy of this place though is that it still requires 4 tokens to play a full game. Insane! There's a small snack bar station for parents inclined to feed their child some fast food or more sugar for whatever reason. I came here for a birthday party, it was OK, it was free and got to hang with friends, so that was cool. I can see myself coming back here on day and not by choice. :)
