Enjoy family fun

At the heart of the frozen Lac Saint-Jean, the Village sur glace (ice village) in Roberval comes to life each winter. Colourful cabins, ice fishing, groomed trails and a festive atmosphere create a unique gathering place where the community embraces winter. People come to enjoy the fresh air, share a hot chocolate, skate at sunset, or simply admire the breathtaking scenery. An authentic winter experience, truly “Jeannois,” where nature and tradition meet. (Website in French only.)
 

Give your children memories that warm the heart! Sleep with the wolves at Parc Omega and be amazed by Oniro, a magical nighttime journey of light and sound that illuminates the snowy forest. Slide and play at the Centre touristique du Lac-Simon, enjoy the sweet treats at Miss Macaron, and end your stay at Ferme Cabriole, where young and old alike can discover life on the farm. Between nature, delicacies, and wonder, every moment becomes a story to tell—a perfect escape to reconnect the whole family with the magic of winter. 
 

This winter, get ready for scientific discoveries and playful explorations in Laval’s museums! Gather the kids and head to the Centre d’interprétation de l’eau to explore the permanent water-themed exhibition through a fun rally. Next, visit the Musée de la santé Armand-Frappier: put on your lab coats and explore the various health-focused exhibits, each featuring an interactive laboratory activity. Finally, set your sights on space at the Cosmodôme, where kids (and even parents!) will be inspired to explore the far reaches of the universe.
 

In Montérégie, winter fun comes in all forms! Outdoor enthusiasts will love cross-country skiing, fatbiking, and hiking in Parc national des Îles-de-Boucherville and Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno, while families will jump for joy (literally!) at Uplå, home to the largest outdoor trampoline in North America, set at the foot of Mont Saint-Grégoire. On the slopes, Mont-Rigaud and Ski Saint-Bruno offer great opportunities for beginners to try skiing or snowboarding. And for foodies, maple season promises to be especially sweet: Montérégie boasts the highest concentration of sugar shacks open to the public in the province.
