The Old Port is the perfect place to spend family time together: there are tons of activities and fun to be had for everyone! Try an adventure in Voiles en Voiles’s aerial obstacle courses, explore the maze inside SOS Labyrinthe, or enjoy a river cruise aboard Le Petit Navire. Play pirate and look for a lost treasure with the new Bateau Fantôme activity presented by Navark. Or how about a friendly competition on two different courses at Mini-Putt Montréal? Tons of quality time with the family just waiting to be enjoyed!

Don’t miss these classic summertime experiences at the Old Port this year, like pedal boating and quadricycle rides with Écorécréo, famously wild rides on the St. Lawrence with Saute-Moutons or on jet skis with Aventures Wet Set Mtl, an immersive expedition back in time with Life Chronicles presented by Studio PHI, and for thrill seekers, the all-new Montréal Bungee experience, the highest urban bungee jump site in North America.
Then enjoy a meal or have a drink on the terrasse at Marché des Éclusiers or Les Eaux Douces or grab a quick and delicious bite at one of the food trucks, like Kwizinn, La Boîte à crèpes, Ice Crème Glacée and many more!

The Old Port will be livelier and more festive than ever this summer, with no less than 20 events lined up between June and September.
