I spent hours at Nature Center with my wife and two teenage kids. We had an awesome time there. The environment was peaceful, clean, and enchanted. We couldn't help marveling at its beauty. My favorite place was the greenhouse. That was the highlight of my visit. I felt like I was in a tropical country. Also, the staff was friendly and ready to help. What a wonderful world to visit!

It is a big and beautiful park with full of activies for everyone. It has lots of shade and picnic areas. Kids can enjoy large playground, water plash, farm, pony riding, little train-train ride, kayak.

This park is a haven for families seeking outdoor fun. With full amenities, this park offers everything from picnic areas to playgrounds, mini-zoo, horticulture grounds, indeed a lovely experience for all age groups. The expansive stroll areas invite leisurely walks, allowing families and kids to enjoy the beauty of nature. During fall, the park transforms into a kaleidoscope of colours. A plus is you can get yourself a hot coffee or ice cream in that cute tiny cafe nestled in the heart of the park. Note: Free parking if you are a resident of Laval. 😊 But really hard to get a parking space during a fair-weather weekend.

The park is aesthetically pleasing, particularly during the summer season. It is a sizable park that offers a variety of activities throughout. It is an ideal location for families and friends to gather and enjoy the outdoors.

Very nice garden and park near Montreal. No admission fee, totally worth going, either for a walk or bring kids there for fun. There’s a mini farm, a small lake , and other facilities. I came here on Halloween weekend. Nice decorations!

Very big and beautiful park to visit! I spent the entire day and loved every second of it. You can walk around the park and you’ll find surprises all around. It will make your grandma, your kid and your uncle happy. Don’t sleep on this place!

This place is simply amazing... It's so beautiful and the staff is lovely... Animals are adorable and the goats are so well trained. I adore the fact that you could pet different animal in their habitats. In addition, the flowers and the bridge were amazing! Beautiful place to go in family or with your partner!

I loved discovering Mars though the virtual mission. This is about one hour interactive mission. My kids loved that they had to use their bracelets to start the games. Afterwards at the exposition section, there are still some interactive stations. There is a lot of reading too. Next time we come, the kids want to try the simulators. It's a great activity and learn about the planets and solar system.

Very informative and very interactive space museum. Suggest to take a bracelet to track activities done and missing to ensure you maximize the experience. The use of the tablets and screens are required to participate in the activities, so young kids and older people may struggle in some activities. Unfortunately as we went on a weekday, the staff informed us that they weren’t operating the lower level of the museum where the shuttle replica is. No activity accessible. They informed us after we enquired to return on a weekend when animators are running activities. This of course disappointed our crew: ticket prices are the same weekday and weekends. We truly enjoyed the moon virtual mission. It was easy to follow and the duration (approximately one hour) was perfect for a group of 5-75 years old. It’s a better value to take the combo ticket with the health museum ( collocated) to do a space mission and health lab activity).

The Cosmodome is a cool place to bring kids — especially if they’re into space, planets, and astronauts. It’s interactive, educational, and does a good job of sparking curiosity about space travel and the solar system. The exhibits are visually engaging, and the themed missions offer a fun experience for younger visitors. That said, the space itself is surprisingly small. You can get through the exhibits fairly quickly, and aside from the missions and simulator experiences, there’s not much else to explore. It felt more like a specialized exhibit than a full-scale science center or museum. If you’re planning to visit, it’s best for younger children, maybe ages 5–12. Teens or adults may find it a bit underwhelming unless they’re doing one of the more in-depth mission activities. It’s a fun visit for an hour or two, but don’t expect to spend the whole day here.

My kid was too young (4 yo) to do all the exposition and activities, will be more worth it in a couple of years. (Mostly for the spatial simulator) Will return in 3 years, so we'll enjoy it more 😀

Very nice for older kids or adults but not really for smaller kids. Some rare artefacts like a piece of the moon (see my picture here).

Less exhibits and boring activity for adults.suggest to upgrade those to even entertain adults.

A must-visit experience for space lovers! The Cosmodome is an incredible place that brings space exploration to life. The exhibits are interactive, fun, and educational, perfect for both kids and adults. The simulators and missions make you feel like a real astronaut, and the staff are passionate and engaging, always ready to explain and inspire. Everything is well organized, clean, and easy to navigate. It’s one of those rare places where you learn while having a great time. Whether you come as a family or just want to reconnect with your inner explorer, the Cosmodome is absolutely worth the visit!

Saw very intimate show from Marie-Pierre Arthur. It was so nice.

Horrible Experiance at concert when I was refused to have coat checked in with explanation that cloakroom was reserved for special group. Disgrace

Went to see a comedy show and the place is nice, cozy, has a little bar, overall great. The parking is very unorganized at the end of the show getting out was long and chaotic. Overall nice place.

Attended the openworld videogame music concert. Social distancing was in full effect and the place was not packed. Very happy with the show and how they handled things.

Parking, parking - Laval you are terrible in managing traffic and bar closed once the show starts - but the show was great Corneille

Great venue place, close to the subway. Good option when the venue you want to see is sold out in Montreal. You can take you to drink from their bar inside, while listening to your concert, beat!

It's a nice intimate auditorium. The seating is a bit tight and there is no aisle in the front section so if you're in the niddle it can be awkward. The lobby is a bit small for the capacity of the hall. Nice acoustics though, and it was renovated in the last few years.

Great outdoor experience at centropolis this evening, good live music, good dj and excellent ambiance. A Saturday summer evening we'll spent.

We enjoyed a show at Place Bell and decided to go for a drink away from the 10000 people leaving the site. Drove for 5 minutes and found this square. What an amazing find! Full of restaurants, music and atmosphere. Definitely going back.

Centropolis, is a outlet style stripe boardwalk. Many resturants to tap into with many stores near by. You can come by foot, bus or car. 5 minutes away from cinema. If you have never been there is great to explore at night during the summer.

Illumi 2019- Laval ... Amazing experience ... Winter was little tough as to complete whole circuit it would take over 4 hours and with kids outside in windchill of -22 for 4 hours is bit harsh .. but in all was fun kids loved we loved ... It will take roughly 5 hours to enjoy each section and having out in cold for 5hours with windchill, please dress well..... Everyone should visit to help city of laval raise money for its development

Mark it down,this is the center of action in Laval. The place is well planned and developed as the centre of experience in gastronomy, entertainment, shopping and events. Come to here to meet friends, celebrate a special event in life or anything, you will not disappoint. This is a place for memory and happiness. I have mine as soon as I walked out from my parked car. You feel the international vibe. My occasion is to get myself out from the pandemic lock down, to be free again after vaccination, to celebrate reopening. Really feel great having a dinner, visited a desert place, walked around, sit on a bench and enjoyed the happiness of others.

Very large shopping area. Parking can be difficult when busy. Very nice restaurants and stores.

BUBBLE DOME / STARLIT TERRACE CENTROPOLIS, LAVAL It’s always interesting to try new concepts and this was a fun idea and night out with the family. Our reservation was with Enoteca Monza in Centropolis, Laval. Only some restaurants participate every year and each night is dedicated to one of those participating restaurants. I believe there are 3 domes in total. Reservations must be made months in advance. However, it is always good to check regularly as I happened to land a reservation 3 days before the dinner (a cancellation no doubt). We ordered our food online ahead of time with a mention that the reservation was for ‘the bubble dome/starlit terrace seating’. We checked in at the restaurant 15 minutes before our reservation and were then escorted to one of the outside domes. We settled in while our waitress went back to get our order (it’s basically take-out with a twist 😊). We weren’t sure what to expect as it was freezing outside. The dome had heaters and music to boot. We were more than comfortable (without outerwear) and enjoyed our ‘outdoor meal’ all the while watching people stroll in the cold outside. I definitely recommend that you try this once. Note, they require a minimum of 4 people. The table seats 6 for sure (maybe 8?) There are no extra fees to eat in the dome.

Went on a rainy Sunday, we received gift certificates to go. There is lots of parking, they store your coats and bags in a bin. The kids absolutely loved it, (1 and 3 year old) there was a lot for them to do. They especially enjoyed climbing in the ambulance and police car, the restaurant and the stage with microphone. They did not want to leave! I took off two stars because as many others have mentioned, the place needs a big clean up, it’s so dusty everywhere, and very out of date. Some maintenance and updates are seriously needed. People would most likely return if it was cleaner and maintained properly. Although my kids had fun, I did not enjoy seeing them crawl through dusty steps and play with rundown or broken toys. Therefore we most likely will not return.

Two-level play place for kids to discover various careers and worksites. Keep in mind the name can be misleading: it is a playplace for pretend play, it isn’t a museum where kids can learn about the different workplaces, there is no guide no passport to stamp at each station etc. Kids roam around to pretend play at the grocery store, at the police station, on boat, at the construction site etc. It could be pertinent to have a challenge per station or a stamp, or have an actor to mime an activity. Shoutout for doing face painting. Staff in the play area is friendly. Lots of toilets and handwashing stations. No wipes provided for frequently touched surfaces (eg microphone passed from kids to kids on which they’re tempted to put the lips on…). As mentioned by others, the play place needs a serious deep clean. At the price paid per person (28$/kid and 12$/adult!) we expected cleaner and more interactive. No credit card accepted: cash or Interac

What a beautiful place, ideal for children to have a magical experience. My baby is only 15 months old and enjoyed it very much, but I think kids ages 2 and up enjoy it even more. The facilities are very clean and their staff is nice.

This review is going to be very short - If you are looking for a Fun Activity for your child/children aged from 18 months up to 8 years old, this place is for YOU!!! So many acticities to do and enjoy!!! I highly recommend!!!

Incredible experience! Such a fun spot for children to play and get a chance to interact with everyday things independently, ex. Grocery shopping, filling the car with gas, farming etc. Most museums are all reading with very little interactive displays. This museum is all interactive and children will easily be entertained for an afternoon. Though there isn't much informational material provided, it can be explained with general knowledge from the parent and didn't take away from the educational aspect. Will be recommending to everyone I know that is travelling to the vicinity!

What a fun place. Great for young kids to explore different role playing environments. Super clean and really well supervised. The staff were all very nice and attentive. Will definitely come back, a great way to spend a morning

Did my kid’s birthday party and there was amazing. Kids were happy parents also. Staff were so welcoming. Very recommended.

Kayaking for the first time is a thrilling mix of excitement and tranquility. Once you get the hang of balancing and paddling, gliding through the water feels incredibly rewarding. The close connection to nature, from spotting wildlife to enjoying peaceful views, makes it a memorable adventure. While there’s a bit of a learning curve, the freedom and satisfaction you feel on the water make kayaking an experience worth trying again.

It's a beautiful place for nature lovers. I went there by my car but is also accessible by bus. If you like nature then highly recommend it. There are several options from kayak to paddle boards and boat for one to use. the water and scene there is amazing! Don’t forget your sun care lotion and bug sprays.

This is one of the beautiful places for the nature lovers to simply get lost in a beautiful nature very close to the hectic urban centers.. If you enjoy Kayaking or Canoeing, this place is for you...Either rent one or bring your own, and go explore many islands that surrounds you. Most of the islands have picnic tables and Washrooms, so you can basically enjoy a day out with friends or families.... Also it is very pleasant place to fish ...

Great place for nature lovers, great rental service and nice staff. There’s kayak, paddle boards, canoeing and more. The prices are affordable too. There’s tables and benches for families, and there’s a café too! Worth checking out

Beautiful park for kayak lovers Or zen moments lovers. Lovely place to take a moment and breathe fresh air, walking around the lake or reading a book. Beautiful.

Amazing rental service, wonderful staff. They do not do reservations, but don’t worry because they will not run out of equipment. I recommend coming early, before noon on weekends because they get busy. There’s not much parking on site but you can go to side streets. The time of rental starts when you pay so that’s how they calculate it. Overall amazing

Laval has this amazing landscape to enjoy. Go rent a Kayak, a paddle board or a canoe. They are taking great measures regarding de covid and you'll benefit from a magnificent day with family. Parking lots, picnic tables and more. Absolutely gorgeous!
