What to do in Montreal with Kids:
1. Visit Juliette et Chocolat
When visiting Montreal with kids, one of the first things that you should all do is indulge in a little chocolate at Juliette et Chocolat. While chocolate does seem to be everywhere in this quaint little restaurant, there are plenty of healthy options that are perfect for a complete breakfast or lunch as well. While we recommend the decadent hot chocolate, you may also want to consider ordering the tutti-frutti crepe souffle, Juliette’s Waldorf salad, and their extraordinary salted caramel brownies.
2. Visit Otaku Lounge for the Best in Manga
While Manga is not really a comic book, we haven’t met a kid yet that doesn’t love this twist of Japanese culture! The Otaku Lounge is a phenomenal café, bookstore, and reading room wrapped into one, which means that you can enjoy some quiet time while in Montreal with kids. There is a charge to hang out and read the books, but it is reasonable. Plus, with more than four thousand choices, there is at least one that is perfect for each person in your family.
3. Visit the Montreal Science Centre
This interactive science center will have everyone in your group longing for more, as you all venture from one exhibit to the next. From exploring the human body to building something amazing in the creative factory to learning about all things science, the Montreal Science Centre has it all! No one can possibly be bored with this Montreal tourist attraction for kids.
4. Visit the Montreal Botanical Garden
Not everything is inside in this city, which is perfect for those visiting Montreal with kids who want to be outside. The botanical garden has one hundred and eighty-five acres filled with thirty-four themed gardens. This is one of the most popular attractions in the city and there are plenty of special events held there throughout the year. During the winter, the grounds of the gardens are turned into cross country ski trails, which are perfect for getting kids of all ages tired out completely! If you are there at the right time of the year, you may also want to consider venturing over to the Parc Maisonneuve skating rink, which is right next door.
