Families

Families are important for the Museum, and we try to offer a varied range of original and creative activities for them. See our Calendar for details on current programs, and consult the Hours and rates section for all the details you need to organize your visit.

Don’t miss the interpreted tours, the Family exploRATion tour, annual events like the Port Symphonies, A Cultural Feast and the 18th-Century Public Market, seasonal activities like Jack O'Lantern: Halloween at Pointe-à-Callière and Who Is the Real Santa Claus?, and special activities organized for March break and lots more!

A few practical tips

We recommend that you use a traditional umbrella baby stroller in the Museum, as they are more convenient in the exhibition rooms and the archaeological remains. A baby carrier is also a practical choice.

In summer, you can bring a picnic and eat outdoors. You’ll find tables and benches at the Quays of the Old Port of Montréal. It’s an ideal spot for both locals and tourists to enjoy a break far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Museum’s restaurant, L'Arrivage, is also a pleasant place for an excellent meal.
