Angrignon Park

Year-round family fun

3400 des Trinitaires Boulevard
(At de la Vérendrye)
Montreal, QC H4E 2J3
Canada
+1 514 872 3816

Located in the western suburb of Ville St-Pierre, this 265-acre park offers year-round open-air activities for the entire family. Summer means the Angrignon Farm, open daily from 10am-5pm, picnics, music festivals, sports tournaments, baseball and softball, cycling or just sitting under one of the shady trees and admiring the view. Winter brings its own outdoor activities, including cross-country skiing on three separate trails, tobogganing, snowshoeing and skating. As well, there is a winter carnival to help drive away those February blues.

Insectarium

Bugs galore 4581 Sherbrooke Street East
(Near Viau)
Montreal, QC H1X 2B2
Canada
+1 514 872 1400
http://www.ville.montreal.qc.c... Founded in 1990 by a passionate entomologist, this interpretative nature center and museum, the only one of its kind in North America, presents both preserved insect collections and live insects for viewing by the general public. They also have a spectacular live butterfly garden in the summer. For those with an adventurous spirit, try the insect tasting events held twice a year with a local chef preparing recipes that feature insects—this event is quickly becoming a Montreal institution.

Safari Park

A close look at animals 850 Route 202
(Near Route 219)
Montreal, QC J0L 1H0
Canada
+1 450 247 2727
http://www.parcsafari.com/ About a half-hour south of the city, just north of the US border, you will find, of all things, a park full of giraffes, elephants, leopards and other African transplants. Take your own car through the park or save your chrome and aerial from mischievous primates by riding in one of the park's buses. If the cheetahs leave the kids wanting more, take advantage of the elephant rides, a water park, mini golf and interactive games. This is a great family excursion.
