The Zoo Ecomuseum in Montreal is ethical and environmentally responsible. It showcases Quebec wildlife while prioritizing animal welfare. It hosts animals that cannot be reintroduced into a natural environment for various reasons. Awareness, education and preservation are at the heart of their mission.

Red foxes, snowy owl, river otters, wolves, deer, bald eagles, turtles, owls, snakes, bears, fish and many types of frogs will make everyone happy. 

Good to know:  

It is the only outdoor zoo on the island of Montreal 

You must reserve. There are still a few seats left for the free Sunday of November 6, 2022.

I have a little nostalgia since I went there a few times as a child with my father. Even if I did not have the interest to read and receive all the available information, there were still several elements that aroused my interest, which knew how to awaken me and propel my imagination towards new horizons.

Currently, there are exhibitions on Egypt, indigenous culture and two youth exhibitions (curiosity - observation by the senses and another on the house - the daily life that becomes extraordinary)

Thanks to the Cosmodome located in Laval, space exploration will have no secrets for your children. Well, maybe not, but they’ll learn a lot by becoming astronaut apprentices.

This immersive universe will surely fascinate them and awaken them to the vastness of space. Maybe the passion for space exploration will take over your little ones.  

Good to know: For the free Sunday of November 6, 2022, online reservations are full, but it's possible to arrive early at the Cosmodome and hope to get a seat available without reservation. Good luck to you.

Inspiring, marvelling and making nature and science accessible is the goal of the Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science.

One of his exhibitions of the moment allows to make unusual encounters with hundreds of naturalized animals. It allows us to observe them in detail.

Another exhibition offers a multimedia experience to cross in fields of molten lava, to observe the drift of continents, to see the creation of lakes and rivers, etc. What to change the eyes of your children on the landscapes surrounding us.

Another exhibition for the 10 years and over focuses on archaeology and criminal investigations.

Address: 225 Rue Frontenac, Sherbrooke
