A week-end in Laval

Laval is known as an entertaining and dynamic city. It amazes us by the diversity and the impressive number of activities it offers, all within a radius of less than 5 km. 
 

Completely renovated and now adjacent to the Cosmodome, the brand new  Musée de la santé Armand-Frappier transports young and old into an exciting scientific world. 

The temporary exhibition renewed each year. 

• From your first steps in this room, we invite you to go on a real quest. Throughout the exhibition, you are offered to answer various questions. The different productions allow you to discover clues to help you answer them. Your answers are recorded on your electronic bracelet and this is what determines the success or failure of your mission at the end of your journey.  
   

The permanent exhibition is open for 10 years. 

• Until 2033, exposure 4, 3, 2, 1… Health! makes you discover 4 aspects of health: molecules and cells, individuals, populations and the planet. In this exhibition where fun and learning live in symbiosis, you are led to touch, test, listen and discover through interactive multimedia productions, a wall of animated projections, a life-size playful game and more. 
   

The laboratory  

Put on your lab coat to participate in a real laboratory experience! In this 45-minute workshop, you need to solve a health-related issue. A facilitator guides you through the scientific process while popularizing each step. Children love to put themselves in the shoes of a scientist, manipulate and experiment.  

Equipped with the most sophisticated Laser Tag system in North America, Zone 15  has nothing to envy to the others. On a surface of 9,500 square feet spread over two floors, we challenge you to face the opposing team in a totally crazy game. 

Then bring down the adrenaline with a 18-hole fluorescent mini-golf game. The intoxicating scenery will transport you to a world of unparalleled beauty.

If you still have energy left, racing simulators, various arcade games and a virtual reality arena await you.

4. Abseil  
5. Start over
