What travelers are saying
- helenandpaul13Worcester, UK1,658 contributionsWent here for the light show. You need to book in advance and take the metro there. As you walk out of the station you turn right and go up the hill. The Dome is then in front of you. Everyone sits in a pew and the show takes place all around you but you are not allowed to photograph it. The show is about half an hour long, but although mum wanted to see it me and the little one were not impressedWritten April 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SMM24 contributionsOld Montreal is beautiful, and an absolute must for visitors. We wandered the beautiful stone streets and admired the architecture. There are a number of quaint shops and eateries available, and we stopped for a delicious cheesy crepe (that was served with crisp fresh salad) before exploring Marche Bonecours (a lovely market featuring hand made jewellery and items). Although it was cold when we visited (0 degrees), there are any number of warn cosy cafe to stop in for refreshment. It was a beautiful walk and lovely experience.Written March 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Would definitely recommend visitingWritten April 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ted M1 contributionThis write-up is very inaccurate, the Gardens are nowhere near the the little Italy neighborhood or the jean Talon marker, both are 45mins away via metro (train). Might as well say the Gardens are close to downtown lol .Written April 12, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dale WDavenport, IA148 contributionsOutstanding museum! A wide collection of art well presented. Recommend you plan for several hours to take it all in.

- Larry10803Pelham, NY200 contributionsLoved this market! So many options for fresh fruits, vegetables, prepared food, desserts, even flowers! Open air but covered market with a great variety of vendors. Underground and inexpensive parking is available. Also close to the Italian section if so inclined. Highly recommend!! If you enjoy going to markets do not miss this one.Written February 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Margaret DDuffus, UK62 contributionsI wasn't expecting to see so many animals in the biodome. I was thinking it would be like the Eden Project in Cornwall and be all plant based. However, the animals appeared to have plenty of space and be living in a suitable environment so it was enjoyable.Written April 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Luis FFalls Church, VA66 contributionsThe museum takes you to the underground original ruins of Montreal and how they were found. Bring you from the Native Indians that live in that area to the modern Montreal. You will work thur the excavations of the original city. It have a section for kids to learn about the history of Montreal with games.Written April 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amilcar GuzmanHarwood Heights, IL549 contributionsMy wife and I visited the Old Port during a trip to Montreal and loved it. This port is very similar to Chicago’s Navy Pier. Very nice!Written January 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Joanna WHoboken, NJ132 contributionsFun to walk and pop in to stores, be sure to read the history so you study the buildings and not just the art stores. Beautiful at night but more open during the day.Written February 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chloe ThomasRussell Springs, KY993 contributionsMy mother and I had looked forward to visiting the Barbie museum in Montreal for months leading up to our trip.
We were scared a few weeks before as it said temporarily closed, but did not stress as this seems to happen often and for short periods of time.
The expo is free and inside a shopping center, which can be a bit tricky to find if you are not familiar with the area. Admission is free.
We were amazed at all the Barbie’s. Each section was themed such as cultural, wedding, celebrity, fashion, and so on.
Some people could get through the expo in 15 minutes, but we probably spent an hour here admiring the beautiful dolls.
Great for all ages.Written November 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
