Family in Montreal

From screeching toddlers to sullen teenagers, the city’s got something to put a smile on everyone’s face. One thing about Montreal - it’s incredibly safe. Public transportation is easy to navigate, and you can send off your teens to roam around the city without fear. For the little ones, there are plenty of parks and playgrounds for them to run their little hearts out. For extra thrills, check out La Round, Montreal’s 46- year-old amusement park. In the winter, the wildlife at the Biodome and the dinosaur bones at the Redpath Museum are enough to impress the worldliest of six-year-olds. If you’re feeling brave, you can strap on skates and skip out to one of the city’s ice rinks for some casual gliding or Montreal-style hockey (pacifists beware!). The reward for this potentially frostbitten fun? A family trip to Juliette et Chocolat for a cup of traditional Belgian hot chocolate.
