Jacques-Cartier Pier — Attraction in Montreal

Family Visit to Jacques Cartier Pier on a Cold Spring Day

Our trip to Jacques Cartier Pier was a memorable experience! Despite visiting on a very cold and windy spring day, the kids had a fantastic time.

We enjoyed strolling through several stalls where there were shopping opportunities. One of the highlights was going on the big wheel, which gave us an incredible view of the city — definitely worth it! The pier also offers zip lining and bungee jumping, but because of the chilly weather, we decided to skip those activities this time.

Instead, we visited the nearby Science Centre, and the kids absolutely loved it. It’s a wonderful spot for families, offering interactive exhibits and lots of engaging activities. We also had lunch at the Science Centre’s café, which had a nice selection of wraps, sandwiches, and salads — perfect for a casual meal.

Even though the weather wasn’t ideal, we made the most of our day and created some great family memories. I would definitely recommend a visit to Jacques Cartier Pier — just check the forecast beforehand if you’re planning...

Close by are many amenities including water fountains, toilets and restaurants. There is also a small market, a play park and a place to rent pedlos. You can also catch ferries across to the bio sphere from a dock nearby. This place may look small but you could...

One star because there’s no the option for 0. Stuff doesn’t care about you, they don’t give you a spoon to eat the onion soup, I had to eat it with a fork that I had to ask twice to get it. Not very fresh the cheesy garlic bread, which wasn’t even cheesy and the bread tasted very old. The poutine even worse of my life, I thought by coming here I could have experienced the real poutine, I was wrong. Costco poutine in Toronto is better and it is even cheaper. STAY AWAY AND...
