Parc Jean-drapeau - Hiking

We really enjoyed our free Sunday Bixi Bike ride here! We arrived over one bridge and left on a another and visited the whole island, riding or walking. There are a lot of paths for both. There is art and a cute museum and the Biosphere which has a good exhibit outside even if you decide not to go into the main museum. Really pretty spot to hang out around the fountain/pool outside when it's sunny. A great view of the city from the island also. There is an amusement park if that's your thing as well. We had a lovely day and I recommend doing this either as a local or tourist.

I thought the park was fabulous at first.... BUT there are no bikes for rent!! Plus there is no signage to indicate where to walk for the bridge over the Habitat 67. And there are huge barricades to walk back around if you happen to go the wrong direction, easily adding 1km+ to your adventure. It does have a lot of information surrounding the biosphere on environmental challenges facing Canadian ecosystems which is important and in good repair.

Great park for families, teens, and kids. Needs at least a whole day to fully explore and experience. The best attractions in my opinion are those that successfully combine nature(outdoors) and modern fun, and this one more that fits the bill. It even has a water park, a theme park, a cultural site and my favourite part a climbing wall that falls directly into a pool (no harness/ ropes)!!!

Quiet and green oasis in bustling Montreal. Easily accessible by metro; the station brings you inside the park. There's also a viewing tower inside, which is shut at the moment for renovations (May 2019). Musical events are held there in spring and summer, which may prohibit general public access to all areas of the park. There's also a swimming pool in the park. Loos available.
