JARDIN BOTANIQUE DE MONTRÉAL

Botanical garden. City dwellers come here to recharge their batteries with fresh air and greenery. Thanks to its 75 hectares, this vast lung of the metropolis provides such a change of scenery that the visitor has the impression of strolling in the heart of China, or in a delicate Japanese garden. At the Maison de l'arbre Frédéric-Back, the great plant is honored in the heart of a 40-hectare Arboretum (scientific activities offered to the general public). At the First Nations Garden, every plant has its own utility, food and medicinal importance. Plan to spend a few hours on the site. Project in progress (2018-2023): installation of a phytotechnology trail with seven stations spread over the site (phytotechnology is a field of expertise that uses plants to solve environmental problems). Numerous activities and exhibitions are offered throughout the seasons. On-site services: restaurant, café-terrace, creamery and boutique.

Insectarium. The experience would not be complete without a visit to the Insectarium. The Insectarium is a place where you can learn about the world of insects and see the most beautiful specimens from the five continents, both naturalized and live. Important architectural and scenographic transformations have been made in the insectarium between 2019 and 2022. In addition to the immersive and educational museum tour, visitors will be able to enjoy sensory experiences and new encounters.
