Activities at the Roseraie

Things to do at the Parc

Parc Jean-Drapeau is enhancing and diversifying its program offering with a variety of creative, entertaining and educational activities that are free for the entire family. It's a great opportunity to have fun in nature and enjoy the green spaces and the gorgeous summer days.

Through this initiative, you will also be able to discover some of the lesser-known areas of the Parc, such as the Hélène-de-Champlain pavilion's garden. This magnificent place, which is steeped in history, is where the citizens' activities will be taking place during the 2024 summer season.

The Parc's team invites one and all to take part in the various activities at the Roseraie.
