Children playing in a large indoor play structure

A rainy day in the Laurentians is not a lost day! From Blainville to Saint-Sauveur, through Saint-Jérôme, Boisbriand and Mirabel, the region is full of indoor activities to keep the kids (and the parents) busy. We have gathered the best ones, with the address, the ages and the link to each place.

In short: to burn off energy, go for trampolines and play centres; for a calm outing, try a museum or ceramic painting; with teens, escape rooms and climbing are winners.

Our tips for a great day

  • Book online on rainy weekends: play centres fill up fast.
  • Bring grip socks for trampolines and play structures.
  • Combine two nearby activities: for example, Mégamaze and Encore Éco in Saint-Jérôme, or the two museums in Saint-Sauveur.
  • Always check the hours on the official website before you go: they change with the seasons.
