Laval is a multi-faceted island full of contrasts, where urban excitement meets natural tranquillity, and heritage neighbourhoods are just as inspiring as the downtown areas geared toward the future. The region captivates with a world of possibilities and one-of-a-kind attractions. A one-stop shop where you can journey to the outer reaches of space just as easily as you can step into a magically illuminated light show or enjoy a thrilling gravity-defying free-fall experience. With family or friends, a wild adventure always awaits.

In Laval, being on or around the water is a great way to experience nature and go beyond this island’s urban buzz. The Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles is the perfect place to rent a boat and venture out at your own pace into the largest protected wildlife area in the metropolitan region. If you’d rather keep both feet on the ground, the Centre d’interprétation de l’eau is offering a fun River Rally, the perfect activity for families who want to discover all the secrets of the Mille Îles and Des Prairies rivers. And for curious explorers, the Rivière-des-Prairies hydropower generating station is offering free visits full of surprises... and the perfect fishing spot!
