Reviews of Centre de la Nature (Zoo)

Ira Kolo

The parking is only for people who lives in laval but you can park in the street. Was there for 15 min but found it very beautiful place! Big garden makes you feel like Jardin botanique. Love it.

Been there many times; I like the parc a lot it is a nice place to relax. in this time of the year it did not recover yet from harsh winter we had. The maintenance crew have a lot to do to give it back it's nice spring & summer look.

Jianshu Cui

If you live in Laval, this is the best family park you can spend with your loved ones on weekends. So many kids activities(mini zoo, little train, pony ride, kids playground, etc) They have environmental protection themed lecture and display, very educational. Not to mention themed festivals all year round!

Gautier la

Very nice place to visit with kids. Lots of playground and activities available. You can even rent kayak and canoe for a tour on the small lake. The flowers and trees all around the parc are really nice. lots of picnic tables. the is also a cantine, but don't expect to get really healthy food. they serve burgers and poutine... Parking available for 8$.

khal flavian

Joe Abdo

Great place to relax walk bike picnic and others... The little restaurant there is a little bit expensive.

Cynthia De Sua

Great place for a relaxing walk on a beautiful summer night. Bring the kids to see the farm animals.

Anthony Gianfrancesco

Looking for some fresh air? Outdoor activities? Want to see some farm animals? Or go swimming ? Perhaps you'd like to toboggan down a hill. Or sit on a park bench by a large pool of water with fishes and geese or ducks in and around. This is the place to go in laval.

Mohamed Osso

Really a good place to visit especially for families, relaxing, a lake some animals green space... and safe for covid 19

Hadjer Aoufi

Wonderful place very relaxing, and natural

Google Knish

Great place to take your loved ones to. Especially children.

Hannah

Pretty busy place when i went but definitely still a nice escape for people who live in the city. Free parking for 5 hours next to the baseball diamond which is nice. The nice guy in the greenhouse was eager to tell me about the types of birds and koi fish. Beautiful willow trees and pond area as well

Laura D

The park in the summer looks like something out of a Monet painting and in the winter, is a quiet, magical destination to go for a walk and play. Parking is free for Carte Avantage holders in Laval, but there are also tons of street parking on location. It's a wonderful community meeting point and it's gratefully free! There is also a playground for children, a small farm area where you can see animals, and an abundance of picnic tables in the summer.

Rekt GG

One of the few places I enjoyed the most, it had many fun activities. You have the choice of going ice skating, where you have to bring your own skates. There is also a small farm where you can see alot of animals including pigs, rabbits, cats, horses, peacocks, and cows. There are also trails to go around the whole park aswell as a cross country skiing trail.

yu chiao Liao

Beautiful park for family.

Monique Champagne

Only locals are allowed to park at the facility, even though they may live nearby. Visitors from other locations are allowed in, but we're not allowed to park at the facility, even though we spend our money just as the locals would. It makes no sense to me. The park itself was beautiful but it was such a hassle, I doubt I'll be going back.

omosama ibrahim

Very nice

Def Explicit

Fun place to take a walk and enjoy the nature

Lucy Rodriguez Munoz

Lovely place for waking , having fun and connecting with mother nature any time of the year.

Jonathan Massot

Great place to spend some time with kids. The lake is nice with huge fishes. You can rent a kayak or canoe to leisure on it. But do it soon, there might be a 2 hours queue before.. huge kids amusement park with soft ground. Small farm to check on some animals and there's a carousel for kids to ride horses.

Fraidoon Nazari

It is a park with everything like, flowers, playgrounds, hills, sports grounds, man made lake with beautiful fishes, small zoo, etc. the good thing, parking is reserved for Laval residents.

Angel Gebs

This is a spacious park that is full of nice views. It is a great place for families and kids to gather. There are picnic areas. There is a little farm. There are small water activities. Overall, it has a calm and relaxing atmosphere to it.

pHAMBURGLARq

What a fantastic place to bring your kids. Small farm full of animals completely free. Restaurant Is waaaaaaayyyyyyy over priced but this place was made for picnicking anyways. The park is large and clean. Lots of swings and lots water fountains to keep you hydrated. Had a blast. My son and I will be renting a canoe next time we go.

Alex N

Currently end of August, the flower beds are well prepared. There's a koi pond, horticulture is very diverse, interesting wooden structures and bridges. Worth taking some time to walk around

Claudia

Superbly serene among spectacular colors. This mini botanical park does not disappoint. Try going a little earlier than most and the weekday is best if that's suitable. Parking can usually be found without too much trouble.

Eddy chalhoub

The best place for the kids amusement the only new procedure now in COVID you need to reserve your place online for the activity by creating account on ville de laval site and the places are limited so you need to reserve in advanced

Massiel GB

I went for the first time with family. It's a great place for family outings. There's an extensive playground for children of all ages. There's also a beautiful pond and gardens. Beautiful grounds nicely kept, and plenty of space for picnics. Plus there's a small petting zoo for the little ones.

E BelloT

Great family place, clean and with many cheap cost activities to enjoy with the kids (pedalo, canoe, poney carrousel, train, climb). The waterpark it's free and usually it's open til 7-8pm. It has a nice obstacle jumping thing but only til 4pm 5 trampolines and 1 slide but summer 2019 was broken so it was close. You have pic nic tables but not food allowed in the pool area thu only on the water play ground for toddler. Perfect to spend the whole day walking, grab something to eat, swim and rest. There's also a casse-croûte with several choices and really affordable prices it has lunch, breakfast, deserts, drinks you name it. The most of this park is that it has a lovely "little town" just for kids it's so cute and kids will love it: train station, church, police station, clinic, house is all kids size and there's some games you can borrow for Free!!! There's also a free parking! ** Be aware sometimes the park it's closed due to some kind of events so it might be frustrating and disappointing arriving there and realizing not all the park has access so check before you go. Have fun!

Cosmin Jelea

Great place to visit any time of year. Lots of activities and even festivals in the summer. In winter the fairly large pond turns into a skating rink. Always a good time here, whether you bring the kids or not. There's a fun little village up the hill and even an animal farm.

David Ceber

This park is a little surprising. Really worth visiting with the kids and only 30 minutes from DDO.

Humaira Almas

Awesome place to see and enjoy the whole day with nature

Kevin Yo

It's spacious, wide and there's many things to explore. I enjoyed skiing around. Would go back.

Suhana Dharshan

Very beautiful place.... my kids enjoyed alot

Richard Reynoso

It was lovely. Had a great time with the family at the pool.

Olivier Mc Laughlin

Amazing park! The trees and the lake/pond looks amazing!

Ana Costa

An oasis in Laval. Beautiful huge park with activities for all and all year long. Go enjoy it and remember to please continue to keep the park clean.no littering.

Celine Ho

During covid-19, water equipment rental not available and playground section is surrounded by tall metal fences. There is a hand washing station before going into the play area and watched by 2 people. We went for an evening picnic with friends by the water. Parc is very well maintained with beautiful flowers and decoration and can still see some of the farm animals.

Florian Buder

The park is beautiful to take a walk. The kids usually love the visit of the farm (free) with its horses, pony rides (fee applies), pigs, birds, peacocks and the greenhouse with its birds and fishes. Ice skating, bob sledding, tobogganing and cross country skiing in winter is possible.

Giulio Navarroli

The most popular park in Laval. With multiple activities ranging from canoeing in the summer to ice skating in the winter, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Birders will enjoy the vast amount of bird species that call this place home. A small "farm" is available for the public to visit which contains all the classic farm animals. If animals aren't your thing, botany is also a prominent aspect in this park with beautiful arrangements of flowers and trees every summer with greenhouses housing more plants to compliment this.

Divya Srivastava

beautiful park for picnic with family. Specially this park is good for kids. Play ground area, small farm with 8-10 varieties of animals, paddle boating( Its closed due to covid) & a lovely lake with lots of colourful fishes.

TheGreatFirebolt

Easily most beautiful park I've ever seen

Martin Wiedenhoff

Christmas ???? market today was amazing with hot chocolate, Syrian food, wine, churros, etc Much better than Atwater where you queue for entrance and have to look for parking. Lovely staff and gear DJ

Bach 34

In this moment of fall season the nature start to change its colors in magnificently landscape.

Jonathan Fuentes

Beautiful place to bring the family for picnic or just a walk , different activities to do , we have fun bringing out little boy to see the animals , cos there is a small farm they have and is fun , animals seem well treated

Mariam Abbasi

Nice park, wish the parking was more accessible and that they allowed bbqs

Florin Gheorghe

The Cameroun community, around 50 people made a lot of noise all day even it was not aloud it, nobody warned them.

Belol Nasim

Beautiful park to walk through. Lots of places to take photos. Nice and clean as well.

Imran Chowdhury

Great place,it's definetely beautiful with a lot of animals you can abuse verbally but however how beautiful it is.It feels as though there isn't very much to do.The only thing I remember doing is buying ice cream and walking alot, but eventhough I have pointed quite a few negatives, i still think it's quite a nice place to visit and the ducks are funny.

Hoover Tom

Very nice park to visit! We have a good picnic there!

Philippe Cloutier

Beautiful park. There's a possibility to do cayak, canoë or "pédaleau" in the very smalk lake. You can do geocaching there, but it is not very well organized in my opinion.

Abdul Hakkeem

It's good park for all ages. Having activities like train ride, kayak, pedal boat, pony carousel, cycling path, flower park, etc. Parking available. Benches are there for having lunch. Really a good spot for a picnic.

Aaron Oh

one of the best places in Laval.

Jovanne Millanes

What a beautiful nature. It's still in a developing phase but, you have to see it for yourself.

Yunpeng Fan

Parc is bigger than what I thought. Lots of married people decide to take pictures here. Flowers, Animals and the lake. Nice place either for a walk or family sport here. Don't forget to get a Laval Advantage card before you go there. You can save some money on parking.

lulu diab

Amazing place, wonderful

MARIA THERESA D'ALMEIDA GOUVEIA

Only one complaint of this place is when employees get around in their carts they bring all the dust up and it's very unpleasant. Saw a lady pushing her baby carriage and the dust went all in the stroller. We get all the dust in our food in the picnic area. Better stay away from those paths.

Viktor Arborstone

Great park, kept clean and enjoyable for all ages. Normally many amenities, farm animals, kids zones and etc.

Terry Helliker

We went for the 5k Candy Run. It was our first visit here and it won’t be our last. Such a beautifully well maintained area. A great spot for picture taking too! Ample parking and lots to do. Grab your camera and go spend some time at Centre de la Nature. It’s worth it!

Paco Bordeleau

Pleasant for everyone. Loved the animals

Cindy Léandre

The kids love it. Nice place to have your kids play in the game and visit a small farm.

Francis Bisson

Went there with my 3 year old daughter and she loved it! The whole park is constantly being worked on and you can take amazing pictures with the little ones. There's also a small animal arm for children to look at which we obviously couldn't go to because of the ongoing pandemic!

Joury Younes

Love love love this place. Great activities: swimming pool, splash pad, farm, 2 play area for toddlers and children, train ride, kayaking, bike terrains, botanical garden... Just absolutely amazing.

Yucel Salimoglu

I really recommend this place to everyone who likes nature. Very close to Montreal Nord. If you have Laval card you can parc your car free. Must see place. Excellent for children.

Chelsea Allen

I really like this beautiful spot in the middle of the bustle of busy Laval. Good for picnics, strolling, talking. I've been here many times and will come many more! Keep up the good work!

Juan Paz-Viera

The most beautiful, diverse, and biggest outdoors park in Laval. Ideal for families, camping, relaxing. Includes pool, lakes, boat rentals, animal farm, ponies riding, gardens, forest, pathways, picnic tables, public restrooms, cafeterias, lots of parking space and many more attractions.

Syed Shah

Beautiful park and huge fishes in the Lake. Canoe & Kayaks are available for rental purposes: $5-7 for 25 minutes (:

TerryG

If you stay away from the areas with shrieking toddlers, this oasis is very peaceful and zen with its pond (ducks, carp, bullfrogs) and weeping willows, footbridges and pretty landscaping. The petting zoo is depressing but the greenhouses and gardens are well worth seeing.

Kyrsten Burke

First time, we had so much fun. There are so many activities, even in the winter. Such a pleasant surprise.

Bash S

Nice place for family to spend time together there

Alexandrine Groleau

D VK

The Chalet du parc S.E.N.C. doesn’t follow the park schedule, they closed the kitchen at 15:30 at Tuesday, the manager declares that he don’t care about the park schedule, he says he can do what he wants because he’s the owner. 07 June 2021

Crystal Cromwell

Awesome park! There is so much to do here, from canoes and paddle boats and kayaks to playgrounds and petting farm. Lots of animals and birds. Nice walking trails.

Roman Pope

Very nice place to bring your young kids as it has a petting zoo, an animal farm and a good playground. It is also a very suitable place for a walk, have picnic or do some sports. For plant lovers, they have different types of gardens including a tropical indoor one.

Overall, great place. Nice for a little walk. Although the both lakes would need a major clean up.

Nour Alsafadi

Very nice park , There is a small children train, tickets are 4$ per person. Also there is a small lake with lots of fish and you can get kayak cost 7$ for 25 min . And there is a swimming pool and water park. One problem you have to park your car far away from the park if you are not resident of laval

Solecitosays

Very nice park to visit. We went yesterday to walk for a while and we found that two couples were talking photos, brides were on their gowns. Amazing views, nice April weather and we saw how the park is getting ready for Summer: they are preparing grass and some of the flowers are blossoming.

Haisam Asmar Inc.

Very nice parc, with animals on site. During the winter there is a ice skating area, a cross-country trails and tube/tobogganing for the whole family.

Camelia K

I don't know where to start on this review! This place is a community gem on the Laval island. You'll have a spectacular walk through this park, it's well maintained and the various gardens are carefully curated. The canteen is super clean with friendly staff and a calming view. The train staff goes above and beyond to make you smile. The animals are a joy to visit. Everything here, including activities and food, won't break your bank either. We look forward to see what winter activities are in store! Definitely worth multiple visits

Makuos Mo

Good place for kids and there a zoo in side. Well maintained.

Julie Z

Beautiful park with lots of activities for everyone.

Dany D

Fun place to bring the family

Great place for families, open for picnics and events. The playground is open but limited spaces available (max 75 ppl) for 30 mins. They don't exactly force the time limit. The water rentals are closed until further notice.

Hala Tassim

Very nice Park, huge and lots of place for everyone to enjoy some nature , kids , family, couple, it’s nice

Subodh Srivastava

Very beautiful and huge park with places to sit and relax. There is a kids park for them to unwind. Water bodies are beautiful and you can watch variety of fishes in there. For comparison sake, it’s equally big as La Fontaine park in Montréal.

Maher Hatem

The place for all seasons to let kids enjoy while playing... snow slides, ice skating, rafting, toboggan, swings, a small animal farm and a train to make a tour inside the park, during Christmas there is also the famous shop... if you have laval advantage card you can park your car free of charge...

M T L D

Very good area to rest and completely zoom out of every day routine, beautiful landscaping , great place , I would consider picking their with the fam, you even have a playground for kids , a animal area where you can actually pet them, and beautiful scenery everywhere you go. I would recommend people to go their on weekends and spend family time .

Sharona Ramakaev-Owers

I love this park. So many things to do alone, with a partner or as a family. You can rent a boat, a canoe and enjoy some time in the water. You can go for walk, let the kids play in the playground or just have a coffee or a soft drink. There is an animal farm and a little train ride($). It's clean and spacious.

DanD

It used to be beautiful parc where you can enjoy the nature with a family. Poor management and not obeying rules of the parc by visitors ruined it. Overcrowded, not clean, noisy... sad

Jose Francisco

Nice park, perfect to skiting

Christian Loizeau (Memories Abroad)

The Centre de La Nature de Laval is a great big park that offers plenty of activities to do all year long. During the summer you can go to have a picnic, take a walk or enjoy an outdoor concert. In the winter you can bring the whole family for some sledding or ice skating on the frozen lake. They also have a place where you can sharpen your skates. For the Christmas Holidays you can buy handcrafts and various goods at the Christmas market. The farm animals are also always there all year long. The kids will enjoy seeing goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, horses, donkeys and even take a ride on a pony. The mini botanical garden is also open all year round and offers a nice tropical setting. Where else can you see a papaya tree growing in the middle of the city... in the winter? Beautiful setting for wedding pictures in the summer. Great place to bring the kids.

Tee Lory

Always fun and great scenery! Love going there!

Dims

Booking in advance for a 2hr time slot is a great idea for all activities in Laval. Long line ups are no longer an issue. Was a fun 2 hrs, although renting tubes is ridiculous, this should be free as is in Boisbriand.

Riz Bousaleh

It has lot of improvements. Recommended place to pass couple of hours

Amanda Foster

Always lots to do here with the kids.

J Tiffany

Great place for the family and kids, close to the nature, lots of trees, plants, flowers, and a small farm, worth a visit!

Georges Giroux

Centre de la Nature is an amazing park. If you go early in the morning sometimes you can see the ducks and geese that hang ariu d the lake. There many activities to do, and there's a good amount of free parking around (bit of a walk). Really beautiful!

John Sy

Great place! Kids and I had awesome time.

Karim Beydoun

Excellent place to take the little kids out

Camille K

Amazing place to go relax, unwind, and to have a picnic ... Some cute animals and nice botanical gardens in the summer! Super Recommended!

Michel Mondor

Very nice place. A bit hard for parking but it's fine. Very nice for pictures

Ameneh Feizollahi

Finally beautiful place in Laval

Arctic Hawk

Nice place for a long walk. Plenty of picnic tables to stop & rest a bit. Everyone is friendly! Certain parking lots are reserved for.Laval citizens only. As a non citizen, had to park on the street. No big deal.

Samir Louhichi

Love this park. A must is the pony rides on weekends, and as of st Jean pools are open. Rent a cannoe or a paddle boat. The play park for kids are all renovated and look great. Visit the farm and pet the animals. Go for a walk or a run on the many paths. Enjoy a picnic. Plenty of shade to play ball.

Ed Kassem

Very nice park. It has a big pool, lots of parking space and not a lot of bugs. Some areas are restricted for bicycles. Even kiddie bikes aren't allowed. Good place to hang out. Not sure if it's because of the pandemic but no stores or cafeterias to buy a bottle of water.

Patrick Parent

Walking among this high-quality fall gardening is wonderful. Paired with sunlight, it makes any pictures yummy.

Vimal Mahindroo

This is a big garden well maintained and is good for picnic with nice environment.

Amanda Joy

We went for the Christmas market! Was well! Had a lot of fun. Wish there was more artisans and food options. But overall great experience !

KAMAL SATTOUT

Very beautiful park and excellent for taking children

Fariduddin Erfani

It is one of the biggest green area & park in Laval. Centre de la Nature is a well-known park & area in Laval. It is family & kids friendly & at the same time for teenagers & lovers as well. In the spring time & summer time it really worth to go & have a visit & have a tour all around the area. Totally you would enjoy your time & it makes you feel happy & relax by seeing different kind of creativities, nice flowers in various colors, a big lake full of fishes. Thanks to those who work there & make our days & moments. Even they decorate specific area in different evens like Halloween & other events.

Martin-Pierre Frenette

One of the best urban parks in the Montreal suburbs, with amazing shows in the summer and even a cool farm. Beautiful place for wedding pictures, there are also great children playparks Oh, and it contains the tallest mountain of the island of Laval! Granted, it's just a hill, but it shows how flat the island is.

Marcel Blaga

Nice park, multiple parkings entries, mostly for family time. Be advised, if you want to kayak, you can't use yours and have to pay for their activities. Parking price $8, but it's free if you have a Laval membership card.

Isa Gonzalez

Beautiful place to enjoy with the family!

Alaaeddin Ali

Great place for a family picnic. They have nice pond with lots of fish, play structure, flowers (gr8 for pictures) , and bathrooms everywhere. One issue is the parking .. for some reason the parking lot is only for the residents of Laval and so I had to drive around to find a parking on the street . Enjoy !

Ghada Shadaida

Great place to play and have fun with your jids

Andrew McDonald

Visited the splash pad and pool. Great place on a hot day. Just need to find parking!!! might need to park a little away and walk over. Second visit: went to the animal area today and had a blast. Also went to the pool. Another great visit.

George Rampersaud

This is a big park and lots of animals to see! Worth going here even on a rainy day just bring an umbrella. Well maintained as well, probably one of the cleanest parks that I've been to ????????

Lucy Desrosiers

Amazing park so beautiful so well maintained many activities. We choose it for our engagement pictures.

Jimmy TARACHE

Very nice site

Geoff Chan

This place is awesome! You could spend an entire day here with the family.

Alex Burr

Very nice setup for family and casual outdoors sporting. Skating, sliding, cross country skiing in the winter. Sports fields and a man made Lake in the summer. A farm animal visiting center for young families is really well done.

Mercedes Azurdia

Perfect to go with your family!

P A

Tony Greco

This is the best nature park in the greater Montreal area you have it all here. Petting pens with goats and sheep, small farm to view animals like horses pigs rabbits to name a few. Section of exotic birds and real live jungle with amazing species of plants and trees. I love this park amazing place to spend the day with the family and it is all free except for the snack bar.

Arman Ali Ayon

Beautiful landscaping and just an awesome place for all ages

Mike Deseve

Beautiful place for a walk or an afternoon with the kids.

Rob Aberrantfool

Great park in all seasons. The mini farm and greenhouse are unique and fun. The splash pad is fun, but very cold water. Despite the rumours, there is not a dwarf Kraken to be found in the pond. Events are usually well organised although parking can get tight. Fantastic park!

Anh Thu Dinh

Beautiful botanical park for family and kids to unwind. There are koi fish, turtles... in the pond. Even on a very hot day it doesn't feel too hot in the park thanks to tall trees. Parkings near the park are reserved for Laval residents except P5.

Hasan Khan

Want to relax/chill or simply have a picnic? Head over to Centre de la Nature! During summer, there are a few interesting activities to do, like kayaking and canoeing. Explore nature and discover flowers you've never seen before (be careful if you're allergic to pollen). You'll also find some exotic birds, like peacocks and mesmerizing animals horses. Finally, there's also a café/cafeteria fik refreshments! Must visit for all! ????

Such a beautiful place!

This place is part of my childhood. My family used to live in front of it, and we would go often. Its a breath of fresh air in Laval. Lots of trees, great for walks. Depending on seasons, you eighter rent a boat or go ice skating. There are animals, and a lot great installations (Beware the goose) Bunnies and such. A great place for a date, family reunions and many other things. A lot of parking. Food stand. Architectural displays and statues. 10/10

Jodie-Lynn McMullen

Wonderful park with a really beautiful flower and plant garden! Great place for picnics with lots of other activities available

Andrei Chiorean

Very nice park, impressive arrangements. Loving it!

Michael C.

Nothing not to like. A rare 5 stars. Clean areas, lots of activities; mini farm, petting area, playgrounds, boating, swimming, plenty of things to see; gardens, a lake, playgrounds, and also great on special occasions; with live music and fireworks.

Elias Youssef

Very interesting place, not an ordinary park. There are a variety of animals, a lake to fish and to do kayak, very nice spots to enjoy the nature and also tables for picnic. No entrance fees, you only pay for parking and it is easy to find a free street one. Unfortunately bbq are not allowed, it would be a perfect place if they allow bbq.

Amelie Celestin

Very nice park. Nice arrangements and if you keep an eye open you can expect to see some very nice animals.

Julie Baum

My granddaughter loved the play area. We didn't get much further than that. I was a little disheartened about the parking. I know the idea is to get more local people to park there cars there but there was only on the street parking for non residents which I think is wrong. There are two car parks that I saw both for residents and so we parked on the street. This is the closest nature reserve to where we live.

Philip

nice big park good for a walk

Mav O

This such a beautiful place to spend spend few hours with your kids. I go back every summer. I highly recommend it if you're a nature lover.

nana

Nice place, big, no bbq, there is a place for bicycle, skate board, swimming pool, water playground and very nice play ground near small animal zoo.

Raed

It is nice but they are asking for mask now and you have to be from Laval to use the internal parking

Primrose Fernandes

Really good parc. So many different areas, but can get crowded at the common spots. Best place is the water side watching the fish!

Claude Everton

Beautiful park filled with flowers and plants, with several different animals, birds, turtles and fish.

Marissa L.

Beautiful and peaceful! Definitely worth checking out! Dogs allowed on leash!

michel nakhoul

Lovely for families, my children love the farm

Patricia Rzepa

A part from the construction, it was still very pleasant to walk with the dogs.

Calin Giurgiu

A very nice park to stroll around. It has a little bit of everything: lake, forest, flower gardens, a small playground for kids. There is also parking.

Nour Alsafadi

Very nice park , There is a small children train, tickets are 4$ per person. Also there is a small lake with lots of fish and you can get kayak cost 7$ for 25 min . And there is a swimming pool and water park. One problem you have to park your car far away from the park if you are not resident of laval

mahdi farajzadeh

Even in fall, one of the best parks in this area!

Ivan Ceballos

Beautiful and big place to enjoy summer time. There is a paid parking but you can find free parking in the streets nearby. There is a nice lake in the middle where you can do some kayak. It has many flowers so it's a nice place for photography.

remi remman

Very nice Park but always take sun protection

Ruba Kasem

I've visited this place several times. I can say that it is more fun in spring and summer than winter (personal opinion). However, there are winter activities there nonetheless. (I just don't enjoy winter activities). You should take your kids there. There are some animals that they can see and a play ground as well.

Linda M

Beautiful place for family and friends, beautiful spot for wedding pictures, they also have farm animals a lake that doubles as a rink in winter. Love it there

Daniel Mounter

Not bad overall. The focus is on families, and there is not much "wild" nature in evidence. If you can tolerate crowds and don't want to travel far, plus are prepared to hunt for free parking, it makes an acceptable afternoon out in summer.

Juan Carlos Bernal Herrera

Nice place to spend the day, activities for all the family, the gardens are amazing.

Claudia D

Lovely place to bring the kids. Waterpark is clean and jas a lot of sitting areas.

Razvan Gazi

One of the best parks I've ever seen! Perfect for a picnic or a nice walk. You can also do kayaking on the small lake located in the park. Also great location to bring your kids to, since they have a lot of swings and playgrounds.

Carole Landry

One park that I love to go with my little girl. She loves it and she's amazed by it.

Google Person

No parking for non residents + parc is packed. People everywhere. Not very relaxing. Not sure what all the hype is about...

Sirazum Munira

Beautiful place! The most beatiful and colorful park in Montreal in Summer! Full of different types of colorful and extravagant flowers! Eye soothing ????

Beatriz Bejarano

Beautiful place!!

Sara Bélanger

It's a really nice place to go! The animals seemed happy, there was a nice play ground for kids, lots of flowers and nice quiet corner. We'll definitely go back with our camera ???? and on a warm sunny day. ☀

Leonard Xu

Dont like the fact that you have to pay 8$ if not resident of Laval, but it is not unreasonnable. Boat and train-train (4$ per person) is pretty cheap. Very nice to come chill out with family and kids. Very nice place to walk around!

davidelcaid

a lot of green space some farm animals and a little lake with fish its ok for a nice sunny day

Hugues Terrien

Went during winter to go tubing. Several slopes are available, bring your own sled or rent tube for 5$. There was a free do Hill skiing for kids 5-8yrs

Ihor Stashchuk

Not too bad. Finding a parking spot is an issue. The playground is swarming with kids, which is natural, but keep an eye on your kid because it's easy to get them lost, especially when they're not aware of surroundings, they move a lot and don't do regular checkups if you're around. There's a pond where you can feed fish - they jump out of water and catch the bread you feed them. My kids really liked that.

Oussama Brik

Good place for family and to have some fun, but be careful, when there's an event in the park, it's CROWDED, be the first so you can manage to have a good spot. Otherwise, it's a big parc with multiple activities spots specifically for kids.

Mona Osman

Very nice and clean place to visit and enjoy

Ammaad Farooq

Very beautiful and well maintained park.

Steven Racktoo

I love this place it's nice and big for long walks or bike rides. There are a ton of activities yearly. They even had horse back riding for kids which was a rare treat. It's a free park so it's worth a visit once or twice a year.

J-R L

Gorgeous site where you can walk, jog or run. You can also have pique niques and/or enjoy the nature of nature!!! Accessible for everyone! Family friendly!

Frederique Daoust

This place is simply amazing... It's so beautiful and the staff is lovely... Animals are adorable and the goats are so well trained. I adore the fact that you could pet different animal in their habitats. In addition, the flowers and the bridge were amazing! Beautiful place to go in family or with your partner!

Anas AL

It is a great and fantastic park to visit. I gave only 4 stars because of the cars parkings are only for Laval residents which is not fair.

Salvatore Minerva

Beatiful, for family get away ...in the city

Peter Giser

The best public park in the Montreal/Laval area. Large walking areas, more than one pond, flowers to rival the botanical gardens, and family friendly. Activities include many animals and a mini-barn, a very nice kids' playground, gardens with seating, some pop up stands, and during Halloween time special displays and activities.

B.

Really nice park, you have even a small farm, which now is closed for covid reasons. Parking is not free(like someone would take the bus for a relaxing walk...) so a pain if you are tired of paying everywhere you go.

Jad Antanios

Gorgeous place and maybe the best place to take photos near Montréal

Oleksandra Kurash

Normally we love the park, however, because of the restrictions, some of the activities are non-available at this time, and others require registration on the site and reservation. Make sure to consult the website before going

Vatche Manoukian

Very friendly staff and very clean restrooms,we specially loved the kayaking,ty and keep the awesome work

Dee

I loved this place. So many things to see. Great views. Clean park. Amazing. A must place to visit

thierry beaumier

Beautiful park to go for a walk and enjoy the sun or sunset. The pond in the middle has huge craps and other fishes. Although thier is alot of trash and litter in the water so please use the garbage bins.

carla shaw

Excellent! Activities and interests for the whole family!

Bassel

Beautiful Park in Laval, worth going there if you wanna bring a date watch fishes and cute bugs ♥️????

Stacey L

The reason for 1 star cuz bad service for the boating. They lied to us, they said can be refund if it is raining but when it happened, you can not get the refund and you can not back on the boat after the rain stop. You have to bring your young kids on the boat during the raining or wast your money. We like this park but not the unreasonable rule for boating. At least, they should tell you the rule before you buy the tickets, not lie to the client. We paid $8 for 5 minutes cuz my youngest one is only 2yrs, I don’t want let her get sick for this $8. If you want to bring your kids for boating, be sure choose the sunny day.

mahmut kacar

Very beautiful park. Weekends very crowded but Monday and Tuesday very relax and tranquil.

Edwin S.

Nice park in Laval, very beautiful with lots of things to see and experience.

Hisham Naeem

Perfect in many ways Cleanliness Variety of animals Helpful staff Lots of greenery Creative art work with flowers Play area for kids Cozy family place Not a lot of parking available

Anne-Marie Le Blanc

It's a gorgeous place to go to. If you want to escape the city views without leaving the city this is the place to go to.They have restaurants and a few different activities as well .

Esty Gebus

Omg this place is a real hidden gem! Farm animals, a large playground, a beautiful indoor flower garden with interesting plants and birds and stunning well-maintained grounds. A lake with fish and boat rentals available. A canteen where you can buy ice cream and stuff. Super friendly and sweet staff (they allowed me to use the bathroom to nurde my baby even though it was technically closed). We had a lovely afternoon and will definitely be back. P. S. The parking lot was reserved for laval residents only but there's plenty of street parking.

nicholas jakubowicz

This is a great place for kids and adults alike. There is a large play area with slides, a climbing wall, swings, etc. What is great is that the ground is a cushioned felt like material. There is also a small animal farm. And a beautiful garden to take a leisurely stroll.

Rana

Lovely park .. exilant park to spend whole the day there enjoying kids play ground , animal farm , fish , and much more

Cat Mccat

Really fun nature center with so much today. Perfect for a day trip with the whole family. There are okay grounds, a greenhouse, please zoo, lake with equipment to rent for rowing etc. Even a train ride for the kids. Seems like also a water park area. Lots of big open fields for sports games as well as lots of more forested areas for walks. Highly recommend a visit to this park.

Lola M

Beautiful park with a lake. Lots of decorations and well maintained grounds. They have petting farm, ice cream place, you can rent canoes, playgrounds for kids. We went there over Thanksgiving weekend and it was packed. People celebrating Birthdays, we saw 4 weddings, taking their photos there. I would recommend going on a less busy day.

David Santana

A place to enjoy nature and outdoor activities in Laval. During summer I recommend the garden, is a beautiful place to have a family day. In winter there are plenty of options for kids and adults: ice skating, hill slide are recommended.

w m

Nice clean and natural environment . It offers some good activities for families. Recomment it

Katrine D'Errico

Lovely place for a walk with the fur kid.

Carmen C

Nice place to spend time with the family. They have many activities, playground for the kids, few kinds of animals, kayak.... many picnic tables.

Maggie M

Beautiful Park for couples and families !

Tanya

Great park for the whole family. Beautiful area to walk, bike or have a picnic. There is a playground for children, beautiful outdoor gardens, a skate park, greenhouse, a farm with animals, a cute village of tiny buildings (church, barber etc..) a small lake with kayak rentals, or skating in winter. There are a few activities that cost about $4 such as train rides and pony rides for kids.There really is something to keep the whole family busy. I love this park and go in every season. Parking is $7. If you go during the week there is sometimes street parking available, usually difficult to find on weekends. *Tip: If you are a Laval resident and have the Carte Avantages Laval parking is free when you show your card, it also gives you a $2 discount on equipment rentals

Niranjana Sellathurai

The most epic I have ever seen before in my life. Great scenery, animals to see and boating in the lake with canoes and paddle boards. Visit it!

Rosie C

Beautiful piece of paradise right in the middle of the suburbs! You can enjoy it all year round, if you enjoy winter! Great for a walk or picnic. Have lots of activities & events there on weekends. Great for family fun!

Sajeda Samir

My family and I always go for birthday parties and so do my friends, it's a beautiful park

Camylle

Lots of space, the little farm is perfect for kids to visit!

Sally Kang

Beautiful and spacious park with things to do year round even if you’re on a tight budget. There are animals and beautiful scenery to see. Must go for both kids and adults to enjoy if you’re in the area!

Noor Akbari

I can only share my review for the skating ring there. The two times I went there, the ice was pretty clean and neat. There is always a person for security and as soon as I fell, that person was there and gave me a bag of ice to put on my injured knee. You can also rent skates and other things related to winter activities. Will go back there for sure...as soon as my knee get better !

best wishes

Excellent park, large open spaces, walkways and cycle track, a lake, public pool, park, farm, excellent for family outings and for young children the only negative side is that it needs more bathrooms throughout the park children and older people can not go halfway from the park to go to an excellent rest bath

Rami Al-Batal

Nice park spend a few hours in. Decent playground for kids to enjoy. Lots of nice views and some rescue animals for the kids to see. If you dont live in Laval, then expect to not gain access to parking lot and to be directed to use street parking.

R R

Beautiful beautiful beautiful park! Lots of things to do with the family. Pond is beautiful. There is a train ride for kids, and also canoeing

Allyssa Cullen

Amazing, beautiful, lots to do for everyone. Great prices on food. There is a lake where you can rent boats and a small farm, a water park. On Saturday morning they have crafts for kids in the mini village, there is also a stage where all summer they have live music. Love this place

Beautiful place, marvelous lake with ducks. Park for kids, and lots of flowers all over :) Loved it!

Oscar Garcia

Beautiful park, and great scenery! A must visit!

fenix medieval

An amazing experience. It's a wonderful botanical garden mixed with a huge parc. Green areas, picnics, playgrounds for children, people skating, jogging, reading, performing several sports or hobbies.. That's cool. They even have a farm and an exotic greenhouse. You must go there alone, with friends and family. And the best of all : it's free!

WarriorGag Sawggg

Beautiful park to hang out with family and friends

Carrie Desp

Michael Essipovitch

Beautiful park. A lot of activities. But not enough ot restrooms.

Mike Bifsha

Great park for families. There is a farm and 3 playgrounds. Long walking areas. There is also a track for running. There is also a lake. Parking on weekends is 7$ unless you have the Laval card Avantages, than it's free. We live near by so we visit often. It's one of the best parks in laval.

Gorgeus... Clean and organized... Too bad for the covid restrictions. A pearl in laval!!!

Jareth Ontiveros

incredible place to spend the day with the family and rest

Mustafizur Rahman

Amazing place to spend on a beautiful day with your family. There's a small farm (free visit), a great walking path, a nice lake where you can rent boat, kayak, etc, at reasonable price. There are picnic tables (no BBQ), and a huge park for kids with padded ground for safety. Everything you can ask for to take your kids! Enjoy!

Neta H

Beautiful and clean, well maintained. Small lake with fish, great for kids!

Marie-Belle Ayoub

Great place to have a picnic or have a nice walk. Family friendly. We did some kayaking which was nice. The views are great, the parcs are big, the kids loved it. There's a little farm where you can see some animals (cows, pigs, chicken....). Poney riding was also available. If you have the card "avantage laval" you have free parking and discounts on some stuff. Will defenitly go back.

Nader

Good family park to go to.There are fun activities with the kids like the farm or the greenhouses. Winter activities are great too! Skating/Cross-country skiing/Snow tubing

Cedrick Burcena

(French review below) Free parking, but only for Laval residents. However, there is ample parking around the park. Beautiful, clean, family-friendly, and even has a little farm area. During the winter, the little lake turns into a huge skating rink. Ideal for long walks, especially nearing sunset (for all you hopeless romantics) ------------------------------------ C'est malade !
