What you need to know
- Supervised sessions for ages 7 to 11 at the Terrain d'aventures: free 55-minute slots that start on the hour, and parents wait outside
- Separate play area for ages 2 to 6, so younger siblings have their own space in the same garden
- Enter by the Bourse de Commerce, where the adventure area's gate is; step-free access to the garden is from Rue Sauval, since the Rue Berger entrance has steps
About
Two playgrounds sit in this 4-hectare garden between the Canopée and the Bourse de Commerce, with Saint-Eustache church as a backdrop. Toddlers have a play area for ages 2 to 6.
Older kids get the Terrain d'aventures, a maze-like course designed by sculptor Henri Marquet's team, with the Mégamachines slide structure, a trampoline, swings, spinning tops and planted corners to hide in, run by city play workers.
