Montreal Botanical Garden (with kids)

We have been coming to 514 for more than 3 decades and somehow have missed visiting this garden all these years. On a recent trip to 514, with overseas visitors we finally made a point to visit.

Amazing and such a well planned garden. We spent more than 4hrs here and still did not cover the entire ground. Plenty of shade to avoid the summer heat but both the Chinese and Japanese Gardens are one of the best we have experienced!

Great experience. The biodiversity center was quite informative while the other outdoor areas were relaxing walking areas. I definitely recommend spending a good couple hours there to explore everything, or maybe spreading it out over a few days.
