For fans of peace, love and Bob Marley, spring time is the right time for long days filled with very, very little. If the tam-tam scene isn’t quite the right beat but you’re looking for some simple pleasures, then try some of the following activities — our favourite ways to enjoy a chilled out spring day.
The Jean-Talon Market
The Jean-Talon Market is a free fruit bonanza, with many vendors offering generous – and delicious – samples.
Dance Revolution
We’re talkin’ about a Dance Dance Revolution. Visit Pinocchio arcade, one of the last of its kind. 1825 Ste. Catherine Street West.
Beaver Lake
Beaver Lake is an uber-chill place to hang out by the water, or raid the nearby snack bar.
IMAX
Because there’s nothing better than a six storey-high screen, check out the IMAX at the Science Centre. 333 De la Commune Street West.
