More information on Planetarium de Montreal

A window on the night sky, with mythical monsters and magical heroes, Montréal's planetarium is right downtown, only 3 blocks south of Centre Bell. It celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2005. Shows under the 20m (66-ft.) dome dazzle and inform kids at the same time. Multimedia presentations change with the seasons, exploring time and space travel and collisions of celestial bodies. The special Christmas show, "Season of Light," can be seen December and early January afternoons, while evenings bring representations of the night sky. Shows in English alternate with those in French. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
