Top 8 best museums in Canada2026 ranking

The architecture of the dome is impressive. The museum lets us discover topics related to the environment and ecology, but it remains quite small and some exhibits lack energy. For me, it is not a must-see, plus the admission price is high.

The Montreal Science Centre is an ideal place to visit with kids when the weather isn't great. The facilities are playful and allow kids to test all sorts of scientific experiments. It is a very fun visit for both young and old. If you are only staying in the city for two days, however, it is not a must-see.
