A worthwhile journey through the time between the end of WW1 and the present. Some poignant images and notes from the past, but there is an underlying positive message from the survivors who narrate the various video presentation.
I was glad to bear witness to the information presented
Definitely worth the time to visit

8. Parc des Prairies
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 21 reviews
Reviewed By MartaM285 - Laval, Canada
Parc des Prairies has something for everyone: nature lovers, family picnics , kids play/ animation, exercise fans, runners, cultural events, dancing lessons, late night movies, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, art Exhibitions - just check for times of activities that interest you on City of Laval website. One thing that's not clear - do they welcome dogs? The park is 30 hectares and should have plenty of space for everyone but Laval has these totally bizarre and restrictive laws that do not permit dogs in any municipal parks. The animators say that they "tolerate dogs" in the park but the signs say differently - no dogs allowed. Go figure! City of Laval has some important homework to do! Are your parks animal friendly?

My 2 1/2 year old grandson really enjoys this place, however it's less impressive for the adults.
Admission costs are rather steep considering that updating is really needed:
$15.65 per child, $8.70 per adult, 7.83 for seniors...not including,tax.
They are open 9:00-5:00 Mon to Thursday and 9:00-6:00 on Fri, Sat & Sun.
There is no restaurant/snack bar, so bring your own food & beverages.
The location is on the east side of Labelle Blvd, just north of highway 440.
Lots to do, touch, explore for the little ones:
- police car, fire truck, vet clinic, construction zone, grocery store, classroom, farm, garage, boat, space shuttle, theatre/costumes a ball room & more.
A good choice for a rainy day or during the winter.
10. Jean-Talon Market

Reviewed By MsMNyc - NYC
We took a quick trip to Jean-Talon Market and it was great seeing various food products. Unfortunately, we were continuing with our road trip so we couldn’t buy any perishables. We enjoyed some samples and purchased a few maple syrup products.
There is parking behind the market.
