Last call for ‘Reveal or Conceal’ at the McCord Museum and ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ at the Montreal Museum for Contemporary Art. And if Warhol does it for you, then get to the Montreal Museum for Fine Arts and quick, before crowds pack the halls.

Jeanne-Mance Park, just across the street from Montreal’s quasi-mountain, Mount Royal, is yet another coveted spot for outdoor skating in Montreal.
Angrignon Park offers free and affordable activities to Montrealers year-round, including free access to an outdoor skating rink. A little out of the way if you don’t have a car but worth the trip if you’re looking for a woodsy environment that makes you forget the urban landscape surrounding the park.
An affordable must on the list of Montreal winter activities and often a free of charge outdoor activity for those who bring their own skates, Montreal skating rinks offer an affordable activity for all sorts of occasions, whether you’re contemplating first date possibilities, family activity options or are looking for something to fight off seasonal blahs. So don’t hesitate to check out these top skaing rink choices, all in the city!
