When it comes to fun indoor activities to do in Montréal, Explore is a masterclass in science and fun. Discover the wonders at work behind motion, air, light, water, geometry, matter, and code as you play with giant soap bubbles, water tables, a crane, and explore all sorts of other interactive activities.

Explore the stunning brilliance of simple machines, such as pulleys, gears, and levers—but gigantic ones! Try the freewheel and get dizzy and dazzled by the gyroscopic effect. Take on a group challenge where you’ll illuminate a giant bolt of lightning by transforming your movements into electricity.
Explore this completely invisible force that is undeniably very real. Come play with wind and experiment with air pressure. Feel the effects of a tornado and watch as objects move about in fascinating ways inside an air labyrinth.
Explore and be amazed by the spectrum of light and learn about reflection and refraction as well as ultraviolet and infrared light. Walk through a giant kaleidoscope and have fun creating disturbingly fascinating lighting effects on a wall of light.
Have fun like a fish in water experimenting and playing with two water tables that will show you the power and the inventions derived from this fundamental source of life. Build your own water circuit, watch a real vortex at work, and generate electricity too!
Immerse yourself in a whole new world of knowledge observing phenomena that will baffle and astound you. Use your mathematical and geometric ingenuity to build a bridge, send messages with parabolic antennas, and marvel at the symmetry and efficiency of the many forms and structures nature creates.
Observe and explore the forms and properties of matter and the infinite world of detail normally invisible to the naked eye thanks to instruments like microscopes and magnifying glasses. Explore the secrets of magnetism and experiment with a giant soap bubble that will teach you about the building blocks of matter.
Crack the code and explore programming, connected objects, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. Compose music, make a robot dance, create animation sequences… just by using code!
