Montreal with Kids: March 2025

Spring Break is here. Whether you’re heading out on vacation or planning a staycation, the entire month has some amazing events taking place in Montreal. From sugar shacks to concerts to sports competitions, the Montreal with kids March 2025 roundup has something for everyone.

Spring Break at Pointe-à-Callière Museum – March 1-7

Spring break starts in Old Montreal and if you’ve got a Harry Potter lover, this is the place to be! All week long, the museum will be offering free daily entertainment between 11am-4pm, with a wizarding theme. The schedule will include four different outdoor challenges for wizards, like magic potion making, and wand handling. And there will be a Harry Potter movie marathon, with different films every day that you can cozy up to watch on bean bags.

Spring Break at Indigo – March 3-7

Indigo book stores always pull out all the stops for spring break with a week of activities featuring some of their favourite brands. Every day at 1pm, kids 3+ can discover amazing toys from Lego, Tonies, Magnatiles, Hot Wheels, Dr. Seuss and Klutz, in craft, learning and play workshops. There are 4 locations in the Montreal area that will be participating.

Spring Break at Place des Arts – March 5-8

Another one of my free March break picks is downtown with cool activities for the entire family. Place des Arts will be offering a percussion show, circus workshop, craft workshop (creating Wizard of Oz costumes), and even a pancake mix cooking workshop. Some activities may be in French.

Canada’s largest women’s artistic gymnastics competition comes to Montreal at Stade de soccer de Montreal. This is a great activity for any aspiring gymnasts or for the family to see amazing talent.

Cabane Panache at Promenade Wellington – March 20-23

The Outdoor Adventure Show – March 22-23

This family-friendly trade show taking place at Palais des Congres, features everything you need to know to plan your next adventure, from paddling to scuba to amazing destinations.
