Spring, where are you? We’re ready for you to come out and play so we can enjoy all of the fun things this season has to offer in our beautiful city! While we wait, here are my top picks of activities and events in Montreal with kids April 2025 edition.

Pond Skimming!- Various Dates

This ski hill activity is making a comeback at various Quebec and Vermont resorts. If you don’t know what it is, a small pond is constructed at the base of a ski hill. Skiers and boarders dressed in costumes attempt to make it across the “pond”. Even if you’re not a skier, it’s a super entertaining outing, guaranteed to be filled with laughs. Here are a few upcoming dates:

Mont Sutton’s Snow on the Beach – April 5
Mont Tremblant’s Caribou Cup – April 5
Stowe, VT – April 12

Les Sucrés au Marché – April 5

The Atwater Market celebrates all things maple for this one-day event taking place from 10am to 5pm. There will, of course, be maple taffy on snow, maple mocktails and music and dancing. For the kids, there will be French storytelling sessions in the morning and inflatable games too.

Citizen Spring – April 5-27

The Montreal Botanical Gardens are ready for spring with 4 weekends of outdoor events for guests to discover nature at its best.

Each weekend’s theme will educate through activities and workshops.

Easter Egg Hunt – April 12-13 & 18-21
