Travel Tips
1 – Make hotel reservations early. Some hotels stop taking online reservations a couple days ahead of time.
Unlike other travel websites, we are willing to give you direct links to the hotel websites. We want you to book with our links right below each listing (so we don't have to fill this space with flashing buttons) but we want you to have the best rate and information. One of us will have the best rates & availability.
2 – After making a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Print this email to take with you. Keep it and the original email until after you are billed correctly.
3- The earlier you check-in, the more likely you will get the type of room you requested or better.
4 - Hotel rates can vary wildly by season. Depending on the time of year and seasonal events, you may find rates much different than our cost codes. We always offer any available discount rates for AAA and AARP, corporate and govt employees, and groups.
Feedback: Help us improve by sending us corrections, updates and comments. |

Montréal has been a major North American port since the earliest days of European settlement. The city was built just below the Lachine Rapids, which marked the westernmost limit for oceangoing ships sailing up the St. Lawrence River. Now this waterfront park is one of the most popular recreational spots in Montréal. You can take a ferry or raft ride, or a harbor cruise, and bicycles and in-line skates are for rent along rue de la Commune. In winter, visitors can skate on a huge outdoor rink.

Montréal's amusement park was run for most of its 35 years by the city. A few years ago it was sold to the American-owned Six Flags theme park empire, which has recently invested over $7 million in a major renovation program..
Seven new rides recently debuted:
1. The Manitou (Hanging from a giant 24 passenger six-sided circular gondola, riders experience rapid fire spinning while swinging back and forth);
2. The Vertigo , (swoops guests to heights of 60 feet in a continuous looping motion.).
3. The Flying Carousel Swing, Tour de Ville. (Up to 48 riders at a time will enjoy the wonder and fantasy of this classic family attraction.)
4. Tasses Magiques (Magical Tea Cups)(consists of 12 giant rotating cups. Each cup will accommodate up to five riders. The double motion of the platform is combined with rider-controlled spinning of the tea cups)
5. The Toboggan Nordique roller coaster joins the more daring roller coaster rides in the park(individual four passenger cars will go through a course full of hairpin turns and moderate drops. Perfect for the not-so-daring thrill seeker).
6. Autos Tamponneuses (bumper cars) ride. (features the latest innovations in bumper car design.
7. The Grand Carousel , (beautifully designed: traditional and romantic)
The park fills the northern area of the Ile Ste-Hélène with a sailing lagoon, an Enchanted Forest with costumed storytellers, and a Western town with saloon, as well as ferris wheels, carousels, roller coasters, carnival booths, and places to eat and drink.
