Children in Montreal?

[David and Karen 0]

We are bouncing the idea around about bringing my daughters to Montreal for the interview. Primarily because they will miss school to attend. They are 7 & 10 yrs. Therefore, not required to attend. I wondered for those of you that brought your children what were you able to do with them in Montreal? I mean outside of the interview. Where did you take them? What did you see? It will be November and likely cold.

Any ideas? We may just choose to leave them home with grandma. I just thought it may turn to be a cool part of the experience of the moving process.

Thanks,

Karen

My six year old thought she was in France. She fell alseep until right when we entered Montreal with all the old buildings. She woke up and was amazed. The little french she knew she used it was cool and she talks about it still. There's a museum very close to the consulate, there's a mall. She loves to shop so we spent most of our time there.

Good Luck !!!!!

I lived in Montreal all of my life before I moved to Virginia 3 and a half years ago.

I say to take the kids!

Montreal is a BEAUTIFUL city and even kids shouldn't miss it! No matter that it'll be in the winter, take them to the Montreal BIODOME/INSECTARIUM or the PLANETARIUM! At 7 and 10, they'll love both/either of those places!

There's always the Science Center/Imax theater at the Old Port too....

Siiiigh....I miss my old hometown.

When I was visiting Montreal this summer, I brought my nieces to the Old Port. They're 9 and 11, and they enjoyed the Imax Theatre and having some "beaver tail" for snack afterwards. There is also a museum (Pointe-a-Calliere) in Old Montreal that might be interesting to them if they like history.

the Biodome is easily coolest zoo/aquarium/botanical garden I've ever seen. I can't wait to take my husband when we go for our interview, your kids should love it. It's really easy to get to, one of the subway lines stops right out front.

K-2 children over a certian age need to be present at the interview...I believe it is 14.

My girls are K2 applicants. Both are listed on my interview/appointment letter. But they are 7 & 10 so they don't need to attend. I would be bringing them along for the experience.
