Pointe-à-Callière, musée d'archéologie et d'histoire de Montréal Reviews

Great place. 9 year old daughter really enjoyed. She loved to see the evolution of Montreal city over time. Would have been better if just fewer people, but was expecting it, it is spring break for kids after all!

Here is one of the attractive places in Montreal with kids. Tbere are so many historical resources and new experiences connecting between past and present. The space composition is wonderful.

Nice place to learn about the history of the old port of Montreal and nice trains exhibition

This place is great. An amazing Montreal experience. I have taken a guided tour (the guide was fabulous) and also have gone self guided. Loving the history and the presentation.

Very good place for kids!
If you want to spend an excellent day with your children, I recommend this place, I think it takes you at least 2 hours to go all over the place, which takes you back in time and shows you everything about Montreal and its origins! the story about the cross of mont royal and market place !! this is one of the museums that are really worth it, you can go alone, as a couple or with children it is excellent !! very good work

Very nice museum, friendly staff and very worth the admission price. I was not aware there was so much to see, from the history of Montreal to the train exhibit. Highly recommended.

We had a very rainy day while visiting Montreal so we decided to give the museum a go. We had a great time learning about the history of Montreal and how the the city was designed and built. I was also very happy to see before the amazing 3d film they show you before entering the rest of the museum. In this they acknowledge Indigenous and first nation people and how we were learning in a museum on land that had been taken from them.

Excellent place to learn about the history of Montreal. Staff are very knowledgeable and smiling . Lots of interactive displays to keep young adults and children engaged.

Went for the pirate exhibit. Loved the tunnel which greets you, which in fact was the largest working sewer at one point in time. Exhibit showing history of Montreal uncovered from several digs around the area, with some artifacts. Pirate boat was ok with a wheel kids can interact with, you can actually go aboard a makeshift pirate ship. Was expecting a little more like live pirates, but cirque de soleil it's not. Locomotive exhibit showing the influence it had on the city and travel was great with a running model train kids can admire. Back to the future display was a plus. Expect to spend 2 hrs here. Kids and adults can admire the exhibits together.
