Having fun in Haut-Richelieu is as easy as pie.
Here, spring break is lived at the pace of the little ones.
In our house, school vacations aren't planned like a military operation.
We collect little moments of wonder. We enjoy time outdoors to burn off energy. The next day, we enjoy being indoors to relax a little. We savor hot chocolate, go out, stay up late (sometimes), and then start all over again.
Having fun in Haut-Richelieu with a wide range of activities is a treat for kids today and an opportunity for adults to reconnect with their inner child. Make the most of spring break with our top suggestions.
Outside is our playground!
In Haut-Richelieu, winter isn't a break. It's an invitation. We choose an outing with high returns: little preparation for lots of smiles.

In Venise-en-Québec, an icy trail on the lake not only allows you to slow down, but also to skate while admiring an incredible view that is unique in the region.
Arbraska – Mount Saint-Grégoire 👨👩👧👦 💲 🍽️ 🐶
The kind of outing that makes you forget you're "just" on vacation. You climb, you move, you push yourself, and you come home feeling pleasantly tired.
CIME Haut-Richelieu 👨👩👧👦 💲
Climbing Mont Saint-Grégoire with your family gives you that feeling of “I earned this view.” It’s an accessible, satisfying hike that makes you say, “We’ll be back, because our mountain may not be the highest... But here, we climb as a family.” Plus, you can often complete the hike in half a day.

At our place, rainy afternoons have a destination. Games already laid out, hot coffee, snacks, a game library, and children who forget about screens for a while!
Near the river, in Old Saint-Jean you will find charm, color, and shops. Hot drink in hand, we also suggest enjoying the air... and the art at Chambly Canal during a walk along the water. In addition to the ducks swimming, you can admire a photo exhibition of life in Montérégie.
Close to the Canal, you will find the lock keepers' park. Meet up at the legendary hearth. This flame revisits the evenings of yesteryear: a brand new immersive experience. So warm up and discover our heritage with this brand new experience.
Uplå - Daytime or evening version. Two unique atmospheres to entertain you!
For entertainment that's out of the ordinary, we've added two unique Canadian venues to our agenda. First, Uplå, the largest outdoor trampoline park in North America.
👨👩👧👦 💲 🍽️
At Mont-Saint-Grégoire, it's easyto be amazed. A world suspended by nets, passages, and rebounds. During the day, it's bright, energetic, and perfect for letting children let off steam. In the evening, the experience becomes more spectacular, more "okay, that was a really special outing," as if you were entering a mini winter party.
Simple tip: Do it in two stages. One day uplå (day). Then, another day combine it with a quieter activity and a little dessert in town. You balance the energy levels of the whole family.
Ice fishing. The winter trip that becomes a story to tell.
If you're looking for an activity that will capture children's imaginations, ice fishing is one of those classics. There's something very ritualistic about it in Quebec. The hut. The lake. The silence. Then... the excitement and the shouts of young and old alike when they get a bite. It's an outing that's planned around the winter season, so it's ideal when you want to experience the season for real. 👨👩👧👦 💲
