Here are some of my top picks for a great time at Centropolis!

At Centropolis, you’ll have plenty to choose from. For the nostalgic, head to Jukebox Burgers, where you can enjoy delicious burgers in a retro 50s decor. The music, bright colours and friendly atmosphere will transport you to another time. If you prefer to share tapas with friends, the Babacool is the perfect spot, with its warm atmosphere and shareable meals. This restaurant offers a variety of exquisite bite-sized dishes, ideal for a relaxed evening with friends. Their exotic cocktails are a must. As an added bonus, you’ll have a direct view of the Place Centrale’s beautiful fountain and its live entertainment!
For a sweet treat, stop by Menchie’s and create your own frozen yogurt combination. With a wide selection of flavours and toppings to choose from, you can create your own personalized dessert. Menchie’s is perfect for a refreshing break on a hot summer’s day.
Feel like experiencing the world without leaving town? Centropolis offers several restaurants that will take you on a journey around the world with their exotic flavours. Discover Asian, Italian, or Mexican cuisine, and much more. For an authentic Italian culinary experience, visit Enoteca Monza. This restaurant offers an elegant atmosphere and traditional Italian dishes, prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. For a Mexican culinary adventure, try Carlos & Pepe’s, where vibrant flavours and spicy dishes will take you straight to the heart of Mexico. For a journey to Asia, Mikasa Sushi Bar & Yakiniku will transport you to Japan with its selection of specialty sushi dishes.
This summer, Centropolis invites you to join in its summer programming, "Summer Rhythms of the World". Several events await you, including outdoor concerts, dance performances, and cultural workshops. These activities have been planned to appeal to all ages and interests. Don’t miss the Mosaïque Festival, which takes place at Centropolis from August 15 to 18. This festival celebrates cultural diversity through artistic performances and offers activities for the whole family. Enjoy traditional dance performances, world music concerts and interactive workshops. My dear friend Anne-Lovely Étienne will be acting as spokesperson for this 4th edition.
Mother Nature can throw us a curve ball sometimes… which is why Centropolis offers a wide range of indoor activities to entertain the whole family.
Whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation, Centropolis has something for everyone. For those who like a challenge, why not try the S.Cape escape game and test your puzzle-solving skills? This activity is ideal for groups of friends or families looking for an immersive and stimulating experience.
If you prefer a quieter time, spend an evening at Cinéma Cineplex Laval watching the latest blockbusters. The cinema offers comfortable rooms and high-quality projections, perfect for a relaxing outing. For a playful alternative, try Putting Edge, a modern glow in the dark miniature golf course where you can spend a fun evening with family and friends. Children can also enjoy butterflies roaming free with Bfly. Take advantage of the aviary, under four giant domes, to learn more about these beautiful, colourful insects. In addition to the on-site movie screen, you can enjoy this year’s new attractions with a giant maze and inflatable play structures.
For thrill seekers, why not try a sixty-second freefall with IFLY? This activity, suitable for ages three and up, will give you the feeling of flying like a bird. If you’re more of a climber, Clip’n Climb offers a range of climbing tracks, whether you’re a beginner or an expert.
In addition to its many attractions, Centropolis also offers great promotions so you can make the most of your summer without breaking the bank. Every day, some of our restaurants offer special promotions, perfect for a midweek outing. Check the Promotions section of Centropolis’ website regularly to discover all the latest offers and make sure you don’t miss out on any deals.
Have a great summer at Centropolis!
