We didnt know what to expect from the Olympic Park, but as it appears in all the tourist guidebooks thought we'd head out there. First off, we were charged $15 just to park the car (rip-off!), then when we got out to wander around it simply wasn't at all obvious what there was to see/do or where to go! No... More

The Olympic Stadium is very different, architectually. It is actually quite a beautiful building, despite it's bad reputation for being expensive to build and a couple pieces of concrete falling off. The Montreal Expos used to play here. There are some great shows and exibits here. Unfortuately located in Eastern Montreal, so not easy to access for everyone. Can get... More

The Olympic stadium is huge and very impressive with its never before seen construction but if you are not visiting with small children I found little to hold the interest of Adults. An interesting place to see and maybe explore but not worth a full day or more in my opinion More

Lots of green spaces for walking and biking. It also hold a great olympic size (of course) swimming pool. On these grounds you also have the Biodome and (soon) the new Planetarium. You also have the pro? semi-pro? Saputo soccer stadium. As you can see, I am not a huge soccer fan... More

We spent time here after going to the Botanic Garden. The park, along with Olympic Stadium and the observation tower, are nice examples of Modern architecture, although now look a bit dated and worn out. Views from the tower were spectacular and worth the trip. More

This is a must see when visiting Montréal. The ride up to top on the 45• degree angled path of the cable car is itself an experience. At the top one can marvel at the Montréal landscape, with buildings clearly marked on an overhead picture. One also gets a breath taking view of Mont Royal. Don't miss the simple yet... More

We thought that this would be cool considering the olympics were held here- but we were very wrong. We got there and were the only tourists there- the people working there didn't speak english, the price to go up in the observatory seemed to be expensive and a waste of money, and the tours were only held a few times...
