Growing up and living in Montreal my whole life, you’d think I’d be used to the cold winters by now. Well, that isn’t exactly the case. Although I’m not used to the cold, I have figured out how to dress for winter in Montreal.
A rainy (or cold winter day) gives you the opportunity to enjoy some of the indoor activities Montreal has to offer. So here are 31 perfect Montreal indoor activities you can enjoy, rain or snow!

La Malbaie in the Charlevoix region is the perfect place for a weekend getaway from Montreal. It’s a quintessential small Quebec town to visit. Along the north shore of the St. Lawerence river, it’s a bit over a 4 hour drive from Montreal (about 2 hours past Quebec City).
The West Island of Montreal is, you guessed it, the west part of the Island. It’s filled with nature, unbeatable sunset views, and unique shopping experiences.
Visiting McGill’s Morgan Arboretum is a perfect way to spend a day surrounded by nature. It’s 245 acres of land filled with walking trails in the summer, cross country skiing in the winter, and don’t even get me started on the beautiful array of colours you’ll see in the fall!
The main highlight in Yamachiche is the nature park. Right off the highway, there’s a nature reserve that you can walk around and explore. It’s a true Québec hidden gem that’s definitely worth the trip to.
Tremblant is the perfect summer escape from Montreal. The main attraction here is the ski hill in the winter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t visit in the summer months. This was my family’s go to spot for summer vacations for years!
