Parc Jean-Drapeau (Île Sainte-Hélène)
This is the family escape valve. A metro ride drops you on a car-light island where kids can run without traffic. There's the Plage Jean-Doré beach in summer, the aquatic complex, vast lawns, and La Ronde amusement park if you want the big day. The Biosphère dome is here too if you need an indoor pivot.
An island park with beaches, big open space, an aquatic complex, and an amusement park — one metro stop from downtown, and the kids can't get lost on a road.
