By car
From Montreal: Autoroute 15 (Autoroute des Laurentides) takes you directly into the centre of Laval. Autoroute 13 takes you to the western part of Laval, including the "Chomedy" area. You can also take a bridge to Laval via boulevard Curé-Labelle or avenue Papineau. The bridges to Laval can have very heavy traffic during evening rush hour. A toll bridge to eastern Laval via Autoroute 25 in the east end of Montreal is scheduled to open in October 2011.
By subway
As of April 2007, the city of Laval is connected to Montreal by the orange line of the metro at 3 stations: Cartier, de la Concorde and Montmorency. Parking is available, but be sure to arrive early in the morning on weekdays.
By train
Train service from Montreal is provided by the Agence Metropolitain de Transport (AMT), which operates two lines to Laval (one to the centre of the Laval, the other to the western tip.)
By bus
Although the metro system now extends to Laval, it is still possible to get to Laval via the "old" method of getting off at Henri-Bourassa metro station in Montreal and taking the Laval bus across the bridge to Laval.

Recreatheque
A package for the children of years old and under which includes the Bananazoo, the Himalaya Jet Ride unlimited, 1 game of Minigolf and 1 game of small-pin Bowling.
laval park
This is a very nice park along the river; you can rent small boats/canoe/kayak and explore hundreds of islands on this calm river; you will encounter a lot of wildlife, including large birds, turtles, ducks, fish, eel, etc; I recommend the "Bayou", a place to navigate in a kayak/canoe in a swamp-like atmosphere, without the aligators.
January - March
October - December
