You’re flying over Old Port. With zip lines and aerial obstacle courses, Voiles en Voiles turns a Montreal visit into a real hands-on adventure. You’ll also have inflatable games and other activities nearby, so it’s not just about one adrenaline moment.

I love the fact that you’re not doing this solo. You get the safety gear (harness and helmet) and a patrol team on site, which makes the whole day feel structured even when you’re nervous at the start.

One heads-up before you go: there’s a strict no-phone rule on the aerial courses. You’ll need to use lockers, and if you don’t bring your own padlock there’s a $20 deposit for a rental.

Key things to know before you go

• Old Port views while you ride: you get a cityscape angle from up in the air.
• 2–4 hours of activity: your ticket time depends on the option you pick.
• Harness + helmet + patrol team: you get outfitted and supervised for the aerial parts.
• No cellphones on-course: plan for lockers and expect to keep your hands free.
• A mix of thrill and play: zip lines, aerial courses, inflatables, plus a few lower-height attractions.

Voiles en Voiles in Montreal’s Old Port: what you’re really buying

This admission ticket is for an aerial adventure day built around time in the air. You’re paying for access to the park’s main features: suspended obstacle courses, zip lines, and a full set of “stay active” options if you’re not on course at that exact moment. It’s set in Montreal’s Old Port area, so the setting feels like part of the experience, not just a backdrop.

What makes it a strong value is the mix. If your group includes different comfort levels, you can still spend the day together. The aerial attractions bring the big moments, while the ground activities (like inflatables) help you keep moving without forcing everyone to jump straight into the highest elements.

Another smart detail: you’re given safety gear. That matters because “adventure park” can sometimes feel like you’re responsible for everything. Here, the park provides a harness and helmet, plus a patrol team to guide you through what’s next.

Your 2–4 hour game plan: aerial courses, zip lines, and how time feels

Your ticket comes with between 2 and 4 hours of activity, depending on the type of ticket you purchase. That range is important because it affects how many times you’ll get back onto courses, and how relaxed (or rushed) the day feels.

In practice, I’d think of it like this:

• First, you get set up and start with a course that lets you build confidence.
• Then you move toward zip lines and higher obstacle lines as you feel comfortable.
• Finally, you use the remaining time for repeats, plus the non-aerial fun.

The aerial courses are the heart of it. They’re suspended and designed to test balance, agility, and focus. Expect a lot of “careful steps” rather than just speed. The zip lines are the obvious thrill, and the views from up there are a big part of why people leave talking about it long after.

If you’re coming for the thrill, you’ll love the zip line runs. If you’re coming for a challenge, you’ll likely enjoy the obstacle sections where your body has to work to move safely from one platform to the next.

Getting geared up: harnesses, helmets, lockers, and the no-phone rule

Arrive directly at Voiles en Voiles. The park is set up so you can show up with pre-booked tickets, and you’ll be able to skip the ticket line. That’s useful because the real bottleneck in places like this is usually the time between arriving and actually starting.

Before you go on course, you’ll get the safety equipment: a harness and helmet. A patrol team is there for support and to keep things running smoothly. You’ll also want to follow their guidance closely, because the goal is a safe experience that still feels fun.

Now for the part that can catch people off guard: cellphones are not allowed on the aerial courses. The park provides free lockers, but if you don’t have a padlock you can rent one on site. There’s a $20 deposit required by credit card or Interac, and it’s returned when you bring the lock back.

To make this easier on yourself, bring only what you truly need. Comfortable shoes and a reusable water bottle are smart basics. Sunscreen matters too, especially if you’re spending several hours outdoors.

On the ground: inflatables, carousel, and a climbing wall for downtime

The aerial parts are what everyone remembers, but the day gets better when there’s something to do between courses. Voiles en Voiles includes huge inflatable games, plus a carousel and a climbing wall. That matters for families and mixed groups because you can take breaks without feeling like you’re wasting money.

The inflatable games are especially good if you’re traveling with kids or anyone who wants action but isn’t ready for every aerial challenge. The climbing wall adds another “use your body” activity that doesn’t require you to be strapped into a harness.

This variety is one of the reasons the atmosphere works well for celebrations. One of the standout signals from the feedback: a birthday visit that clearly landed well for a nephew. That kind of day usually means people got to participate together, not just watch someone else do the hard stuff.

Scheduling it in your day: morning or afternoon, and how to plan your arrival

This admission is valid for one day. It’s usually available in the morning and afternoon, so you have some flexibility when you’re building your Montreal plan. If your day already includes Old Port walks, a cruise, or a city stroll, choosing the right time can keep things from getting stressful.

If you want the smoothest start, arrive with enough time to get set up without rushing. The park also asks you to complete an online risk acceptance form before your visit, and one unique form must be submitted per address. Doing that ahead of time helps your check-in move faster once you arrive.

Also plan for the fact that you’ll be putting away personal belongings. With the phone locked up and equipment worn, it helps to arrive already dressed for the day.

Price and value: is $45 worth it for what you get?

At $45 per person, this isn’t the cheapest thing on a Montreal day—but it also isn’t overpriced for what you’re receiving. You’re paying for supervised aerial time, not just entry into a general playground. Included safety gear (harness and helmet) and a patrol team reduce the hassle and uncertainty.

The value gets better when you’re a group. If everyone participates, you’re converting that ticket price into multiple activities: aerial obstacle courses, zip lines, and time-consuming outdoor play options. Because you’re guaranteed 2–4 hours depending on the ticket type, you’re not looking at a quick hit-and-leave activity.

Food and drink are not included, so factor that into your budget. Bring water if you can; you’ll want it. If you’re thinking about companions who won’t participate, there’s also an extra cost to plan for: companions need a discounted admission ticket of $4.99 plus taxes, while children aged 2 and under get free access to the site.

For a family, this price structure can feel fair when the day is shared and active. For a solo adult who’s only interested in one zip line, it might feel like more than you need—so match your expectations to the kind of day this is: a full activity block.

Who this is best for (and the one group that should skip it)

Voiles en Voiles is a great fit for people who like being active and don’t mind focusing on safety rules. It’s also a strong pick for families because there’s variety, so the day can include both adrenaline and lower-stakes fun.

It’s not suitable for people over 250 lbs (113 kg). That’s a clear cutoff, so if you or someone in your group is close to that limit, you’ll want to confirm fit with the park before booking.

Best match:

• Families with kids who want a mix of aerial fun and ground activities
• Adults who enjoy challenge and don’t need a rigid sit-down activity
• Groups where comfort levels vary, because not everyone has to do the same thing at the same moment

A quick practical checklist before you go

Here’s what I’d pack and wear to make the day smoother. If you do nothing else, do these.

• Comfortable shoes (no sandals or flip flops)
• Comfortable clothes that let you move
• Sunscreen
• Reusable water bottle
• Your phone left for later (because you’ll lock it up for the aerial parts)

Also, plan your paperwork. Complete the online risk acceptance form in advance using the link provided, and remember it’s one unique form per address.

Should you book a Voiles en Voiles admission ticket?

If you want an active Montreal day with big moments—zip lines, aerial obstacle courses, and a bunch of keep-moving extras—then yes, booking is a solid call. This is the kind of attraction where you come out tired in a good way, and it works for families because there’s enough variety to keep everyone engaged.

I’d skip or reconsider only if your group is mainly looking for a passive sightseeing day. This is a “put your hands on the experience” outing. And if the no-phone rule is a dealbreaker, you’ll need to decide whether you can handle locking your device away and enjoying the day without it.

If you’re on the fence, choose the ticket type based on your time. You’ll get the most satisfaction when you have enough hours to repeat what you liked and still have downtime for the inflatables and other activities.
