Start your morning at 9:00 at the Sainte-Rose-de-Lima Church (219, boulevard Sainte-Rose), a landmark with a peaceful garden. Then walk 10 minutes to Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles (345, boulevard Sainte-Rose) for a 2-hour kayak rental (about $35) or a riverside stroll. Grab lunch at Café Saint-Rose (475, boulevard Sainte-Rose) around 12:30, where a hearty sandwich costs $12. In the afternoon, explore the historic houses along Boulevard Sainte-Rose and visit the small Musée de la Ville de Laval (same address) for local history (free entry, open 10:00-17:00).
🚌 Getting Around Laval
Laval's bus network (STL) is your main option; a single fare is $3.50, and a 24-hour pass costs $10.50. From Sainte-Rose to downtown Laval (metro Montmorency), bus 63 takes about 25 minutes. For day trips to the west side, allow 30-40 minutes by bus from the metro. Taxis and ride-shares are available but pricey; budget $20-30 for cross-island trips.
🍽️ Day 2: Downtown and Chomedey
Begin at 9:30 at the Cosmodôme (2150, autoroute des Laurentides) for a space museum visit (adult ticket $18, open 10:00-17:00). Take bus 42 to Chomedey (15 minutes) and have lunch at Restaurant Bombay Chomedey (1200, boulevard Curé-Labelle) for a $15 thali. In the afternoon, shop at Carrefour Laval (3003, boulevard Le Carrefour), then walk 10 minutes to the Centre de la nature (901, avenue du Parc) for a free botanical garden and petting zoo. Dinner at La Belle et La Bœuf (2000, boulevard Curé-Labelle) offers a hearty meal for about $25.
🏛️ Day 3: History and Culture
Start at 10:00 at the Musée Armand-Frappier (531, boulevard des Prairies) for a science and history exhibit (adult $10). Then take bus 27 to Vieux-Saint-Vincent (20 minutes) and explore the historic district, including the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul Church (150, boulevard des Laurentides). Lunch at Pizzeria No. 900 (2800, boulevard des Laurentides) serves wood-fired pizzas for $14-18. In the afternoon, visit the Centre d'interprétation de l'eau (12, rue Hotte) to learn about the region's water history (free, open 13:00-17:00).
🌳 Outdoor Highlights
Laval is full of green spaces; the Bois de l'Équerre (555, rue de l'Équerre) has 5 km of walking trails and is free to enter. For a longer hike, Parc de la Rivière-des-Mille-Îles offers 8 km of paths and bike rentals from $15 per hour. In summer, the beach at Parc des Prairies (325, boulevard des Prairies) is a local favorite, open 10:00-18:00 with free admission. Bring a picnic to save money, as on-site food options are limited.
đź’° Budget Tips
Expect to spend around $60-80 per day on food and activities if you mix free parks with one paid attraction. The STL 24-hour pass ($10.50) is worth it if you take more than three bus rides. Many museums have free entry on the first Sunday of the month, including the Musée Armand-Frappier. For cheap eats, look for lunch specials in Chomedey, where many restaurants offer $10-12 combos.
🌙 Evening Spots
For a relaxed evening, head to the Sainte-Rose waterfront promenade (rue du Bord-de-l'Eau) for sunset views, free and open until 23:00. In downtown Laval, Bistro Le Coq (1600, boulevard Le Corbusier) serves craft beers and snacks from $8, open until midnight on weekends. If you want live music, check the schedule at Salle André-Mathieu (475, boulevard de la Concorde), where tickets range from $25 to $50.

Solid plan, but double check the Centre de la nature hours before u go, I think the petting zoo closes earlier than the gardens.
