After unveiling three gigantic new sculptures that are free to visit this summer, Parc Jean-Drapeau is transforming their outdoor pool into an open-air movie theatre for two nights in July and August.
Grab your bathing suit and go: Parc Jean-Drapeau’s Aquatic Complex provides flotation devices, a locker room and a snack bar for movie theatre-inspired nibbles.
The floating cinema is open to cinephiles of all ages, where movie-lovers can watch a film from Parc Jean-Drapeau’s pool after dark while comfortably seated in an inflatable tube.
Time Out Tip: Don’t bring your own floaties—only the ones provided on-site are permitted.
