Tips for an Unforgettable Summer Afternoon at Centropolis

The summer heat and beautiful weather have finally set in, so it’s officially the season of vacation, ice cream and all kinds of new discoveries. Summer is the perfect time to fill your mind and camera with great memories. Need some inspiration to entertain your troops? Here are our suggestions for a festive afternoon in Centropolis that will delight young and old alike. And as a bonus, we’ve included a few options to end the day on a sweet note!

Start with something that’s out of the ordinary…

To break the routine and get your vacation off to a good start, there’s nothing better than a family activity as a little escape for an afternoon! Since summer is meant to be on the water, water sports enthusiasts will love to ride the waves at Maeva Surf. Whether it’s your first time surfing or not, their instructors will guide you through this refreshing sport. Book your package for an afternoon of great fun!


Want to try something exciting that will get your adrenaline pumping? Get your thrills at iFLY, the indoor freefall simulator. Thanks to this unique experience in Eastern Canada, you will have the chance to experience the same sensations as a skydiver, but in a perfectly safe environment. Would you dare?


Or rather, are you looking for a magical experience that will amaze the entire family? Come and discover free-flying butterflies in Bfly’s aviaries. This brand-new attraction is running at Centropolis until September 5. Watch the butterflies in the four domes, learn from the educational and inspirational videos, and take a break in different refreshment areas. Let yourself be amazed with your family! Magical moments are guaranteed.

Then, treat yourself to a refreshing surprise

Feeling a little low on energy after enjoying those activities at Centro? Quick, you’ll need an iced coffee to recharge your batteries and put a smile on your face! We love the wide variety of caffeinated beverages offered at Presse Café. Would you rather have a gourmet iced coffee, or maybe even a dessert? Go to Juliette & Chocolat for a sweet treat. We especially love their speculoos and caramel iced coffee!


And since summer is ice cream season, why not indulge in a frozen yogurt, topped to your liking, at Menchie’s? The plethora of delicious toppings available will definitely get your mouth watering!


If your family has diversified tastes when it comes to refreshing snacks, you’re sure to find something for everyone at Crêpinos. Smoothies, milkshakes, iced coffees and lemonades are just some of the options! Maybe you’ll be tempted by their delicious square crepes?

Extend your special day by bringing some candy home

After your fun-filled getaway at Centro, there’s nothing better than taking home some candy to stretch the fun of your day! Why not try the all-new Kandju candy bags? Perfect for sharing, these new sizes are not only ultra-cute, but are also sold in a fully recyclable packaging. We love it! Take advantage of your visit to discover their summer collection or to make your own selection of treats to take home!


We wish you a memorable and perfectly sweet summer!
