Montreal's 'Aquazilla' Floating Obstacle Course Is Now Open

Will this be the summer you FINALLY conquer it?
Senior Writer

Montreal's nearly impossible floating obstacle course is back. Aquazilla reopened at Parc Jean-Drapeau on June 23 — and maybe this will be the summer you FINALLY beat it.

The good news is, even if you wipe out, it's probably the most fun you can have while failing at something this summer. So why not plan a Montreal beach day at Plage Jean-Doré and give it a shot?

The Aquazilla website describes it as a 30-by-35-metre "inflatable structure comprised of obstacles, slides and platforms for jumping into the water, and much more." It even has a water trampoline! 

While the obstacle course is approved for ages 6 and up, MTL Blog's Alex Melki — who's very much an adult —  tried it out in 2019 and described it as "way harder than I expected." 

Aquazilla is open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and costs $15 per adult for one hour or $26.75 per adult for a day pass.

Aquazilla reopens for summer 2021 

Price: $15 per adult for one hour or $26.75 per adult for a day pass plus beach access fees 

When: Starting June 23 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Address: Jean-Doré Beach - 151, circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, QC

Why You Need To Go: Perfect if you get bored suntanning on the beach. Put your obstacle course skills to the test. Even wiping out is fun!
