During spring break, Pointe-à-Callière invites families to enjoy a free cultural adventure inspired by the exhibition  “Sherlock Holmes: Cracking the Case”.

Spring Break on the Pointe offers an immersive experience where science, history, and heritage come together in a large-scale, playful investigation designed for both kids and adults.

Outdoors, every day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the museum’s forecourt transforms into a true investigation site. Young and old alike are invited to solve a mystery by completing a series of five interactive challenges, guided by experts. In addition, heated rest areas with chairs and propane fire pits, along with a food truck offering hot drinks and sweet treats, round out the experience. 

Indoors, the experience continues in a warm and welcoming atmosphere with a daily storytime at 11:30 a.m., inspired by the tales of Sherlock Holmes. Starting at noon, families can also enjoy board games and a daily film screening for even more fun. Enjoy a friendly, cultural, and family-focused spring break in the heart of the historic district!

SDC Vieux-Montréal is proud to support Spring Break on the Pointe as part of its Program to Support the Cultural Offerings of Old Montreal.
