SOS Labrynthe (Montreal)
The Old Port of Montreal’s Hangar 16 is over 105 years old! SOS Labyrinthe celebrates this historical icon throughout its theming.
According to our legend… In 1942, two young apprentices named Stevie and Mayday start working as longshoremen at Hangar 16. They spend their lives moving and storing tons of cargo and merchandise.
As years go by, the Hangar 16 longshoremen witness many historic events about Montreal and the St. Lawrence River… And they collect many objects related to these historic moments, objects they lovingly call the treasures of the longshoremen.
When Hangar 16 closes down in the 1970s, Stevie and Mayday become its day-and-night watchmen and permanent occupants… And with the passage of time, they are completely forgotten! But they have not forgotten their treasures of the longshoremen, and they want you to know about them and their stories.
Now over 90 years old, our two mischievous companions have transformed Hangar 16 into a gigantic maze very hard to navigate, full of challenges and dead-ends.
And each summer, they select 4 objects from the treasures of the Longshoremen and challenge you to find them!

Gardens of Light (Montreal)
An ode to the Moon
30 years of magic for the Gardens of Light event.
Universal beacon that has guided human beings since the dawn of time, the Moon is the light that ushers you while you discover the Gardens of Light.
Begin your visit guided by the wolves’ howling and the moonlight. Let yourself be drawn to the poetry of the Japanese Garden, which transforms into a vast canvas on which autumn falls. You’ll then be greeted by the magic of the First Nations Garden on an immersive and poetic journey to the heart of the seasons of life, together with the spirits of the river, fire, forest and wind. Finally, like a last pirouette, the Chinese Garden lights up : its hundreds of lanterns whisper the legend of Pangu, the giant who created the world. These immersive and sensory experiences combine art, science, technology and emotion.
