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!

Where: Hangar 16, Old Port of Montreal, Clock Tower Pier

Railway Ghosts at Exporail( Saint Constant)

Like every year, before Halloween, ghosts, skeletons, bats, and spiders have taken over Exporail, the Canadian Railway Museum. They are even lurking in some of the vehicles. Beware! You never know who might sneak up on you in the Grand Gallery or what you might see floating through some of the train cars… Visitors will be greeted in a haunted train station atmosphere.

This activity allows families to rediscover the collection with a new perspective and in spite of the appearances, will put a smile upon visitors’ faces rather than scare them!

After discovering the largest collection of railroad equipment in Canada, visitors have the opportunity to take a ride on the outdoor miniature railway and the Exporail passenger train on Saturdays and Sundays.

Exporail delights visitors of all ages by operating a railway museum which is fun to experience, and educates and informs at multiple levels in both official languages. As the leading railway museum in Canada, it strives to be among the best in the world.

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!

Where: Hangar 16, Old Port of Montreal, Clock Tower Pier

Time: 11am to 6pm
