About

Cheap Fun Things To Do is a Montreal-area service that organizes budget-friendly activities for families. The concept is straightforward: they curate and run affordable entertainment options so you don't have to spend hours hunting for deals or free events across the city.

The types of activities rotate and can include everything from outdoor adventures to creative workshops. What makes this useful for visiting families is the local knowledge baked into the offerings. These aren't tourist-trap recommendations. They're the kind of things Montreal families actually do on weekends without breaking the bank.

Because the offerings change regularly, it's worth checking their website before you visit Montreal to see what's currently running. Some activities are seasonal, taking advantage of Montreal's distinct summer and winter landscapes.

The service operates out of the Saint-Laurent area but activities can take place across the greater Montreal region. Transportation to activity locations is typically your own responsibility, so factor in transit time when planning.

For families traveling on a budget, this is a useful resource to bookmark. Montreal can get expensive quickly between dining out and attraction admission fees, and having a pre-vetted list of affordable activities takes the stress out of planning. It's particularly handy during school breaks when you need to fill multiple days with different experiences without spending a fortune each time.
