Tips for Family Day Weekend 2025: Your Essential Guide for the Ultimate Montreal Getaway

Planning to join us for Family Day Weekend 2025? Montreal awaits with all its charm, excitement, and endless ways to make memories. Get prepped with these insider tips to keep things fun, smooth, and unforgettable from the bus ride to the last day of your adventure!

1. Stock Up on Snacks and Entertainment for the Bus Ride

Long rides are way better with the right playlist, a few favorite shows, and a stash of snacks. Prep for the bus ride by downloading some offline content, making a snack pack (think granola bars, chips, and candy), and don’t forget your headphones! Pro tip: Travel games or card games can be a fun way to pass the time and connect with others.

2. Stay in the Know with Our Updates

We’ve got surprises, reminders, and insider tips coming your way, so keep an eye on your email and follow us on social media! This way, you won’t miss out on the latest about the schedule, cool activities, and must-know travel tips. Staying connected means you’ll be totally in the loop.

3. Map Out Your Montreal Bucket List

Montreal is full of things to see and do—from Old Montreal’s cobblestone streets and epic poutine spots to some seriously cool shops and art galleries. Before you go, make a list of your “musts.” That way, you can hit up all the best spots without the stress of last-minute planning. Start with places like Mount Royal for epic views or St. Catherine Street for great shopping. We’ll be providing a free city shuttle for you to use during your trip, so keep an eye out for the route so you can plan out your itinerary.

4. Keep the Essentials Handy

From portable chargers and water bottles to an extra cozy sweater, having a few essentials within reach is a lifesaver. Montreal weather can be a bit unpredictable, so layer up and pack smart. Don’t forget any medications or small toiletries you might need on the go!

5. Capture the Moments

Trust us—you’ll want to remember this trip! Make sure your phone or camera is ready to capture all the big (and small) moments. Share your highlights with us by tagging @Breakaway.Tours. You never know, your post might get featured!
