Bebe sorcière (in French only), directed by Jean-Francois Guilbeault based on the book of the same title, written by Lucie Papineau and illustrated by Steve Beshwaty, and presented in cooperation with Les Amis du Jardin botanique (the Friends of the Montreal Botanical Garden). At the Insectarium, have fun learning about the most ingenious tricks that spiders get up to through a variety of Spiders Unmasked activities.

Still lots of opportunities to play outdoors!
With the outdoor gardens aflame with fall colours, there’s no lack of opportunities to have fun at the Jardin botanique! Young children won’t want to miss the Little Monsters Courtyard, a Halloween-decorated area specially designed for running, jumping and scampering around, day or night. In the daytime, visitors strolling beyond the Japanese Garden will enjoy the immersive Nature is Your Shelter experience, a pathway lined with giant animal shelters. Plus, every evening until October 31, the cultural gardens will be aglow with the magnificent Gardens of Light event.
