A friend of mine suggested that we visit the Exporail, otherwise known as the train museum, on Montreal’s South Shore in St-Constant.  It was a hit!

Do you have any other ideas for great days out in the Montreal area or have you ever been to the train museum?

Originally from the prairies and now in Montreal, I love exploring new places, eating great food and modern design. I'm mom of two wild things and paper and cake make me happy. Photographing your cutie family would make me very happy.
