BOOK ACTIVITY

Curling Experience, Montreal

5 Avenue Montgomery, Mont-Royal, Québec

Description

During the "Awesome Curling" or "Curling 4 Ever" experience, Nick or one of his colleagues takes a small group of customers on the ice equipped with brooms and sliders to discover the history, rules and practice of curling, a sport brought to Canada by Scottish emigrants. The high-level principle is rather similar to Lawn Bowling or Petanque with the difference that the trajectory of the stone sliders can be influenced by ice-sweeping teammates. Trivia: the Royal Montreal Curling Club was established in 1807 and is the oldest established sports club still active in North America.

Access & Transport

The venue is the Mount Royal Curling Club located at 5 Montgomery Avenue Town Mount Royal. The Université-de-Montréal metro station (blue line) is 2.5km away (30 mins walk) so it is best to drive there or share a taxi if coming as a group.

Instructions & Recommendations

For a full refund, you must cancel at least 24 hours before the experience’s start time.

Meta review

A popular activity on several platforms, barring the odd last-minute cancellation the feedback from customers is overwhelmingly excellent. They describe Nick (or other instructors) as fun, engaging and patient and the whole curling experience as entertaining and much more interesting than how it looks on TV. Practical tip: plan sufficient buffer time in case there is traffic on the way because the venue is in the suburbs.

Environmental & Social

Supports small, independent operators. No incremental carbon footprint

Conclusion

This experience makes for a fun afternoon on the ice, learning about a new game but also a sliver of Canadian culture. Quite a budget for a group/family but definitely something different that you'll enjoy and remember
