Here is what Montreal Tips thinks are the best Indoor activities to do in Winter:

There are so many great things about living in Montreal. One of the best is all the amazing activities available, year round. No matter what your family’s interests or ages, you are sure to find something to keep everyone happy, active, entertained and WARM this winter!

1 - Biodome

You know those particularly chilly winter days when you can feel the cold right down to your bones and there isn’t a Snuggy known to man that could warm you up? Wouldn’t you rather be in a tropical rainforest on those days? Head to the Biodome where the very first exhibit is literally a rainforest! Seeing the animals and watching them play in their natural habitats is great family fun. But that first step into the tropics, as the warmth and humidity washes over you, is heaven to Canadians in winter.
