For two evenings this summer, the Aquatic Complex will turn into an open-air cinema where you can lounge in a giant inflatable tube and watch a film — all while floating in the pool under the stars.</p><p><span></span>You don't need to bring anything but a swimsuit. The park provides the floaties (and only theirs are allowed). There's also a snack bar on site with popcorn, drinks, and treats to give it that proper movie-night feel.</p><p>At only $10 a ticket for ages 14 and up and $5 for ages 3 to 13, it's cheaper than a night at the movies (and certainly a lot more unique).</p><p>Two films are on the schedule this summer: <em>1995</em>, a coming-of-age Quebecois classic by Ricardo Trogi, and <em>Flow</em>, a wordless animated adventure that recently won over audiences at film festivals.</p><p>So, whether you're looking for a fun date night idea or just want to drift your way through a good flick, this is one of those Montreal summer experiences that's probably worth planning around.</p><p>Just be sure to save the dates and <a href="https://parcjeandrapeau.logikpos.ca/subplate.aspx?lang=fr&utm_source=page&utm_medium=website&utm_content=ca_cinema_flottant" target="_blank">buy your ticket now</a> to be sure you get a seat.</p><h3>Floating movie nights at Parc Jean-Drapeau</h3><br/><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/C8VXHP1MSzX/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"> <div style="padding:8px;"> <div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div> </div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C8VXHP1MSzX/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_top">See on Instagram</a> </p> </div> </blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><p>Price: $10 (ages 14+), $5 (ages 3–13), free for kids under 3</p><p>When: July 8 & August 12, 2025 — Gates at 7 p.m., movie starts around sunset</p><p>Address: Parc Jean-Drapeau Aquatic Complex, Île Sainte-Hélène, Montreal, QC </p><p>Why You Need To Go: You can float in a pool, snack on popcorn, and watch a movie under the stars — all in one of Montreal’s most popular summer settings.</p><p>Tickets and info at <a href="https://www.parcjeandrapeau.com/fr/cinema-flottant-films-activite-plein-air-soiree-popcorn-friandises-complexe-aquatique-montreal/" target="_blank">parcjeandrapeau.com</a></p><p><em>Love this?
