Hang your Christmas stocking!

» Château Ramezay - Musée et site historique de Montréal

Only the Château Ramezay offers this activity! Children can hang a Christmas stocking by the fireplace and come back in the New Year to see what Santa has left them! (But they’d better be good!)

Stockings are on sale for $10 + tax. They can be picked up from the January 2.
