How long does the experience last?
The AURA Experience is approximately 40 minutes long, divided into two parts: an open exploration of illuminated stations and an immersive multimedia experience. Doors open 30 minutes before the scheduled time of the event.
Can I take pictures during the performance?
Taking photos and videos is forbidden during the representation. This way, you will be able to live The AURA Experience to its fullest and offer the same opportunity to other spectators.
Are food or drinks allowed in the Basilica?
No. Eating or drinking inside the Basilica is forbidden.
Is it possible to visit the Basilica before or after the performance?
As the performances take place at the end of the day, it is not possible to visit the Basilica after the show. However, it is possible to visit the Basilica during its daily opening hours and return in the evening to see AURA.
Are seats assigned for the seated portion of the show?
There are no assigned seats; this is a general admission performance. No matter where you view the experience from, it is equally impressive. We do not recommended that you arrive more than fifteen minutes in advance, as this does not offer any advantage and you will have to wait outside, rain or shine.
Can children take part in the experience?
Yes, the AURA experience is suitable for all audiences, including children. It should be noted, however, that some of the visual and sound effects can be overwhelming for younger children. We recommend that you protect toddlers’ ears with earphones or noise-reducing headphones. Laser visual effects are not recommended for babies.
Is the AURA experience accessible to people with reduced mobility?
Yes: Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal is rated as partially accessible by Kéroul.
