Expo 67, Montreal, Canada 1967 – page 1

Expo 67 (the abbreviated title of the Universal and International Exhibition of 1967) was open from April 28 to October 27, 1967 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The site consisted of two islands and a peninsula in the middle of the St. Lawrence River. The admission ticket was referred to as a passport.   Single-day, seven-day and season passports were sold. When purchased at the expo a single day passport was $2.50 for adults and $1.25 for children; seven day passports were $12.00 for adults; and season passports were $35.00 for adults. All passports entitled the holders to free entry to all pavilions as well as unlimited use of the mass transit system — Expo-Express. Pages in the passport could be filled with “visa stamps” at the various National Pavilions.

The following old postcards of Expo 67 provide a great visual look back at 1967.  A map of Expo 67 with the locations of the Pavilions can be found on the next page.
