This unique indoor zoo, displays and animals and vegatation from 4 distinct eco systems; tropical forest, Temperate northern forest (Local), Canadian Maritime, and polar. A great place to visit year round! Leave a Comment

Located in the Olympic Park literally a stone's throw away from the Olympic Stadium, the Biodome is one of those famous Montreal attractions that should be paid a visit to at least once, especially if you're an animal lover, or an ecosystem-enthusiast.
I honestly didn't know a whole lot about the biodome, and I wasn't sure what to expect. My immediate assumption was that it was a tropical garden conservatory, where maybe birds flew around, but that would be it, however I was wrong! There's so much more!
The biodome replicates various ecosystems, from the tropical rainforests of the Amazon, to the Laurentian boreal forest of Québec, to the St-Lawrence estuary, to the Antarctic.

Located in the old velodrome for the 1976 Olympics, right next to the Olympic Stadium.
It’s a zoo, it’s an aquarium, it’s a botanical garden and much more. It houses animals, plants and stuff in a ‘natural’ habitat. First you walk into a replica of a tropical forest with parrots and monkeys and things. Then it’s onto a Laurentian forest, then the st Lawrence marine Ecosystem, then the polar world-Arctic and Antarctic. A theatre for demos with raptors and such is in the middle.
It’s ok. If you’ve ever seen this elsewhere, it won’t be that impressive to you. Parrots on trees, otters swimming in water, beavers, etc…If you’ve never seen this kind of thing, go—if you have don’t waste your money.
Part of the museum pass. You’ll spend 1-3 hours here. Leave a Comment Address: 4777 Avenue Pierre de CoubertinPhone: 514-868-3000Directions: Metro: Viau. Get out, walk up the hill and towards the Olympic stadiumWebsite: www.museumnature.ca

 gear up for my advanture by pehsan
i had noo idea what this biodome was all about (okay.. i haven't done much research). went in puzzled, bought the tickets and walked in with a bunch of visitors, "WOW...""WAH..""OH MY.." was my expression!! i soo didn't expect the bidome to be a 4 season replica of what those seasons are in real life. there is the lush and humid Tropical Forest with all sorts of tropical birds and animals and fish, followed by laurentian forest (typical canadian forest), they even have a lynx, then the st. lawrence marine ecosystem (st-laurent is the big river that flows by montreal and many quebec cities), and ends with the polar worlds of the arctic and antarctic with penguins and other arctic animals.

 aquarium in Biodome by Blanula
The view from the tower is beautiful. Leave a Comment

This was sooo interesting! An actual ecological system with animals that can essentially roam about without cages. You walk through a curtain of heavy rubber strips (so the animals don't get out) and it was as if you entered another world. Birds flying about, ducks waddling on your path. The penguins didn't get a complete freedom but their environment looked rather comfortable! We saw a tropical forest, a marine system, an Arctic and Antarctic systems!
Opened from 9am - 5pm daily, extended hours during spring break and summer
Closed on some Mondays and holidays. Ticket prices vary depending on package and age.

 The Biodome by RTL by RafaelTheSecond
This is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, along with the Montreal Botanical Garden, Montreal Planetarium and the Montreal Insectarium.
The place is opened all over the year except the Insectarium which is something YOU MUST DO DURING THE SUMMER!
I think a visit to the Biodome is a great issue for the schools, as when I was there I saw these little cute kids getting to know the resources of their own lands!
