The dome is next to the Olympic Stadium complex. It is a zoo and has 4 different areas of attraction- a zoo, botanical garden, tropical and polar environments. It costs around 11 Canadian and would take 2-3 hours to see the sites and animals.

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.
Please check out my travelog for more Biodome photos.

I loved this exhibit. The building is a bit old and doesn't look like much on the outside. The exhibits are grouped by region and have mostly aquatic and aviarian exhibits. But they are very open planned and the birds get to fly around. They also have an arctic exhibit with Penguins which was very cute. There are some mammels in the exhibits as well. It took me about an hour to see. Ticket alone is $12, or you can combine prices for other things in the Olympic park. Leave a Comment Directions: Olympic Parc

An oasis in the heart of the city, the Montréal Biodôme recreates some of the most beautiful ecosystems of the Americas. A center for education, conservation, and biological research the Biodôme structure itself is another engineering materpeice. Tours range from $12-20 CAD and are well worth the cost. Address: At the Olympic Village complex

The Biodôme gives back to Nature
The Biodôme's conservation activities, governed by the most stringent international standards for animal and plant health, aim to preserve its live collections while safeguarding the natural environment. The institution participates in a number of national and international conservation programs set up to prevent the extinction of endangered species and encourage their re-introduction into the natural environment.
Current programs focus on the following animal species:
Vulnerable or endangered species in Québec
Behind the scenes
A never-ending challenge
The Biodôme houses thousands of animals and plants, huge collections that are closely monitored at all times. Our teams must take inventory, schedule feedings, water plants, nurse sick animals and sometimes even stay up all night when a birth is expected. Some species are also protected by specific conservation programs.
In fact, most of the professionals at the Biodôme are involved in caring for our "guests": veterinarians, horticulturists, biologists, animal attendants, technicians, dieticians and cooks.
Launching of a network of acoustic bat inventories in Quebec
insect-eating bats of Québec, whose roosting places are disappearing;
the striped bass, a fish that has disappeared from the St. Lawrence Estuary;
the copper redhorse, a fish endemic to the Richelieu River and threatened with extinction;
Endangered species in the South American tropical forest
the hyacinth macaw, the world's largest parrot and an endangered species;
the golden lion tamarin, a small monkey whose tropical habitat in Brazil is disappearing rapidly.
Conservation and research programs are also in effect for certain plants:
wild leek;
american ginseng;
broad beech fern.

On our trip across Canada we visited the famous Biodome which was well worth it. With species of fish, birds, penquins and other animals set in the forest. You can have ear phones to guide you around the dome with all the information which is very interesting. Leave a Comment

It is very possible, specially in Montreal where they found a very confortable home! to be more precise you will find them if you visit the Biodome de Montreal, there are much more to see over there!
