Biodome de montrèal Review

Very nice place, with the habitat of animals from different parts of the world and beautiful animals

It was a lovely spot, but really small and expensive. We had seen everything in an hour.

Interesting exhibits. Fun visit with a toddler. Got to see several animals up close. Restrooms and cafeteria are located between the exhibits, making it possible to break at any point.

Great place to learn and observe all types of animals. Great staff and really inexpensive prices.

We went as a couple last Friday with a reservation for 4pm. Having already visited the Biodome and following the renovations, I was left unsatisfied ... Yes, the addition of the footbridge is very interesting for the tropical wetland but of no interest for the boreal zone. I wish they had added animals to it instead of showing me the top of a maple tree. As for health measures, a real disaster; no indication for the direction of the visit which makes that many are against the current in the corridors and it is not to mention the number of times that I asked the other visitors to settle down a little to let us pass! Not very thrilled, luckily the entry price was reasonable ... I will unfortunately not be going back unless we introduce several new tenants!

Not much more than a large pet store. Extremely outdated!

Spectacular place and quite unique in its kind. However, it lacks a bit of news for the regulars.

nice design but no much animals to see apart from Penguins so good to visit if Penguins are your prime target

Perfect for family rainy days. We saw several animals and the kids loved it. The price is a little high for a family of 5 but it is worth it ... in addition there is a focus on animals in Quebec.

Fantastic experience that does its best to put you right into the animals natural habitats.

Perfect for the whole family, kids will enjoy walking and discovering animals.

Very nice since de renovation. We. Can now see the beauty of the architecture

A good place to visit when you have kids, especially during rainy/snowy days. It is a nice place but not that spectacular enough to go back and see it again (I have seen better domes). You can spend a good hour or so inside the Biodome. Parking fee was flat rate $18 (underground parking) and about $20 tickets if you are a non-Quebec resident.

My daughter definitely enjoyed her close encounter with the penguins.

Our experience here was amazing. This is located in one of the Olympic arenas, it is so awesome to see an Olympic village being out to such good use. As you go through the biodome you travel through different climates; jungle, desert, etc and you get to experience the animals and climates of each one.

Beautiful area. You have to expect to see a lot of people there.

There are a lot of animals and the price is low, so you can buy a package here.

A must if you are coming to Montreal. Very well maintained and animals look like they are enjoying the habitat that was re-created for them

Always a pleasant experience and I can't wait to see what it will look like after the renovations !!!!

Very fun and informative on different ecosystems Lots of wholesome fun for the whole family

They are closed now for renovations. They should write this message in the web.

The Biodome is a an indoor zoo and it's a great place to go whether you are bring a young family or even as a couple of adults. It's not too large so honestly you can buzz through it in 2 hours if you really want to, but most times we like to take our time and spend 3-4 hours taking our time and enjoying the indoor zoo like atmosphere.

With the recently reopened BioDome, visited recently with my family and very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the exhibits, and the friendliness of the staff.

Will be back, ready to explore more

Sadly close for renovation. Good place to see different climate with tree and animals.
Great for kid

Nice zoo with interesting information about the present animals and flora. Good for kids.

I didn't expect I'd be out after 30 minutes. The most interesting animals were hiding and I can't blame them. Place is cramped and feels dated. Not worth the while. A terrible disappointment.

visited today .Friendly staff, very clean, well-organized for Covid 19.Recommended for all.

Interesting for children, avoid crowded days, not enough space to stop and watch without hindering visitor flow, and the sub-polar area is too small. Otherwise the visit was very pleasant and informative, and nice initiative for the mobile application to make the visit interactive.

This is another one of the exhibits you can visit while you are in the Olympic park area. It is basically a zoo/aquarium. The exhibits are cool, but totally not worth the price tag. The only positive is if you make a whole day out of it you only have to pay for parking once. As soon as you open the door you can smell the funk of the animals.

Good place to have fun (go on googleplay and amazon andresearch (Nathapps) for free Android applications.

Such a neat place, way better than a zoo as you get to walk in the habitats. Hi lights include otters beavers and a lynx with cubs.

The biodome was really cool I like seeing the Penguins one of them even followed me

Great way to spend half a day, especially with kids. They'll love running around looking at all the creatures.

It does get busy however depending on the day.

Decent place. Could be bigger. Would be nice if they opened later than 5 pm on weekends.

Great renovations, on the other hand having to go through the application to get information and not to have small signs describing the animals ... Bof ...

Do not miss. Certainly a bit expensive (like everything in Montreal) but so atypical. Attention affluence to a direct impact on the pleasure you will have to observe nature. A tip: take your time, animals are often hidden.

Aside from COVID-related signage, there are no information boards on the various "inhabitants" of the various ecosystems. We must rely on the downloadable app or a printed booklet that must be obtained at the information desk.

Our family loved it. The kids were fascinated by the habitats. I just wished there was more for the entry price tag. We were done faster than expected. Penguins were great :)

Loved seeing feeling and learning recommend to everyone

Went for the first time in many years, was very disappointed. Very little of each animal, 1 very scared and unhealthy looking lynx, and they let in way too many people, could barely move.

Kind of wish I could rate zero stars.
My car was broken into when while we were there after paying for parking...in a lot with a security guard. Spent two hours inside and came out to a smashed window.
It was warm in the penguin exhibit when we went in May. Poor things. I'd hate to think what it was like it the dead of summer.

The artificial environment is definitely a must go place for Montreal tourists

Good for a family outing, need a small facelift to compete with other major cities of the world

Very pricey for such a small location that you can go through it within an hour.

Quick to go around, but the guides are interesting.

Unique indoor environment, showing nature in own way

Incredible experience, you get to see many different environments and cute animals

after long time renewal is finally ready..I spent a great time with my 6 years son. online ticketing due to covid visit is limited. book online and choose the day and hour availables. the only thing I didn't like was it's become interactive for descriptions you will have to use your phone for explanation of animals and plants....me I prefer old style with info panels near to each species. not too long tour either......

One of my favor place in the city. Visited many many times

Wow the renovations !!!! And finally being able to see above the trees is incredible Excellent job to the architects

Just loved to know a little bit more about different biomes. It worth the visit.

Pavilions were great. Animals seem well taken cared of. Very educational and staff was informative.

It is very good for children to learn more about our animals, but for adults or teenagers its a bit boring.
First, there is a lack of animals, they need to renovate the penguin place, a small rectangle of nothing at all, lacking in color. In short, it's not the best.

Correct price, it's pretty well thought out and the diversity is amazing. Little crush on the jungle; that said if we think of animals, we will want to avoid endorsing crocodiles and lynx in such small enclosures

This is where we generally take our grandchildren to visit. They always want to come here. We also enjoy it. The only thing I don't like is that this is really a zoo.

Beautiful place to go with children, you can find a nice variety of canadian animals

The sloth is the MF OG!
On a serious note though, pass through if you want to spend a day full of learning about nature and seeing cute animals.
Admissions prices could be lowered in my opinion.

Great place to experience different climates and animals of the world.

It is in my opinion one of the most beautiful places to visit in the Montreal region. The animals are free so it is easier to observe their behavior. Also I find that their quality of life is infinitely better than More

After being closed for a few years I expected more. I am disappointed to see so few animals as well as birds to look for them ... and it is confusing to know where we are in the routes between the biospheres. Anyway I'm not interested in going back.

Montreal Biodome is one of the greatest legacies of the complicated Olympic Games of 1976. The city plunged in huge debt which took years to recover, but left beauties as this place, which for sure is worth to visit, especially if you have kids. You'll appreciate various ecosystems. It's a pleasant place to go!

Awesome place to visit! Very educative and the layout of the environments makes it very interesting to go through.

I can only recommend the Biodome. You get to see many animals in their habitats and go through different climate zones yourself. The large aquarium is also impressive.
