Biodome de montrèal Review

Better than a zoo or museum but still aimed at the younger crowd. Tropical walk through, forest walk through, aquariums, shore walk through. Fun day.

There are three main area in the Biodome - Tropical, the Ocean, and Antarctica. The entrance fee is ~$20 or less if you decide to visit 2+ associated venues (botanical garden and planetarium). Great place to visit on a rainy day. You won't spend an awful lot of time in there, but it's worth a visit to see the variety of animals. Also it's very comfortable to walk around.

Biodome is an awesome place to take kids... or adults... very cool exhibits..

A very good place to visit with a kids.
It's interesting and very positive!

This is a wrong tag
The photo provided was Biosphere ,not Biodome

Not impressive at all, very few animals. May be as big one section of Toronto zoo.

Excellent place to feel outside the city life of Montreal, something small but with interesting animals. It is a place for children from 4 to 13 years.

Biodome is closed for improvements and will not be open until fall of 2019.

Creatures from the Americas (North and South) from different ecosystems living under one roof. We pass through the rainforest, the climate weather, the polar area. Great place for animal lovers, locals and tourist. Usually takes between 1h30 to 2h30 if you take more of your time. Very popular for kids, so go in the weekdays if you want to take more your time. Also, in the basement there is some display of creatures and of taxidermied creatures that is worth the detour.

Sidenote: can combo this place with the planetarium and/or with the botanical garden. Great places to spend the day.

Such an underwhelming experience and an absolute waste of money - $21 for visitors outside Montreal is a lot. If not for the cute beaver or the macaws, I might have just walked out. The exhibits looks nothing but empty. Especially the sea exhibits. They could definitely do much better than this. Worst of all, there was no information near each exhibit in the venue. We later learned about the app we could download to learn about each species in the exhibit.

Wouldn t recommend this place!

Really fun as a place. A little too busy on a Saturday

Lovely indoor environment for different animals. The tropical rainforest feels exactly like Brazil. I know. I've been there.

Doesn't live up to the hype. Lots of sass at front desk. Penguins were cool.

Was alot of fun the place is really cool. There aren't that many animals to see. The whole place only took us about an hour to go through but it was really fun.

So much fun! Great place for the whole family! Watch out for the killer birds though

Olympic stadium and dome that can open and close by electronic power.

Because it's really pretty and extraordinary once inside a

Beautiful variety of plants and animals, reasonable price

Well worth the money. There was 4 biomes to see with many exhibits inside each one. my favourite part was looking at the huge stergens

I went there with my bf as a date. We both enjoyed it a lot but it's still a more family friendly place. I have to say nothing actually amazed me. But the whole design as five different biological environments is very cool. Beavers are really cute, and they provide visitors different angles to observe the animals. Worth going.

The place is beautiful, with a lot of nature and vegetation but I expected more, the biodome can be easily traveled in 1 hour calmly and without trouble. There comes a time when you cross a door and you realize that everything is over, and a strange sensation occurs because due to the size one would expect even more, but anyway it is a super nice experience if you are a fan of zoos.

Our children loved the animals living in indoor versions of their natural habitat. Parrots flying around, otters playing in the water, bats in a cave, schools of fish, you name it!

This place is just awesome. My kids enjoyed the variety of animals here and the penguins are adorable though the arctic area may not be as big and also you can see the Olympic Stadium which you can view during the elevator ride.

Great place for the kids, especially if it's too hot to visit the gardens

The places are well reproduced. There are description sheets which are interesting to learn a little more about various species. Well maintained . Use sympathetic and smiling.

This is a good place to go and spend an afternoon.
This isn't awesome but stay cool to see and discover some animals here.

We really enjoyed our visit to the biodome! So many things to see and do. Would definitely come back again when visiting Montreal.

Absolutely wonderful place, a chance to see wild life up close and in their environment. Would definitely come back!

Very amazing. Every parent should take their children there. A whole day packed with fun and knowledge.

Really cool
Go here in winter to breath a bit of counterfeit tropical air (a good counterfeit)

A really fun and beautiful way to learn and interact with animals from all kinds of environments.

Great place to take kids and learn a few things.

Simulateneously tranquil and engaging.

I just look only here at google and I am amazed all the new image of the botanical my last seen was last 1993 since then we look it back,now because it's summer and St.Jhon d Baptists we are planning to see today...here we comes Montreal!

blah ... not too interesting, not a zoo, not an aquarium, not a garden, in fact I do not know what I look ... pity it is yet an icon of the city of montreal

From the outside it looks magnificent and the steep entrance fee adds to the high expectation but once inside I was disappointed due to the limited number of displays and things for kids and adults to do. It (Biodome) is basically a small zoo and a small aquarium combined inside a HUGE building.

We had a group ticket for all attractions (Botanical Garden, Biodome and Planetarium) The Planetarium was the biggest disappointment. Displays are worth about 20 minutes and the two shows were mediocre at best. The interesting thing was you can watch the show laying on a bean bag on the floor (kids and some parents in the group fell asleep during the show)

Saw the Botanical garden and Insectarium last (may be the expectation was low by then) but liked it.

An indoor zoo with many plants and animals. Interesting to see the different eco systems found within the Americas.

It's a microzoo which features multiple seasons. Worth the money to look at the different habitats. Wish there was more on how it is maintained yet as-is, enjoyed the experience.

Must see places in Montreal. The Wildlife on display is just amazing. Anaconda, Macau and Penguins are just a few to mention.

Beautiful view, staff is very friendly and helpful, def worth the price

Impressive place where they maintain different ecosystems of tropical and temperate climates, highly recommended to visit.

The visit to the new biodome seemed shorter than before the renovations. In addition, it seems to have less cash than before and the mezzanines are not suitable for strollers. We did the tour in 30 minutes. Do it once, but not twice.

Touristy. Perfect for children. Not much different from most nature centers. Educational. The surrounding area has much of the same to offer.

Simply put: in more than 20 years, the biodome has not changed for me. The experience of my childhood comes back to me every time I return and I look forward to sharing this experience with my children one day!
Each person I meet who is never going, I make it my mission to bring them. It is one of our most beautiful Quebec wonders that must be shared with family and friends!

Many kinds of animals, you can take the time you want to admire them. You can visit rain or shine because it's inside.

Good precautions for covid and overall a very intersting place to visit

Cheaper for locals, but still worth the price for visitors. A lot more to the dome than I expected, but getting around is a little confusing.

Every detail is beautiful, wear fresh clothes there are parts with a lot of heat

Amazing place to experience the diversity of Canadian environments and wildlife.

This is a must see in Montreal and I strongly encourage it for families.

We saw the penguin show, which was entertaining and educational.

If you love nature this is a must see.

Easy access from the metro too.

This was the first time we had went to a place like the Biodome. The animals inside were fun to look at. I just wish the admission price was a bit cheaper. But I like to think that the admission cost helps care for all the animals and the building maintenance. The place is kept clean and the staff was nice. One thing they should have are hand sanitizer stations.

Excellent place without a doubt that you can not miss if you are in Montreal, it has an affordable cost not so expensive for the quality and price, I recommend it without any doubt

Magnificent. Full of animals. My son was captivated by the fish. Souvenir shop a bit expensive, we looked at the books we wanted and found them cheaper on amazon.

They took a 2+ ticket (it s more profitable, you can visit 2 places at a nice cost, there are 3+, but to be honest I don t remember what was there 3). Together with the Biodome we visited the Planetarium. You can get around the Biodome in an hour and a half, considering everything in detail. There are a variety of fauna from the tropics to the marine environment. Artificial natural environment is so realistic and maximally created that you cannot believe your eyes. The seagull may whistle above your head.

Very adorable as a place it's another world and now the location of the center allows us to access all the rooms we have each done twice because we wanted to miss nothing. A nice little trip to the city ideal for the current Covid weather ...

Nice family outing no matter the temperature. Lets see a beautiful biodiversity.

One of the few places on Earth where you feel totally at peace

An incredible place that moves our senses and makes us reflect in relation to nature and its climate

Very nice and warm inside. The only problem is that I think some animals are in agony to be there, like the Hyacinth macaw. He yelled a lot like he was in pain. The lontras as well appered to be really bothered by the visitors.

Inside, we were in another dimension because in the middle of Montreal we see pingoins in their own environment. This is one of many examples, a trip around the world without leaving the city.

Nice Outing For the Kids , Cool weather transformation inside from Hot to Humid to Cold and Foggy
