“great for all ages”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2013 NEW

you should combine the visit with many other sites that are all so close...don't miss Chateau Dufresne that few people know. The City has done a mediocre job at its promotion and yet you can experience the homes of the wealty in the 20's

“Terrible experience.....stay way!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

We planned to visit Biodome thinking my toddler would enjoy the different forest types and ofcourse he had fun. First of all it is in the middle of the city and quite attractive tourist spot and we ended up going on a victoria Day, 2013. There was a huge PAID parking lot ($12) and we ended up parking in the...

“Really good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW via mobile

A great use of space in the old velodrome. Very fun to walk around. I was in a bit of a rush to catch a flight but still combined the biodome, tower, and gardens all in 4.5 hours.

“Very Interesting Place To Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

My family enjoyed visiting this combination of cute aquarium and a zoo, don't miss also to go top of the world's highest inclined tower, lots of interesting sights up there. The parking is located at the other side of the building and there was a construction going on for more attractions and stores and fast food nearby. A very interesting... More

“Over-hyped tourist attraction”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

I wasn't impressed with this attraction. The building was re-purposed from an olympic cycling center to be split into several sections showcasing different environments (arid, polar, etc.) It is clear that the building is being used for something other than it was originally intended. The flow from one exhibit to another was not fluid or natural and the whole facility... More

“Fabulous and varied.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

This is a wonderful museum, something for everyone. My only problem was in getting in! The entrance is around the back and you seem to be walking for ever! keep going, it's worth it! Also worth getting the animal spotting list for your kids and taking your time going around as they hide

Small animals and nice exhibits. Not bad. Small compared to the larger cities (Boston, Washington DC, NYC) but pretty nice.

“What an interesting zoo and aquarium combo!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013

I had no idea what the Biodome was when my friend suggested we visit it. We ended up purchasing a combination ticket to enter the Biodome, Botanical Gardens, and the Montreal Tower, which saved us some money. The Biodome had a great layout and a guide to birds in all the exhibits so you could check off what you saw.... More
