The attraction itself is cute, the visitors can experience different ecosystems and see some animals, birds, plants. However, the biggest drawback of this is that there is no control of how many people are allowed inside. There are timed tickets but upon arrival you can enter with any ticket time. It makes the venue overcrowded and very difficult to enjoy. We started at the tropical ecosystem and it seems it was the most crowded part, there were a lot of people and it was difficult to see anything, we had to spend a lot of time in the crowd to be able to see something + since it’s tropical climate, it was very hot and having so many people around you doesn’t help. It got better afterwards, but the overall impression was average. I wouldn’t recommend unless there is nothing else to do.

It was nice to see the flora and fauna in the different zones. There's no clear route so a bit confusing. They do not allow you to exit and return so if you want a drink make sure you visit the cafe first.

Great for all ages and very popular with young children especially the penguins. The 4 habitats were all interesting and it is a light and airy space. The vegetarian wrap from the Caterina restaurant was tasty and their is dedicated seating to eat your own picnic too

This place is nice and it’s great to see animals in their natural environment. Our favorite was the polar region and seeing the penguins. The problem with this place is there is a traffic control problem. They make you purchase i timed ticket but they doesn’t help as it’s overcrowded. It’s hard to move through some exhibits and see anything. They shouldn’t allow strollers and especially wagons. There were plenty of pamphlets in both English and French when you scan your ticket.

The Biodome is easily reached from the Viau metro station (green line). There are four different habitats inside the Dome including a tropical region. Each area has animals and birds which all the children there seemed to really enjoy. It really is an attraction for people with children although adults will enjoy it as well. You can buy a ticket just for the Dome or get an annual ticket which covers the Biodome, Planatarium, Insectarium and Botanical Gardens which are all on the same complex (as well as the Biosphere which is in nearer to the city centre). Even if you are only going to visit whilst you are on holiday it’s worth buying the annual ticket and visiting all the attractions over a few days. Highly recommended.

Located right next to the Olympic stadium and the botanical garden, this Biodome is great for families. That being said, there were way too many kids and families for the size limitations. The arctic section has playful and energetic penguins. The jungle section is really humid and has pretty parrots to look at. The temperate and forests climates had the least to see with not many animals. It's like a zoo with a cool giftshop.

I used to love the biodôme, it is still a fun hour to hour and a half of animal spotting. However, like the other espace pour la vie museums, the experience is made much worse nowadays by the lack of signs and the need to use an app to get any information. For our group the appp would only work on one phone(constantly closed when you tried to do anything on the others). And on the phone where it kind of worked, we couldn't find all the animals and certain features only worked sporadically.

We arrived at the biodome and had to buy tickets for a scheduled time slot. We waited over two hours but it was raining outside so it gave us something to do inside. You can buy food and drinks there. The biodome was fairly quick to go through, under an hour, but beautiful and the animals seem content.

Awesome experience for all ages! I’m from Rhode Island in the US and $22 per person is a really good deal. You get to see a good amount of animals in the tropical forest, but my favorite section was definitely seeing the penguins in the arctic environment. The structure from the outside is visibly appealing with a cool view of the Olympic Tower. The staff was very friendly and the metro station is a short walk from just outside the grounds.

It is amazing how this place is maintained that almost everything is real. Although not as big as a zoo but a family could surely enjoy this. All animals here are not found on granby zoo so it is not redundant and boring. There is a self checkout kiosk so you dont need to wait in line. Gift shop and cafeteria is also inside. Penguins are so cute!!!!
