The steel net grabbed my attention. The exhibition was great with a lot of educational purposes about the protection of the environment. I think this museum is more for kids than adults. One thing that can be improved is the access on the top of the building, where some parts are closed due to the malfunction of the stairways, but great experience overall.

The Biosphere structure is nice and the people at the entrance helpful. First part is like a testlab and very interesting for children and adults. It explains with a questionnaire all toxics and bacteria the impact on peoples health and environment etc. Next room is about snow geese also nice and interesting. Third room is about an artist who well known and creates his art with the help off spray paint. I don’t mind his art but totally do not get it that his art is included in the Biosphere and environmental museum. I don’t understand the promotion of an anti environmental way of art at this place.

The Biosphere is located in a large, lovely park with walking and bike trails. You can see the structure from the ground level without entering the museum. The acrylic covering burned off years ago; just the done itself and interior buildings exist. The museum itself could use a good curator; it’s a massive waste of space with on-the-nose environmental messaging and elementary science concepts. Was hoping to learn more about the biosphere project (and others like it), but most of this is in the ground level lobby. You are able to climb to third floor and take pictures of the city skyline (obscured by the dome, of course) but it is not at all worth the steep price of admission.

Its an archtectural landmark with a beautiful view to sunset while facing the Montreal City. It has direct access via City Metro. Though we arrived late in the afternoon and the bulding which i think consist of museum or gallery like place was closed but the vicinity itself was beautiful. I suggest you to use the Metro since in the winter not all buses in Montreal function. We went to bus stop and waited for bus #777 which didnt show up. Later as we asked the locals they say if a bus route doesnt have passengers along the way either they reschedule the bus hours or just cancel their trip and that happen to us qhen we wanted to ride bus #777. It has very cold breezy nights so cover up well and wear your cloths accordingly. Since its an open area and windy the tempreture is lower than the city.

The exhibits were rather limited and maybe even more curtailed than normal due to weather and the changeover of an exhibit on another floor. The one staffer heading up a craft or some sort of engagement opportunity in the hallway did not bother to look up from her phone on the couple of occasions I or my children walked by, and it was pretty dead - we were the only ones there for a while. Did we confuse this for the Biodome? Possibly. Was just hoping for a bit for than 30-40 mins tops of time spent.
