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!!!!

Four separate climates: 1. Arctic/Antarctic penguins, puffins, and other Arctic / Antarctic birds 2. Tropical: Plants, birds, and animals from the tropical regions. 3 & 4: Temperate: Plants, animals, and fish. Excellent visit, well laid out, handled the Saturday crowd well (they have timed entry tickets) We did this paired with the Montreal Botanical Garden.

This is a fun way to spend an hour or so, wandering through the four different ecosystems to view the plants and animals in each. The penguins and puffins were adorable and we enjoyed watching the tamarins, the raccoons and the capybaras. I only wish I could have magicked both the river otters and beavers awake as they were the animals I was most keen to see, being Australian and having neither at home. We found it easy to get to via metro from old Montreal and it was not too crowded.
