Biodome Montreal

What a wonderful place to take the grandkids! You can see so many animals that you may otherwise never get to see. I like the different biomes, there is arctic, water, tropical, and Canada. There is a little bit of everything. My favourite were the ducks and penguins. The weekend sure was busy, and the parking situation is kind of hard to figure out (you can only park in P5 of the complex, and it's expensive), but definitely worth a trip out there at least once. The kids liked the capybara, the big strange fish, and the little golden monkey the best. Hoping to be back soon! If you are worried about germs, wear a mask. Lots of children coughed on me. Also I recommend doing the tropical biome last, because it sure is warm in there.

The Montreal Biodome was one of the main reasons for my trip to Montreal, and I absolutely loved the experience. The space is beautifully designed and very open, with carefully recreated ecosystems that make you feel like you’re walking through different natural environments. One of my favorite moments was spotting small animals hidden within the simulated nature settings—it felt joyful and almost magical each time you noticed one. The attention to detail in the landscapes, plants, and habitats really brings the experience to life. This is truly a must-visit destination for anyone who loves nature and animals. It’s immersive, educational, and incredibly relaxing at the same time. I left feeling inspired and refreshed, and I would highly recommend it to visitors of all ages.

The Montreal Biodome is a fascinating place to visit and a great experience for people of all ages. The different ecosystems are well designed and immersive, making you feel like you’re walking through various parts of the world under one roof. Seeing the animals up close, especially in the tropical rainforest and polar environments, is both educational and enjoyable. The facility is clean and well maintained, and there is plenty of information available to learn about wildlife and conservation. While the experience is overall very impressive, some areas feel a bit crowded during peak hours, and a few sections are smaller than expected. That said, it’s still a unique attraction that offers a perfect mix of learning and entertainment. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Montreal, especially for families or anyone interested in nature and ecosystems.

The Montréal Biodôme is truly like a walk in nature - as advertised! The exhibits are open and spacious so when it's quite busy, you still have lots of room to move about, which is great. There is quite the variety of animals to see here; monkeys, parrots, penguins, sturgeon, beavers, raccoons, otters, lynx, and much more! The layout of the tropical rainforest exhibit is nice but it's kind of confusing. Make sure you examine the map on the brochure before you leave the exhibit you're in; you can always go back, but my partner and I took an alternative exit to the next exhibit, which caused us to overlook the capybaras, sloths, spoonbills, and frogs. I was disappointed to find out afterward; however, if you do miss it and realize so, you shouldn't have a problem re-entering. The animals have some beautiful space to roam and inhabit. It makes me happy to know as much as they are thriving as best they can where they are. The Biodôme also lists feeding times which gives you a better chance to see some of the animals. We didn't follow the feeding schedules and still managed to see almost all the animals that dwelled in each exhibit, so it shouldn't be a deal-breaker if you visit during the less eventful times. The staff here are great to speak to. Everyone is so friendly and you get a true grasp at how many of them care for these animals and enjoy their positions at the Biodôme. We spent about an hour and a half strolling through all the exhibits, but we easily could have stayed longer if we didn't have other things on our itinerary. I would recommend allowing for extra time to take it a little slower and get the best experience you can with all the animals and exhibits. If you need to arrange an Uber, it can be difficult to get a pickup near the entrance, so pre-plan if you need extra time to get somewhere else. This is a wonderful place, and I can't wait to head back!

An excellent place to visit. The Biodome aims to recreate the different ecosystems in North America, while allowing human visitors to walk within arms reach (almost) of the appropriate animals and plants in each ecosystem—from the tropics to the sub-polar regions. The experience also allows one to step away from the cold of winter or the heat of summer.
