Biosphere Montreal

Very interesting place to visit, for adults and kids. I did not know that there is an electric shuttle (8 seats) which makes a tour, every hour, duration 45 minutes, no stops, completely free. Departure from the Information Centre, just outside the Biosfere Entrance. It should be advertised!! The tour shows the Formula1 circuit and the Mosaicultures (sculptures made by flowers and grass!)

The structure is impressive, but that's about where this ends. The website didn't make 100% clear that construction impacted the panoramic view on the fourth floor. Although they are discounting tickets right now, it's also was not clear during purchase. That how two adults ended up walking through multiple exhibits made for schoolchildren. The staff is super friendly however and offer up great advice and thoughtful assistance. While the exhibits cover important topics, it's definitely not for those over 18+. There are not many artifacts, but many interactive activities and posters with information. Personally, not my cup of tea, but my husband enjoyed it. We visited on a Wednesday and did not need tickets in advance and it wasn't overly crowded. Hope this helps you plan your holiday!

The staff were kind. Was worth seeing as part of our passport. Took a ferry here but there’s a stroller accessible train station here as well. Lots of great education on water conservation and combating global warming.

Both the biosphere and park are worth a visit! They had a beautiful exhibit in the park when we visited. The trolley gave a nice & brief story of the park’s history & the role it played in the Olympics! Highly recommended!

It's always good to have tickets in advance. The Biosphère should be no exception; I entered on a weekday and it didn't seem overly busy. However, there were also renovations to the skywalk ongoing. You can take a chance on walking in off the street, but, if you don't have tickets and their exhibits reach capacity, you won't be able to enter the museum. The exhibits are beautiful. Each of them have their own purpose and theme, but all are very well done - informative and captivating. We slotted out a couple hours in the afternoon for our visit, and the only regret I have is not allowing more time to take everything in. It was a very emotional experience that provided a lot of information on climate change; climate injustices throughout impoverished countries, climate anxiety and stressors, and innovations for a green world. This entire tour takes you on a journey, while all of it is informative. I would recommend about three hours to take everything in if you are the type to engage in the entire exhibit. That includes reading, watching, listening, and demonstration exhibits. The staff here were excellent to talk to. They made the entire experience very pleasant. Due to the construction and timing of the season, it was very quiet. It's the perfect time to visit if you prefer less crowds as it gives you lots of peace to think and focus on what you're absorbing. Annick was excellent to speak with as well. It was the opening day of the ÉmoLab, and she took the time to rundown through some of the different sections of the exhibit. We had a very good conversation about climate anxiety and the things we can do as individuals and as a community to turn the tide. We really appreciated her stopping to talk with us and show us around. You could easily spend two and a half to three hours here, and still likely need more time to take in every exhibit. It was a wonderful experience that I can't wait to revisit when back in Montréal. The gift shop also has some really nice items! The designs on their t-shirts, bags, and stickers are so well done and it's a great way to support and memorialize the museum and what it stands for.
