Biosphere Montreal

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; it doesn't seem overly busy on weekdays but if you don't have tickets and their exhibits reach capacity, you won't be able to go in at certain times of day. 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, combating climate change, climate anxiety and stressors, and innovations for a greener world. This entire tour takes you on a journey, while all of it is informative. 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 communities 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 unique and beautiful.

Many people easily confuse the Biosphere (originally erected for the 1967 world exposition) with the similarly-named Biodome (originally erected for the 1976 Olympics). The two places are very different and over 7 kilometers apart. For those wishing to visit the Biodome but who end up at the Biosphere, rest assured that this misunderstanding occurs often. The excellent Biosphere staff will refund one’s ticket(s) and set folks in the right direction. But both places are well worth visiting.
