Try and get there for the penguins' feeding time at 2.30. Very entertaining. The multi museum pass is good value if you plan to go to the Botanic gardens or the Planetarium too. You don't need to do both in one day and the combined ticket is good for a month.

The tropical portion and the Penguins are the most fun. It is a little pricey but you will not feel gyped.

This was an interesting and unique way of presenting these exhibits. I liked the way they grouped their exhibits according to their environment. It was slightly pricey ($19/adult) but it was in line with other exhibits in the Montreal area so I guess that's not it's fault. All the animals were quite active while we were there about mid afternoon,... More

Spent the afternoon here after spending the morning at the botanical gardens. Lots of interesting things to look at and well presented in the converted velodrome. Great for the kids. I'm not a big zoo lover so I wasn't overly comfortable with seeing some of the animals there but the penguins and puffins seemed happy enough.

Traveled with a group of teenagers. It was crowded when we got caught up with big tour groups, but we found a spot for our little group, and we all enjoyed seeing the animals in the Biodome. Great little gift shop too.

It was raining outside and we decided to visit the Biodome. We easily spend 4 hours there and had a great time. If you are traveling with kids this is a MOST DO.

Loved the section with the beavers, you can see them under water. I would not say the Biodome looked very modern, but it is an experience I did not have before. Did not fell like a zoo and they had some interesting animals

Paid around $18 to get in. Well it's maybe me but it seems like I've seen it all before. The rainforest-theme place was good but wasn't interesting enough for me, probably because I come from a tropical country so it wasn't that exciting. As for the rest it was good (but nothing amazed me in my opinion). It was quite... More

Our son is 17 months old and the Biodome worked out really well for us because all he wants to do right now is run around. This was a great way for him to work off some energy while delighting in the animals and birds. We went mid-week in June and it wasn't crazy crowded at all -- plenty of... More

So when you go to the biodome you can get a package deal to do the planetarium, as well as the gardens. So from what I could tell you can't get the package without the biodome. It was definetly the best I have been to yet, but for some reason I just didn't feel like it was big enough for... More
