Visited the Biodome with two teenage boys. We all had a good time but were finished in a little over an hour so I found it expensive in terms of one's "entertainment dollar". In addition to the entry fee I paid $10 parking, which seemed a little steep. The Biodome is the old Olympic indoor cycling stadium, converted into several... more

The Biodome in Montreal is easily reachable by metro and a very short walk. The price was reasonable and a small cafe and gift are located there. The rainforest, seashore, antarctic and forest displays included life plant and animal life. I really don't like seeing animals in captivity, but there appeared to be ample room for them and the habitat... more

My husband I went here and spend a few hours wandering around. We are animal lovers, and used to work for an Aquarium, and were impressed with most of the venue. The only disappointment was the slightly-cheese "duck pond" area (we referred to it as this). Other than that, it was great! The average visitor could definitely spend 2 hours... more

We were lucky to visit the Biodome on a free day which was a nice surprise. Of course, that meant it was quite busy and full of children and pushchairs. The areas are quite small to walk around so be prepared for a bit of pushing and shoving. Also there aren't any maps so you could get an idea of... more

After reading the reviews on this site, we were apprehensive. The thing that made the experience enjoyable was buying the tickets at a discount from our hotel concierge. No lines to wait in at the biodome at all. It was fun and took about an hour to see. Worth it if you don't have to wait to get in, and... more

The long queues should have warned us. Although it didn't take all that long (20 minutes?) to get to the front of the queue, it was an excellent indication of the number of people that were visiting. We spent the whole time feeling very, very sorry for the animals, who had to stand the noise every single day...we hardly handled... more

My fiance (at the time) and I went to the BioDome during a trip to Montreal around New Year's. It was a fun afternoon checking out the animals, some of which will walk right up to you. Great photo opportunities of animals. Ticket packages can be purchased that will get you into the BioDome, Botanical Garden and Insectarium. We didn't... more

We went to the Biodome after hearing how great it is to visit. We arrived at 1:30 pm on a July 09 summer weekday, and there was an incredibly long line-up just to buy tickets to get into the place. In fact, the line was sooooo long, and we were so discouraged, we didn't bother waiting for over an hour... more

This is a great use of facilities from the 1976 Olympics. We easily took the Metro from Old Montreal. The biodome is very attractively divided into three biodomes--tropical, forest and maritime. We suggest renting an audio narration thing that you enter the number of the exhibit in front of you. It gives you wonderful information. We probably would have rushed... more
