The Biodome was just okay...I would actually say it was good but my car was stolen right out of the lot that I paid $12.00 to park in!!! And security was not helpful at all and neither were the police! It seems like it happens all the time here and to them it's no big deal! No cameras in the... more

The Biodome had mixed reviews that we checked out before we visited. We enjoyed the visit, got some good pictures and enjoyed the walk through the four climate zones. It was a bit sad to see how small a space the various animals had to roam around. It is still an interesting visit though likely the least favorite part of... more

It was a nice place. Buuuuut... When we went, we were in the bats cave. Doing what? Rushing out of the tropical forest because yes, a monkey escaped. I found the parking is way to far from the entrance. Anyways. It's a nice place to go to more

We decided to head to the Biodome on our last day in Montreal. We arrived to find a line that ended up taking TWO HOURS to get through! We thought "this must be worth it if the line is this long" as well as having just spent $12 on parking. So we waited. Once we got to the ticket booth,... more

I was looking forward to seeing this but it just wasn't worth the effort. It was full of screaming school kids and harrassed teachers and this was at 10 am midweek. The penguins were the highlight but they were kept in such a small enclosure i could hardly see them. more

The whole family enjoyed the Biodome, but watch where you park. We paid $10 to park in a lot near the Biodome. When we came out at around 5 pm, we found that our car had been robbed in broad daylight. The thieves had broken into several of the cars in the lot. They apparently target non-Canadian cars. They stole... more

I'm an adult who loves zoos, and adventures and this place was right up my alley, but I felt like I had to give leeway to the throngs of screaming unappreciative children that push their way through to slam dirty little hands onto the display glass. I suggest to fully enjoy this attaction.... go early morning on a weekday or... more

This is a great way to spend an hour or so. There are various sections with various climates and a variety of animals. Inside are penguins, beavers, otters, birds, fish, etc. The animals are in their natural environments and everyone from age 8 to 80 will enjoy this. more

The one thing that stands out for me is the little penguin that just paced back and forth in front of the window. That's not normal for any animal. The habitat for these birds was so tiny and there were so many that it just wasn't enough room. I felt so bad. But it is a good place for kids... more
