Experiencing Nature Inside The Montreal Biodome
Walking through the Montreal Biodome, or Biodôme de Montréal, is like taking a nature trip around the world. Originally constructed as a track cycling arena for the 1976 Olympic games, it was later renovated and turned into the indoor nature exhibit that you see today. It currently houses four replicas of ecosystems found in South America, North America, the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the Arctic/Antarctic.

There is a tropical forest designed to resemble a South American rainforest, another forest is designed as a replicate of the North American wilderness, the third area is a marine eco-system modeled after the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the fourth is a polar region divided up to show both the Arctic and Antarctic.
When you walk through the different parts of the Montreal Biodome it feels like you are being transported to various natural habitats around the globe. You get to see and experience nature in each of the different ecosystems represented. Similar to a zoo, you also get to see the animals from each of the different regions. There are close to 5000 animals housed in the Montreal Biodome and over 750 different plant species.
In addition to the regular tours, the Biodome is also host to a variety of special features including: a room where kids can be a little more “hands-on” and learn about the different plants and animals, “moonlit” nights which are offered to visitors as a way to see the nocturnal animals housed at the Biodome and of course scientists are usually on hand to answer any questions you may have.
If you are heading to Montreal or you are looking for an experience that is truly a cut above the rest, make plans to visit nature inside the Montreal Biodome. You’ll be very happy you did.
