Housed in a former Olympic velodrome, the Montreal Biodome invites you to step into a world of ecosystems brought into proximity to one another. Following a transformative renovation completed in 2020, the Biodome now offers a striking journey across five habitats, each designed to feel vividly alive. Wander through a tropical forest buzzing with macaws and an elusive sloth, or peer into the icy realm of penguins in the subpolar zone. The Laurentian forest and St. Lawrence marine areas bring Canada’s wilderness indoors, blending lush plant life with iconic fauna like capybaras and frogs.
More than an attraction, the Biodome combines hands-on discovery with a commitment to environmental awareness, creating a space where visitors of all ages can experience nature’s variety up close. Its grand entrance hall, framed by concrete columns, sets an unforgettable stage for any encounter.
