Terrific tour, very fascinating to see. Read the true story online before going. The tour skips all the wierdness that caused it to be built and the way "science" was conducted during the experiment. They also skip the relationship problems and sanity problems the "crew" encountered. The tour would be a lot more fun if they ...

Enjoyed it!

I would have preferred a longer tour, but it was very informative and I greatly enjoyed it. I was glad to finally see the inside of Biosphere and its inner workings. The tour guide wasn't very friendly, but you could walk around the habitat by yourself and look at the living quarters & animal pens.

I thought it was cool
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/23/07
I'd always been interested in the biosphere, and I was pleased to have the chance to tour it. The science involved was fascinating. The structure was beautiful, the sphere and the big greenhouses. I felt like somebody discovering a previously unknown civilization, and wondering about the inhabitants - where were they? what were they like? It ...

Disaster!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/18/06
I took my friend as a treat and we were sorely disappointed. The tour guide had an accent so thick we couldn't understand him 80% of the time. We were told upon entering that we HAD to stay with the tour the entire time and that we could NOT go back to leave under any circumstances. We wanted to leave after 15 mins. and get our money back ...
Biosphere 2 was $19.95 per person and the "tour" took about 1/2 hr. Our "tour guide" was obviously a disgruntled employee who has barely managed to hold on to his job since the major cutbacks over the years. He rushed us through what little areas we were allowed to see, would answer questions with quick, opaque responses. ...

Looks nice from a distance.

This project has been cursed since Ed Bass put his money into it. It was a great idea, but the realization wasn't. And when it was discovered that the "scientists" inside of it had cheated and destroyed the value of the project, it's been all downhill. If you had never been in a greenhouse or seen large tropical plants growing, I ...

Waste of money
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/22/04
This is a waste of $20 per person. The tour is short, uninformative, and uninteresting. The domed gardens in St. Louis cost less and are more interesting.
