Montreal Biosphère

Description

This museum and exhibition hall is dedicated to raising environmental and ecological awareness among its visitors. Housed in the world's largest geodesic dome, which is one of few remaining structures from Expo '67, it offers four levels of guided discovery. The bottom level examines water as both "Source of Life" and "Source of Delight", the Connections Hall showcases multimedia presentations focusing on environmental protection, and the Visions Hall affords an incredible 360 degree view of Montreal.

Great Place!

By Judy Jiang, 8/28/08

First off, this placce is a bit of a drive from Montreal, but people usually come to se the Saint Helene Island anyways. It is a great museum, with fantastic views of the city and of Mount Royal. Also, we were lucky enough to visit on a monday, when admission is free. I am not sure how long that lasts, but it was great.

Not So Amazing

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/2/06

I belive this is more overated, it is not as good, you wait for hours and are there for only 10 mintues.Do not even bother thinking of going there, let them make it better. Not only that but it is boring and thier rules are unbareable.

Day in Nature

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/26/05

It's quite the facility. you just can't run through and look at the animals like you're at a zoo. you have to stop and look and search and it lends to a strong sense of atmosphere i feel is lost in a zoo, it breaks down that sense of separation.

A great experience for everyone

By johnm, 10/3/05

This place is sweet! It's one of the best zoos I have seen, and it is completely indoors. It really feels like you're walking through the actual habitats of these animals. I'd definitely recomend visiting the biosphere if you're visiting Montreal

FYI

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/17/11

The Biosphere started life as the American Pavilion at the World's Fair held in Montreal in 1967 and was designed by Buckminster Fuller. The Bioshphere is a geodesic dome, a type of structure that was originally invented in the 1930s but "reinvented" and made famous by "Bucky" in the 40s.

It does not worth to pay tio get in

By Yahoo user, 8/29/10

Absoultely not worth to pay to get in. If you does not care and have a lot of time, then go. But I really think it is a rib off for $12 to get in.
