Montreal Biodome

Birds, Bats, Flora, Fauna

Biodôme ! - 4/10

Originally built as Montreal’s Olympic Velodrome, this big domed structure has since been re-purposed to house the Montreal Biodome, an indoor wildlife park.

No matter the weather outside, several ecosystems thrive within – including tropical forests, temperate woodlands and a polar world.

The animals are the biodome’s crowning glory and include some 300 species, and include areas where tropical birds fly free and tanks where you can watch swimming penguins close-up.
