Montreal Biodome (Biodome de Montreal)

The Montreal Biodome, located in Canada, offers a unique experience where visitors can explore the recreated environments of five distinct American ecosystems. Originally built for the 1976 Olympics as a velodrome, it was transformed into a biodome in 1992. Inside, you’ll find a sub-Antarctic island habitat, complete with penguins, alongside a lush tropical rainforest, a Laurentian maple forest, and the maritime Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The biodome is not just a zoo; it meticulously recreates both the plant and animal life of these regions, allowing visitors to observe creatures such as poison dart frogs in their native settings.
