What travellers are saying
- TrailTrekker15Tallahassee, FL5,461 contributionsWe visited the Biodome at Olympic Park for a couple of hours before heading to the airport to catch our flight. It was a hot day so being indoors was a key reason we chose to go there. The zoo was split into different sections for different regions. These exhibits generally had smaller, tamer animals rather than large fauna. We still enjoyed it. In particular, we liked the arctic area with the penguins and puffins. The cafe had really good coffee with a number of good options. They did serve it in a mug instead of to-go cup so factor that in when ordering anything here.Written August 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chris H2 contributionsGreat museum/art gallery.
Lots to see, spread over 3 buildings so allow plenty of time - min. 3 hours excl coffee break if you are the tyope to like to soak it all in. could easily spend longer.Written September 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The museum does a great job of documenting the older and newer history of the city and sits on top of many of the original landmarks of the city. Took about 3 hours to go through though could have stayed longer.Written October 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TruNuYawkrBrooklyn, NY48 contributionsA hidden treasure for the feminist in you! Stray a minute off the beaten path of Montreal and pay a visit to this exquisite collection of memorabilia. There's even a Barbie box you can enter and 'be a doll' yourself! Located on the 3rd floor of the mall, Les Cours Mont-Royal, afterwards come down to the 2nd to play a couple of games in the arcade. Makes for a simple fun day with the kids to play. FREE, accessible and a sweet treat for the eyes!Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mary FWoodbury, MN79 contributionsWe did not go inside museum and up to observation deck. We did walk around the patio. Very cool to see in person. The park it is in is also very cool to drive around.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- heatherkirbee71 contributionsWhat they had was amazing! The beauty of their insect displays were phenomenal and the butterfly room was magical. My only critique was I wish there was more especially for the cost of admission.Written April 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mrs H29 contributionsFor a quite small museum I was very very impressed with the specimens and information here. The gemstones and minerals were stunning and I’m very glad I made a point of coming. Thank you so much.Written September 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PhilipLeicLeicester, UK1,654 contributionsVery much enjoyed not only looking at the exhibits but having a go on the many interactive ones as well. Great for families of all ages. Luckily when we went it was not busy and only one school group of little children was visiting but I can imagine it getting busy if several groups visiting which would make it harder to interact with exhibits.Written December 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Nina SNew York City, NY71 contributionsWe took the Beyond the bagel - walking tour. It was excellent. Very knowledgable guide who provided a great deal of information about the food, Bagels, smoked meat ans much history besides. we learned ate and walked. Bring some small sandwich bags to store the goodies you may not be able to finish.Written September 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan SLexington, KY20 contributionsGreat exhibits. Great video narration in each room. But maybe a slightly dull topic? Tour proceeds through 1st floor & basement. Overview in the first room is essential to understanding the history.Written July 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- helenandpaul13Worcester, UK1,685 contributionsWe went here because we were running out of things to do. You need to get there on the metro and it's situated right by the old Olympic stadium. I can't remember how much we paid for the tickets but we watched something about possible life on other planets. The theatre is in a Dome and you lean back on the comfortable seats and watch everything above you. On our trip we had some guy in charge of the buttons who had little by the way of humour and his jokes wouldn't go well at the Edinburgh festival. However, we learned something about stars and their distance from Earth and the exhibit took about an hour. After this we took a walk round the park and observed that the old stadium now takes Soccer. The planetarium is really only good for fans and those who like listening to bad jokes.Written April 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cora D1 contributionThis art gallery is a great gem in Montreal. I went with some friends and the staff was amazing and super welcoming. Lots of great art to browse through 10/10!! 🌟Written September 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JRK22 contributionsThis museum is well laid out and very informative. My 18year old daughter and I visited and we were both saddened and moved by the history of the Jewish people. Having actual articles from families and survivors was incredible that people were able to save these items and share them with the world. I can only hope and pray that this kind of “cleansing” does not happen again. Although sadly, world events say we may be doomed to repeat our past history.Written July 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa ETucson, AZ14 contributionsWhat an amazing presentation! As a genealogist specializing in french genealogy, I was pretty well versed in french history. Vivianne however was incredible. I had requested an english tour, and Vivianne was up to the task. She showed me new things and truly deepened my understanding of the time period. I am forever grateful!
