	Games - Montreal Biodome

The Montreal Biodome () is a facility located in Montreal that allows visitors to walk through replicas of four ecosystems found in the Americas: a tropical forest, a Laurentian forest, an estuary habitat modeled on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and a polar area divided into Arctic and Antarctic zones. All the exhibits are housed inside the Velodrome (cycling stadium) that was used for the 1976 Summer Olympics, with each of the four environments taking up a portion of the stadium. A variety of animals live in each simulated habitat, ranging from macaws in the tropical forest to lynx in the Laurentian forest to penguins in the Antarctic zone.

This is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, along with the Montreal Botanical Garden, Montreal Planetarium and the Montreal Insectarium.

The Biodome should not be confused with the Biosphère, a Montreal museum about the St. Lawrence river located inside the geodesic dome that once housed the American pavilion for Expo 67. The Biodome is neither spherical nor a geodesic dome.
