What to do in Montreal on a rainy day? Even better, on a very cold -30 Celsius Montreal winter day?
You can take the entire family to Montreal's Biodome. If you are a fauna photographer, you will be delighted to take your camera. Your visit will be worth while, I can assure you. You might even get addicted for return visits.
Yes, it might not be the best kept secret to us locals, but since this Blog is being followed by a fair amount of visitors from other countries. So therefor, I would like to talk about such treasures as our Biodome in Montreal. You will enjoy an immersion experience in five ecosystems. There is over 4,500 animals from 250 different species and 500 plant species, all under one roof.
Around the same area, if you have any time left you can also visit the new Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium . There you will discover the splendors of our universe, reach up and touch the stars. Here it is how it was constructed . It opened its doors to the public this year April 6 2013.
Montreal's Botanical Garden has a great indoor green house for winter visitors. However if you are in Montreal this summer, be sure not to miss seeing a very special exhibit Mosaicultures Internationale . It will last till September 29 2013 ... Entrance fee per person is $29.50 this summer due to this special exhibit. You can buy your tickets on line to avoid long line ups. to explore the rates on line click on the red text.
Usually during Fall Gardens Of Light at the Chinese Garden is quite a magical place to take your kids during a nice evening. This year it will take place between September 6 till November 3 2013....
