The building was originally constructed for the 1976 Olympic Games
as a velodrome. It hosted the track
cycling, judo events, Olympic Stadium and the Olympic pool. Renovations on the building began in 1989 and
in 1992 the indoor nature exhibit was opened. The Biodome includes the Montreal
Insectarium and the Montreal Botanical Gardens.
The facility allows
visitors to walk through replicas of four ecosystems found in the Americas:
§ The Tropical
Forest is a replica of the South American rainforest.
§ The Laurentian
Forest is a replica of the North American wilderness.
§ The Saint
Lawrence Marine Eco-system is an estuary habitat modelled on
the Gulf of St. Lawrence
§ A polar area that is
divided into Arctic and Antarctic.
