| - This place is just fantastic. I would come back here again on my next trip to Montreal. A little pricey to get in ($29.50 for regular adult, $22.50 for student), but I was definitely oh-ing and ah-ing the whole way through. But, I think a lot of this is due to the International Mosaicultures event that was exhibiting while I was there. Of course, there were a ton of tourists and it was crowded as heck, but I guess if anything, it's just a validation of the fact that you probably came to the right place to sight-see.
The jardin definitely seems huge and I didn't get to go through the whole place, but I would like to go back to do so and maybe see whatever new exhibits they have going on. I will say that the bug exhibit is super awesome. It's definitely a bit disgusting, but man, I never knew so many different kinds of amazing looking insects exist! It's really extraordinary and I think that's the vibe of this whole place. It makes you realize how beautiful our world is and how much we messed it all up. It's awesome that a lot of the beauty that our world has to offer has been encapsulated and curated so that we could enjoy it for years to come.
Now that I think about it, while the price is steep, it's more than worth it to take a peek at what our natural world looks like undisturbed. Awesome.
