So we arrive at the Biodome which is probably 5 miles outside the city and located next to the Olympic Stadium. There is a line outside that just seems to go on for ever and ever. We wait patiently in the line for 1 hour as it circled back and forth. Finally, as we got to the front, there were some signs saying that the Antarctica area with the penguins and puffins was out of service. Maybe they walked North for the summer. No problem, I told my friends that I am sure that there would be a discount.
There was, and it explained the line. It was museum day in Montreal, so the entire thing was free. This would have been fine if not for all the wild children running around with the wild animals. The other problem was that as we walked through the rain forest, mountain area, ocean, and other live animal areas, you do really see too much. The animals are either sleeping of hiding and want nothing to do with all the screaming kids that are there.
Probably the best part about this place was the gift shop. They had some neat stuff. It was hyped up in the brochures as a must see in Montreal. I would certainly skip it I went back. Oh well, at least the price was right.
