Space for Life

Must visit place if you are in Montréal...The Chinese lantern exhibit is awesome...Overall a great experience.

Don't bother buying a passport. Any interesting shows, like Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon will sell out in under an hour and then you have an expensive package that is pretty worthless.

If I could rate this guys a cero I would, horrible service, staff just unfriendly, totally rude, I understand that somedays are hard than others but wow! You guys need some therapy, if you are not into plants don’t even bother, and if you are a tourist they will kick you out for taking pictures, yes! You are not allowed to take pictures even if there is not any sign about that anywhere, specially a guy called Eric, stay away from him, a complete unpleasant person

We visited the indoor portion - absolutely beautiful. My son has a hard time with over sensory activities; but this was perfect. We all enjoyed the different sections and the plants were amazing.

It was incredible. So many beautiful and strange plants, colorful flowers. Bravo to the people who take care of the gardens.And the Bonsai trees were amazing!I will definitely come back April or May to see the blossoms.

Montreal espace pour la vie (Space for Life) is a trio consisting of the Montreal Botanical Garden, the Insectarium and the BioDome. I have visited all the three and they are amazing. I am not fond of seeing the insects, so I could have skipped that but the Botanical garden and the Biodome are just awesome. Biodome is a unique experience in which one can see all different climates, the Tundra, the Tropical, the Rainforest and animals living in these climates. It's enjoyable for all ages.The garden is huge and very beautiful too.Great work by the Space for Life creators and the team.

Biodome and Botanical garden are worth exploring

Very well organized ,very informative , variety of plants flower etc….

Can’t even think of the right words to describe how beautiful my experience was here! My boyfriend and I came here on a whim, as I always enjoy checking out nurseries and plant shops when traveling. SO happy we came in! Only a portion of the museum was closed off due to weather/temperature, but we were still able to go in most of the greenhouses. Pictures do not even do this place justice. You can see the care and knowledge that goes in to each of these greenhouses and all of the plants in them. I will definitely be visiting again next time I am in Canada.

For those with an interest in nature, this complex has three different offerings. I have been to two of them and found them both great.The botanical gardens are enjoyable even for people who do not have a big interest in flowers. The centerpiece is a Chinese pavilion that is truly beautiful and there are lots of peaceful places to wander and enjoy a leisurely walk. In the autumn, there is a lantern festival in the evenings that is really nice. There are usually Chinese lantern sculptures as well as installations that feature timed lighting effects and music.The biodome is fantastic for anybody who wants to see animals. It recreates three ecosystems and allows you to see a variety of animals in a simulation of their natural environment. The penguins are a big crowd-pleaser. The recreation of our region's environment includes some otters who are frequently playing and fun to watch.
