The Montreal Biodome

Montreal (in Quebec canada) is a very tourist friendly city. Great food, attractions, cheap hotels, luxury hotels, etc. make it a popular place to visit.

The most popular attraction in Montreal is the Montreal Biodome. The word biodome's origin is two Greek words: bios, which means life, and domos, which means house. It was built in 1992 during a construction boom which was sparked by Montreal's 350th anniversary and this unique facility houses four different ecosystems all beneath a single roof. Its goal was to increase the public's awareness about environmental sciences and why we need to protect our natural heritage and to offer top-notch facilities for world renowned scientists to conduct their environmental research. Tours of the facility are self-guided but there are many informational signs and nature interpreters that are throughout the biodome to help any guests/visitors.

While all the animals and plants are very alive, the 6 gigantic trees which reach the top of the biodome are not actually real. They are constructed with concrete. They help support the roof of the biodome and intelligently hide the technical infrastructure which is needed to maintain this large exhibit. The rocks all throughout the exhibits are also hollow. The biodome wouldn't be able to support the weight of hundreds of large rocks in the structure. Necessary water and heating systems are hidden within the artificial rocks so they do not distract visitors from the natural surroundings.
