What makes it 86% Solo-Friendly: A solo visitor can tour five ecosystems freely, use the official app for facts and photos, and attend short animal demos, yet the compact 1-2 h route offers limited quiet corners for long stays.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Allows time for a self-guided app tour, animal demos, and photography without rushing.
Self-guided app tour:
Use the Espace pour la vie mobile app to navigate five ecosystems.
Tip: Download and explore each zone’s audio content at your own pace.
Wildlife photography:
Capture shots of capybaras, sloths and colorful birds in naturalistic settings.
Tip: Bring a zoom lens and visit quiet corners near feeding times for clear frames.
Animal enrichment demonstration:
Watch staff interact with animals to encourage natural behaviors.
Tip: Check the schedule on arrival and position yourself close to the enclosure glass.
“Just like in nature” guided activity:
Learn how keepers simulate wild habitats to train and feed animals.
Tip: Reserve your spot online in advance for deeper insights and Q&A time.
Penguin feeding experience:
Observe and learn about five penguin species during their feeding.
Tip: Book this add-on early; sessions fill up quickly around midday.

Great educational experience. I loved learning about the different animals and their environment. Definitely will be back. I recommend buying the pass to see all of the attractions including this, the planetarium and others. It’s worth it and you save money!

It was fantastic to see our local wildlife up close like that! The ice tunnel to the arctic exhibit was also pretty cool. Unfortunately, the othe...

We love the revamp of the Biodome! Everything looks fresh and thoughtfully designed. It’s such a unique experience walking through all the different ecosystems, each one completely immersive and full of life. The Tropical Rainforest and Sub-Antarctic Islands were definite favourites. From the playful monkeys and curious otters to the adorable penguins and even the bats, the aquariums, there’s jus...

Quite an unique experience. One can see animals from close and birds flying over. It’s divided in four different sections. My personal favourite is Tropical rain forest!!! If you are a nature and wildlife lover, you will love this place.
Visit on a weekday morning in winter to combine indoor warmth and smaller crowds. On rainy summer days, use the Biodôme as a cool, dry retreat. Check online for seasonal evening events like yoga under canopy lights.
