Montreal's Biodome facility allows visitors to walk through replicas of four ecosystems found in the Americas: The Tropical Forest is a replica of the South American rainforest, The Laurentian Forest is a replica of the North American wilderness,
The Saint Lawrence Marine Eco-system is an estuary habitat modeled on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, and A polar area that is divided into Arctic and Antarctic.
Each of the four environments takes up a portion of the stadium. A variety of animals live in each simulated habitat, ranging from the macaws in the Tropical Forest, to the lynx in the Laurentian Forest, to the penguins in the Antarctic and the different kinds of fish that inhabit the waters of the Saint Lawrence River.
This is one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, along with the Montreal Botanical Garden, Montreal Planetarium and the Montreal Insectarium.
