Message from Management
With its Biodome, its Insectarium, its Biosphere, its Botanical Garden and its Planetarium, Espace Pour La Vie Montréal highlights nature. Scientific research is conducted in parallel by botanists-biologists. The Botanical Garden is a 75-hectare green area that combines greenhouses and themed gardens in one place, which can be explored during guided tours or mini-train rides. In winter, it offers cross-country skiing trails. In addition to its green spaces, it also has a large library to explore the world of plants and landscaping. After a complete visit of the site, a visit to the boutiques is a must to buy eco-responsible hygiene products or to bring back gardening tools.
