23 Best Things to Do in Montreal

"Montréal Space for Life, located in and around the Olympic Park, is the largest natural sciences museum complex in Canada. It's home to the Biodome, Insectarium, Botanical Garden, and Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium. Each museum offers something different. You can view "EXO, Our Search for Life in the Universe," the permanent exhibition at the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium; see 4,800 animals from 230 different species, 750 plant species, and some 250,000 specimens of living and naturalized insects at the Insectarium, one of the largest insect museums in North America; wander among themed gardens and 10 greenhouses at the 185-acre Botanical Garden; and walk through replicas of four ecosystems found in the Americas in the Biodome. All four Montréal Space for Life museums have permanent and temporary exhibitions, events, and activities." - Todd Plummer
