Montreal Olympic Park — Attraction in Montreal

It was just an amazing experience. Be ready for a day long visit so pack your food, take your kids and enjoy. It’s family friendly and my kids enjoyed a lot seeing large number of animals especially the penguins, they were amazing in the biodome . This place have the biodome nearby that can be covered in a couple of hours, but if it’s your first visit I recommend given it a full day since other attractions are in the same area:

Insectarium, Botanical Gardens.

This place is one of Montreal beauty aspects as it combine the architectural wonders with the beauty of nature and variety of animal species in five eco systems representing North America’s environment.

Although there was a spacious parking, you can get there by metro: Viau metro station.

Quick facts about it:

• Montreal Olympic Stadium got built in the 1970s to serve as the flagship venue of the 1976 Summer Olympics. (stadiumguide.com)

•The stadium got completed just in time for the Olympics, though the mast and roof had not been completed yet. It opened on 17 July 1976. The stadium could hold 76,000 spectators during the Olympics. Due to financial difficulties, it took over ten years for the mast and roof to be completed. The mast had by then turned into an observation tower with funicular running up....

I showed up without a reservation to get my vaccine. And walked out 2 hours later with my vaccination passport. Those without the reservation got the AstraZeneca, those with a reservation got the Pfizer vaccine. There were an awful lot of recruits there, most of them seemed pretty mystified as to what was going on. For example when I sat down to get the shot the nurse told me those without rdv's had waited only 10 minutes. Apparently I was in the wrong lineup, that's after been processed by five different people , two persons handing out clean masks, multiple ushers and security guards. It took about 20 people to loose me. They had to vaccinate me in the end because the next turn was the exit. I met some great people. If I hadn't got lost I wouldn't have spent half an hour speaking with a nice policeman. On another note the Olympic stadium is like landing on a space colony. It's strange, it's big, it's got bizarre shapes. When the tower is open the view from up there is like taking a helicopter ride. A must see next door is the...

I absolutely hated this experience to go to different shows you have to walk outside in the cold wind tunnel. The show we wanted to see was not available in English and I wasn't going to pay $ for something I don't understand. I don't mind the idea of having it in both English and French shows but at least alternate every hour. They would have 4 French shows then one in English at like 6 pm. That's annoying. Also every entrance to parking was closed so after parking underground and paying $25 and walking outside to find out the show wasn't available in English was really disappointing. Another thing that threw me off was we went to the biodome zoo and the guy at the entrance asked me if I'm from Quebec and when I said no the fee went from $20 to $27 that really threw me off. I've been all over Canada and have never paid different fee than any other Canadian to enter a public space. Over all the experience was...
