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. (stadiumguide.com)

I reached out to see if I could gain access to Olympic Stadium on short notice. I met my girlfriend their during the Women's World Cup in 2015. We were returning to Montreal for a hockey camp from Buffalo NY. It had been 3 years since we started dating and I knew this would be the perfect moment to propose. They got back to me on short notice and said that it was possible. They sent me all the details I would need and a guide met us in the morning. We were able to have our own private little tour and we were able to make it to the section and row where we first met. I proposed and she said yes! It was an absolutely magical moment and I am so thankful for all the people involved and all who helped make this moment possible. Definitely a high class organization! Thank you!

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 not that great.

Spacious and lots of different things to see. I was fascinated by the unique architecture of the Olympic Park, particularly the Montreal Tower and the Olympic Village. The inclined tower, in particular, is a distinctive feature that captures the attention of people. It holds a significant place in history as the site of the 1976 Summer Olympics. It is appreciate the historical context and the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of athletes who participated in the games. On the downside, it is disappointing with the maintenance and upkeep of the park. Cleanliness of certain areas is obvious, lack of clear signage, and limited attractions. It is obvious that the park has not been effectively repurposed for post-Olympics use.

The style and inside of a lot of the place still looks like it came straight out of the 1970s with it's retro vibe. Finding the place to get tickets for a tour was a long trek away from the metro station and the signs were hard to follow since the new signs have the exact same design as the ones that were used durring the Olympic games. Around the stadium it did feel a bit dead, however it was nice to see that the stadium is still up and running with people swimming and using the current gym. Although going up the Guiness World Record's most titled tower was a nice experience. It was a bit boring for a while and bit on the pricey side, but the view was fantastic.
