Biodome
Experience a multi-sensory, immersive journey through the five ecosystems of the Americas in this iconic, architecturally stunning venue. Observe rainforest birds from the treetops, enter a beaver lodge and experience the polar cold like the penguins! An oasis in the heart of the city of Montreal, the Biodôme offers an immersive visit through five ecosystems of the Americas: the Tropical Rainforest, lush, humid and warm, even in the coldest of Montreal winters; the Laurentian Maple Grove, changing with the seasons, just like in the forest; the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which plunges us into the heart of marine life; and the Labrador Coast and the Sub-Antarctic Islands, where small chills are guaranteed!
Please note that the tour to the Botanical Garden and the Biodome are done on foot. The duration of the tour, including both activities, is approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes. Depart from the Sheraton Centre (by bus), to the Botanical Garden; return from the Biodome to the Montreal Ferris Wheel (by bus); return to the Sheraton Centre (by bus) to conclude the alternate activity.
La Grande Roue of Montreal
The Montreal Ferris Wheel is the largest observation wheel in Canada. The wheel is located in the heart of the picturesque Old Port of Montreal, on the shores of the St. Lawrence River. Climb aboard gondolas with ultra-clear glass windows and enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view from a height of 60 meters. Enjoy the view of the city and its surroundings all year round, rain, shine, snow or sunshine. Spend 20 unforgettable minutes overlooking the city. Whatever the weather, the gondolas will keep you warm. On a clear day, the horizon is visible up to 28 km away.
Botanical Garden
Recognized as one of the most important in the world, the Botanical Garden is a true living museum of plants from all regions of the world. Let yourself be carried away by its beauty! This Montreal jewel, founded in 1931, covers 75 hectares and includes ten exhibition greenhouses, some twenty thematic gardens, an arboretum, the Frédéric-Back Tree House and three exceptional cultural gardens: the Chinese Garden, the Japanese Garden and the First Nations Garden. Enjoy a colorful program!

The Nieuwenhofs are not afraid to do things differently and so far, this seems to have worked in their favour.
