O miejscu

Constructed inside an Olympic cycling venue, the complex maintains distinct American biomes under one roof.

French architect Roger Taillibert originally designed the dome as a combined velodrome and judo hall for the Olympic Games in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough. Following a horticultural exhibition on the site, city planners converted the sports venue into an indoor environmental museum replicating distinct biomes from across the Americas under a single ceiling.

An upper mezzanine provides views across the habitats and houses exhibits detailing the mechanics required to sustain these ecosystems.
