Lonely Planet review for Biosphère
Located in the striking spherical dome of the former American pavilion in the ‘67 World’s Fair, the center has the most spectacular collection of hands-on displays in the entire city. Exhibits focus on the world of water, the St Lawrence River ecosystem (which, together with the Great Lakes, makes up 25% of the planet’s freshwater reserves) and emerging ecotechnologies. Hands-on exhibits all involve real water, and though primarily geared to kids, big people will also find it worthwhile. The upstairs Visions Hall offers a great view of the river.
