Botanical Gardens & Biodome - 03/2013 - Part 1

Montreal is known for it's Olympic Stadium, which is just besides the famous Botanical Gardens, the Biodome and the newly reopened Planetarium. It is a great place to hang out during a day off and there are activities for everyone.

Botanical Gardens

There was a butterfly exposition this early spring and I really wanted to see it. So I took my camera and crossed the regular green houses. When I got in the butterfly room, it was amazing. Hundreds of them were just flying around. There was a guide with the different species of butterflies, but it was a holiday, and I was quite late, so none were left.
*Warning: for those who don't like insects, there are close-ups of the butterflies.*

There are different green houses with different environments: tropical, desert, japanese...
