Get closer to nature

Do you have a day to spend visiting our four attractions?

You can start your day at the Garden, visit the Insectarium and end the day at the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium: If you’re driving, you can leave your car in the Insectarium parking area (P2) and use the pedestrian walkway under Rue Sherbrooke to walk over to the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan (plan for a 15-minute walk).

Would you rather drive from one attraction to the next? In that case, you should start the day at either the Biodôme or the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan, whichever you prefer. Your parking ticket is valid at all of the Space for Life parking areas for the amount of time you prepay (parking areas at the Garden and Insectarium are located on Rue Sherbrooke and the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan  parking area is located at 3000 Rue Viau).

Suggested visiting times for each attraction: Botanical Garden  – 3 hours, Insectarium – 1 hour, Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium – 1.5 hours. Plan for 15 minutes travel time between the Insectarium and the Planétarium Rio Tinto Alcan .

Are you ready for your visit?! Let’s start at the Botanical Garden.
