The Best Zoos in Quebec
How this list is ordered: by how complete our listing is — how much we hold on opening hours, ticket prices, accreditation, photographs, animals and facilities. It is a measure of our own coverage, not a judgement of the venue. We hold no visitor scores or conservation assessments, so “best” here means every zoo in Quebec that qualifies for the list, fullest entry first.
Listed alphabetically
-
Montréal Biodôme
Zoo in Montréal
Only two large sealed-ecosystem buildings exist in the western half of the globe; Biosphere 2, in Arizona, is the other. It was conceived as a museum, though, rather than as a genuinely closed ecological system. The indoor recreations range from a South American rainforest, in a gallery named for Aisha Savoie-Weider after a family donation, to a Quebec maple wood, the Saint Lawrence gulf estuary and a stretch of Labrador coast.

This is not a ranking. The 8 venues above are listed alphabetically by name, the same order used throughout this site. We do not collect visitor reviews, star ratings, ticket-sales figures or a conservation-impact score, so none of those exist here to rank by — “best” in this page’s title means every venue that qualifies for this list, not first-to-last by quality. If we ever add a data source robust enough to support an honest ranking, this note and the order above will change together.
