Media Gallery - Montreal Biodome

On my weekend in Montreal, I needed something to do on the Sunday before I took the train back home the following day. I was deciding between going to the Biodome and going to the Biosphere, but after some brief online research, I decided to go see some animals at the Biodome. I am not much of a zoo person, but I needed to do something to pass the time. It was back to Viau station and the Montreal Olympic complex where the Biodome was.

The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts Is A Huge Art Museum

It was a rainy Saturday morning in Montreal, and fresh from my wild night at Stade Saputo for the Canada/Ireland match, I needed to find some activities to do this weekend. The torrential rain limited my options to only indoor activities, and I decided to go to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, which is the oldest, largest, and most visited art museum in Canada. This was not my first time going to a fine arts museum, and it was not even my first time going to a fine arts museum in Quebec, as I went to the Quebec Museum of Fine Arts in Quebec City last year. I got there as soon as it opened, paid my $30 admission fee, and set off to peruse its exhibitions.

Winnipeg Travels: The Forks, Luxury Hotels, and Local Neighborhoods

Here is my compilation post of everything else I did in Winnipeg that I did not cover in my previous Winnipeg blog posts. Overall, I thought my trip to Winnipeg was enjoyable in the three nights I stayed here, though I was struggling to find things to do by the end of the second night. Winnipeg felt like an isolated city, but it has its own scene and community that I appreciate.

More Airports Should Have Aviation Museums (Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada)

Across from the Winnipeg Airport is the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada, which is a great place for me to spend some time before I go into the airport and check-in. The aviation museum is this giant hangar with all these classic planes. I am not an aviation geek by any stretch, but I felt like I learned a lot looking at all these planes and learning about their roles in the aviation industry in Western Canada.

Manitoba Museum Photo Gallery

I went to the Manitoba Museum as part of my trip to Winnipeg and prior to my visit, I heard a number of good things about this museum. I have to tell you, there were some excellent exhibitions in this museum and this was one of the better museums I have ever been to in my travels. This is just like my visit to the Quebec Museum of Civilization in Quebec City, but in Manitoba.
