S	Simão Pires on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice little walk inside after spending the day at the aquarium. I personally wouldn’t recommend paying the individual price to go there on purpose as it’s really small and everything can be seen in a couple minutes.
G	Gargo mail on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Its so pretty! They have some amazing birds who like to put on a show, a must see! One can take a combined ticket with the aquarium so its not too expensive.
А	Антоанета Иванова on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A place to move to the tropics. It is interesting, with many plants and animals. And a naughty and playful parrot.
N	Nader Bou Faycal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small nice and exotic place. The colors of the birds are very beautiful. The price is a little bit expensive.
Á	Ádám Norbert Cseh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's small but pretty! Combinated ticket with Aquarium of Genova and Bigo panoramic elevator!
S	Shabaaz Mansoori on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The artificial ecosystems created by humans are not necessarily in balance with those natural, smart ones. That is why BIOSFERA develops implementation frameworks that make human ecosystems smart. We call this Smart Ecosystem Engineering (SEE). SEE gives natural ecosystems a voice and a face so that they can participate in the distribution and the exchange of the value that they generate for us, for all life on earth and for the Biosphere as a whole. Biosfera has developed the operating system for Smart Ecosystems called TUPIX. TUPIX allows both the ecosystems and the communities of dependent actors to monitor, manage and control this distribution and exchange of value in real-time, secure and transparent.
B	Brigita Ciesiūnaitė on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As it ways on the website: The Biosphere is a striking sphere of glass and steel designed by the architect Renzo Piano, which you can find in Genoa’s Porto Antico (the Old Port). Here you can learn about the plant and animal life in tropical forests, and find out more about these fragile environments that are highly endangered by human activities. Visitors will have the chance of taking a close look at more than 150 species, with their fragile beauty, and you will also find out why their survival depends on all of us. You will see rare tropical plants: not only tree ferns, but also plants that are traditionally used for human activities, such as gum trees, coffee plants, banana trees and cinnamon. The tree ferns that grow in the Biosphere are the tallest cultivated plants of this species in the whole world. However, if you are not really interested in the plants and tropical animals do not go there. In size, it's really small. I personally liked it because you get close to wild animals and birds (please just don't touch them it's not allowed). It could take 5 mins to look around or half an hour it depends solely on your level of interest. If you buy the tickets that includes several attractions be careful because the Biosphere closes early (I think the last group of people enters at 18:30). We made this mistake thinking that everything closes at 19:00 and could not get in, so we came back the next day.
M	Mar Cordero on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s very nice and everything is very well cared for but it is expensive for what it is… There are exotic birds and curious plants, like tamarindo tree, arabian coffee tree and even the chewing gum tree. But you see all in about 5-10 minutes so it is not worth the price (5€ adult).
