Science East is in a building with an interesting history. There is not an abundance of exhibits. Yet they are interesting. Adults visiting without children can spend up to one and a half hours at...

Such a great way to spend an afternoon! Staff was super friendly and truly passionate about science!💜 Highly recommend for a fun date, or fun afternoon of learning. Jail cell was pretty cool too...

It was nice to see that the museum was full of children however most of the training equipment is mulfunctuning.

We went to Science East during their Halloween themed weekend with our 9 year old daughter. We loved everything there but the best part of the tour was the science show. The gentleman was so entertaining and funny and at the same time explained everything that was happening. It was really interesting and a lot of fun!

Really enjoyable place' the stuff was so nice, we went for the Halloween hunted house, it was our first time there, and we will definitely come back with the kids. Spent about 2 hours there and enjoyed every second.

We sent our son to the Little Scientists camp over march break. We would100% recommend these programs for anyone.Our 4 year old son didn't want to leave. The staff was great as they always kept us updated on what was going on. They sent pictures to our email aswell. Great Job Rebecca and staff!

A gem of hands on learning. My seven and ten year olds really enjoyed themselves, we spent two and a half hours exploring the three floors of puzzles and displays. The prison museum in the basement seemed an odd juxtaposition, but was tied in through DNA evidence. The demos in the lobby were the highlight, special thanks to Amiel. Not nearly the scope of Science North, but we'll worth the visit on a rainy afternoon for $10 an adult and $6.50 a student or child.
