  • We have a membership at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. However, to enter, you need to line up at the ticket counter. Nothing we could do. However, I would recommend purchasing tickets online ahead of time to skip the line. Maybe it was especially busy because school is still out. That's the reason we're in Montreal. I'm guessing it's the same for other families. There are many things to do and see here. My 6 year old daughter spent a good 2+ hours exploring and didn't complain once that she was tired. I don't think we saw everything as we were hungry and didn't want to eat fast food at the restaurant here.
  • Went with my kid on a Saturday and it was really very crowded. I was not that much comfortable. My kid really loved it though. She enjoyed that very much. Most amazing this is the rock from Moon and how they demonstrated different ways to apply science in our daily life. Very kid friendly. Lots of washrooms. There is a theatre which we did not visited. You can use the ticketing queue to book a ticket for either exhibition or the theatre, does not take that much of time. Or else you can buy online.
  • A nice science center with a good space for special exhibitions and an imax. The permanent exhibition space is a little small, but super interactive. Really great for kids. Seems more like a field trip destination than a tourist attraction. There is a small cafe by the entrance. Super disappointed there was no gift shop.
  • The science center is a classic from high school. Having gone back with my kid, it's just as great as I remember. The roaming exhibition (dinosaurs) was visually stimulating and quite informative. The permanent science exhibition on the second floor is great fun for all ages, it was great fun to revisit it as an adult. A tad expensive, but it's overall the experience was great. There are installations on site to eat, you can bring your lunch or each on site. Do buy your tickets online, you'll avoid the pre-waiting line.
  • Didn’t see any exhibits, but I did attend an event that was located in a large, spaced area. It was easy to move around and maintain physical distancing if required. I also liked seeing natural light that came from the sunrays. The electric vehicle presentations were a highlight of the Wednesday event.
