  Cant bring self to rate more than 2 stars until Reciprocal Admission is either removed or reduced significantly. Travelling to see other science centres was a very appealing part of buying an annual membership. This change is an unwelcome one because now not only have we paid an annual fee but now pay more on top each time there's an exhibit (which is pretty much the most attractive thing) - makes the annual fee not worth it as travellers...

  This place is pretty great for the family. The smaller kids love the creative kids museum and especially the play structure. This place is often crazy busy with tons of kids enjoying the activities. Lots of other cool stuff within for the older kids to explore. They do some cool demonstrations in the atrium. The bed of nails is also pretty cool. Well worth checking out, but not a cheap day out. Also, the food is good, but very expensive for what you get. Lunch for the family was $65.

  You want to go here. If you're an adult there's plenty of interesting exhibits. If you're a parent there's something here for your kids no matter their age. The regular exhibits are great, with sections designed to appeal to various ages but they also have temporary exhibits which means there's something new and fresh here on most visits. Get the annual pass and register you plate so you don't have to pay for parking when you visit. The gift shop is great with lots of fun brain gear. I've gone just to shop there when looking for that kind of gift for people that enjoy that kind of stuff. It's also a great option in the winter when it's cold outside and the kids need somewhere to burn off some energy but expect there to be some crowds on those days.

  We went for an Adults Only night, which is held every second Thursday of the month from 6PM-10PM. There were several small interactive exhibits set up with the theme for the night, along with an excellent guest speaker we saw in a small theatre. We got to go to the main exhibits without having to worry that kids were waiting to see, it's a neat concept having adults only, it works really well. There is also drinks for sale, they aren't allowed in some areas but there is enough to see on the main floor that you can finish it before going to the exhibits. The tickets in are regular price standard admission, about twenty bucks, and drink tickets were $7.50. Parking is also $5.00, so I would advise heading there for 6PM to get your moneys worth and have time to see everything. There is also a small restaurant on the second floor, I didn't get to try anything but it looked to have several people eating.

  This is one of my favourite places. There are wonderful small children's areas as well as areas for older children and teens. The staff and volunteers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I love the outdoor play area. It also has various levels of physical challenges which suits wide age ranges. I have yet to enjoy a documentary in their theater but the live demonstrations are always engaging and informative. We are season pass holders and enjoy ourselves there during every season.
