Ontario Science Centre Reviews

Kids love the place, and would sure visit it again. I don t see why though they charge tickets and parking.

Very nice place ... Could spends a couple days there ...lots of hands on stuff going on ...very educational

I work here repairing in the mechanical rooms. But I've also been here as a customer.i honestly live it except for the like 400 kids or more running around and screaming

Not very special. Other science centres have more of the actual science.

Perfect place for the little ones to learn and have fun at the same time.

Haven't gone ever since I was a kid and it was still fun and intuitive as a young adult.

This place rocks, so much fun. I love it,

member berries galore

Great place for kids to be around...fun with hair spikes,play area,paper making and space watch. Also you can see the tvo program science max scientists in person

I loved this as a kid not fun as an adult would recommend if young

Very nice place with IMAX cinema and only problem is that you need to take bus to reach it as it is relatively far from the center.

I like to take my daughter there because they have almost an entire floor for kids. They have so much fun exploring and playing.

Great place to bring young kids to learn about science!! Always changing the themes, allowing for multiple visits! Attended the robot roundup this weekend, and saw amazing robots and drones made by students in high school and university.

A lot to learn and do! Very interactive and great for kids!

Fantastic museum with more to do than can be done. We even had a lot of fun outside doing a cell phone sponsored VR experience. The museum covers a lot of ground and has good kid friendly touchable exhibits that are in pretty good condition. it's also fun that it's under ground and you work you're way up. They have an IMAX, but we didn't do it. There was plenty to do in the museum without the add-on experience. They also have very reasonable entry fees.

Great place to go if you want your kids to learn and have fun

Most of these reviews are too modest I was very excited to bring my family hear and although we enjoyed the day it was rather disappointing. I will start with the pros the building it self is impressive the rainforest is pretty cool and seems to be doing well, the omnimax show was also very entertaining the cons around half of the attractions where broken or just filthy I must have seen 15 custodial staff not sure why anything was dirty. The place was a ghost town it was kinda weird the entire place just seems given up on nothing is current it reminds me of the arcade in the bottom of the skylon tower in Niagra falls empty and hanging on for dear life.

My friends and I took a day trip up to Toronto from our spring break in Niagara falls and we decided to visit the science centre. There was a lot of interesting things in here that amazed me. Didnt have a lot of time to spend in here and would definitely like to spend a half day in here.

Recently went here for the 50th anniversary and I can appreciate when new exhibits are in place to accommodate a large crowd! Not only do the kids learn when the visit, but parents and families too! Thank you for such an awesome space!

Huge variety of activities, very hands on, excellent learning opportunities.
Age appropriate play areas for toddlers, youth, pre teens, and teens.
Easily occupied ages 2 through 13 from 10-3 on weekday.
As a member of school group it was very affordable.

Great too bring children of all ages to have fun and get tried , ty

Everyone should visit the science centre especially with kids. They have rotating special exhibits a few times a year. Well worth getting a yearly membership of you have kids and will go at least twice a year. Plus you can use your admission off the price of a membership if you get one the same visit.

Still so much fun, and an some fantastic educational experiences for all.

A very good experience. Just too much people and a long waiting time.

Educational, interesting & just plain fun for the entire family. Staff were friendly, lots to see & do. Extremely interactive. We spent a good four hours there without once even looking at the time. Highly recommend.

Very nice place for kids. You can spend the whole day here.

They close very early during the week, Be prepared for that because there is a lot to see and you'll want time to read and try the experiments which are awesome, fun, exciting and informative. You'll also need to be Especially early if you want to watch a movie. Other than the odd close time it's absolutely amazing!! It's got great exhibits that are fun and informative. It's a kid friendly place too.

Very good for children, too condensed for the exhibitions, too many subjects but underdeveloped

Went later in the day and they charged full price. That's how they try to dupe you into getting the season pass

Very fun, interactive and educational experience! The Centre is huge and there is a lot to explore. It is well organized and the information is very interesting and diverse. Parking is $10 flat. There are many options for snacks, food and drinks.

I have loved this place since I was a kid. It was great taking me niece and nephew. The best was hearing my niece (age 6) yell out "science is awesome!!" as she was going about doing experiments, playing, and learning about the world around her.

Virtually unchanged since I was a kid but still awesome. Why change a good thing?

Most items are broken, the planetarium has little show time. I has been coming here every year, there used to be more things to do.

Okay for kids: Lots of hands-on exhibits to play with. But light on actual science. For example, an exhibit placard might say "On such and such year, this person discovered that applying pressure in the form of water-filled vests would help prevent pilots from losing consciousness during extreme G-force manoeuvres", without talking about why applying pressure helps with that, or what biological mechanisms are involved.

Great fun for kids and adults!! Only complaint is that they shouldn't get you for parking ($10) but I guess that's Toronto..

Really fun place, except we came in with a massive group of primary and kindergarten students lol

Great entertainment for kids
Lots of activities .

Very fun and interactive. It would be great if there were hand sanitizers everywhere since everyone gets to touch so much. I felt gross and grimy a lot of the time. Bring sanitizers and wash your hands often!

Age group 1-99, so much fun and great displays and things to do. Try or out you will not be disappointed

Great place to keep the kids busy for the entire day!

"Hair raising" demo was awesome! Energy show was funny. VR dinner table theft was super cool. On the way in/ out we loved making seismograph waves like an earth quake.

Went last Tuesday with our entire Smith Haven Service Dog team and had a blast! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating! We'll definitely be back for more training soon!!

There is something for everyone, I had fun for 4:30 no time to see everything.

I came during a school trip and was unable to explore the entire center. Look forward to come back with family and visit all the levels.

The place has lots of things for kids to do. For adults it can be tedious (in my case) as there was nothing different and special to see or do. It looks more like a place with lots of schoolwork.

Me and my class went here last year for a field trip IT WAS SO MUCH FUN WE GOT TO PLAY FOR A LONG TIME I REALLY WANT TO GO AGAIN

Class field trip. Had a great time. We got to watch a show in the planetarium on the solar system. Students explored on their own for a couple of hours. We brought bag lunches.

Nice place to explore. Very interactive and keeps you occupied for hours.

A must for the self-proclaimed science geek as well as a family visit. IMAX is great and exhibits are always changing. One of my favorites.

Amazing mission to mars activity (only accessible to groups). It is still maintained for most exhibits, and some are absolute magnet for kids.

Since centre is fun. I remember going as a child in a school trip and haven't been back until recently. Lots of things to look and interact with. Be prepared doing the holidays it's quite busy.

So much to do! You can't do everything in one day! Best science center our family has been to!

Wish we had more time to explore. Can't wait to return.

I simply loved the Ontario Science center. It was breathtaking. I was truly United with nature and got to learn new things. It's an amazing place. Do visit

A nice outing with the kids! We learn a lot of things!

Great place to take the children, full of activities with knowledge. City pass is cheaper way to get access. Bit far from downtown, so plan your trip well if using taxi.

great place to bring the kids, but i think they should reorganize the place in such a way categories are more obvious. depends on the age of the kids, some of the sections are boring to them. classifications of their divisions is a must.

Not a good place for post-secondary students :(
Maybe I studied too much science
The contents are not new for me.

Out of town and wasn't really worth the effort as it's quite dated.

The Ontarios Science Centre blew my mind! You must check it out.

First rate. The baby and the big one both had a great time.

My kids love the water table, we always bring a extra clothes as his clothes get all wet

%10 off Tim Hortons inside with annual membership

Parking is $10
