Science World at TELUS World of Science Reviews

This is a fun, cool place. While there is a lot of science stuff, it feels more like a Children's Museum with more science-y stuff going on. Conveniently located near the train.

The place provide very good education for kids generally, I loved the behind scence with Pixal

It's ok if you are going there with kids. But nothing much for the adults. And movies over there in dome cineplex are boring.

So great! Love the new area for 0-5 perfect place to let the little go and explore

Really cool place but absolutely overrun by small children showing no respect, budging, climbing on stuff and generally running rampant while their parents stand back and do nothing. Not to mention the noise of 1000 screaming kids is enough to give you a headache. I would avoid going on a weekend or outside school hours for this reason.

Great place for anyone really. Especially love the baby to toddler section. Helpful volunteers and perfect toys and playgrounds for kids to enjoy. The only thing is it gets too crowded sometimes. Would be nice if there s a headcount limits at each given time.

It's alright. Went to check out the Pixar Exhibit which was neat. Totally recommend it if learning about computer graphics, animation, and rendering is your thing.

The other exhibits were okay but heavily catered to the younger audience. Spent a max of 2 hours here.

Very well worth a yearly membership. Imax movies are amazing here.

There is no family ticket for tourists, while it is worth the annual pass. Suitable for children under 10 years.

Great place for the whole family. We spent all day here.

Great place for little ones and big ones. An amazing interactive museum.

Our family love this place, a lot of fun and interesting things!

Do you have kids? Were you once a kid? Heck, are you human? If so, you'll love this place. They have great exhibits for adults and kids alike. As long as you don't tell your kids it is more educational than school, they'll love it too!

My five year old was in heaven. This is a super interactive and incredibly fun activity. There are some real gems for the adults too. I saw my first T-Rex. It's the second largest found!

This rating is only for the kids play area. I haven't really gone elsewhere.

So happy the new floor for the water area is not slippery and doesn't flood anymore..thank you!
Love they give waterproof bibs to wear.
The climbing area is super fun and awesome. So happy they allows kids to wear shoes on there now.

Has clean Change room and washrooms.

Fun places for kids to explore

Perfect place for elementary aged children. Lots for adults and older youth to explore as well.

Went to Science World several times this year...we were mainly focused on the new Pixar exhibit the last visit. We loved all the explanation about how to make an animation and the step-by-step process that they show in the exhibit. I loved the hands-on experiences that they have for visitors and I wish my toddler was old enough to understand the exhibit...

...he enjoyed the new toddler exhibit a lot more. Speaking of which, is amazing. The Wonder Gallery is a fairly new addition to Science World and has all sorts of hands-on activities for children up to five years old.

They have a big version of brite-lite that the kids just love playing with. My toddler's favourite is the "sandbox" (with tiny rubber).

We love spending time at Science World and will be back.

Good for education, especially the young. Nice playground open for young children!

Was better before it became a Telus spot but still awesome

Very interesting place with many cool scientific toys!

Great indoor science "museum", lots of activities for all ages, nice outdoor playground.

Way over priced. Considerable displays but not enough for the volume of people that go there.

Science world gets 5 stars because its freaking science world! Always fun ways to learn new things at any age.

Its as fun going when your 10 as it is when your 30.

Awesome place to bring kids (and adults who feel like kids). :)

So much fun here. Most recently, they have the exhibit about Pixar and it was very insightful to learn about the science and work that goes into the creation of each of these movies. Lots of hands-on stations as well for everyone to play with.

Also watched a movie about volcanoes as well at the dome IMAX theatre. This was also a great learning experience for adults and kids!

loved it my granddaughter had lots of fun. We will be back.

I've loved this location ever since I was a child. No better way to make science exciting than to go to Science World. Just wish that was still what it was called. Either way, it's a must visit location, especially if you have kids!

Science world is a whole new learning experience for the family there's nothing else like science world it's a whole new world

So fun! Highly recommended to keep your kid interested in various activities

My 16 month old son loved this place, especially the early learners section for 0-5 years

The kids (age 6 to 17), love it. It took me longer to enjoy it but in the end I enjoyed it too

Interesting place. Many atractions that i had never seen before. But pricey

Went there with my 2 young kids and was completely unaware their toddler area closed at 3 so when we got there just after 3 it was closed.. definitely felt ripped off with their prices and then our toddlers couldn't even enjoy the play area. They should make it more well known.

Quite small compared to other science centers, and it felt like a kid's playground. If you are an adult, don't come here. The upstairs portion was closed (assumed for covid), and so was the theatre, and the outdoors section. All of the sections were laughably small. Good for kids, no for adults, or anyone that has been to another science center.

Fun spot for kids. The IMAX was awesome. Gets expensive but learning is worth the spend

Who said it is for kids...me and my wife go bannanas there .
Awesome dome shows as well!

Most of the displays are more of a playground rather than a science exhibition. Great fun for kids.

Extremely warm with everyone in there but all in all was a neat experience

This review is for a wedding I recently attended at Science World so can't really comment on the Science part of the experience!

What an incredible location to hold a wedding! The ceremony was on the upper outdoor deck area and the reception down in one of the large exhibit rooms. By far the coolest, most unique setting for a wedding I have ever experienced.

I have been there twice, and I enjoy playing with my 4 years old son. He love the T-Rex.

Great place to take your kids and yourself on a rainy day. Wish that there was another restaurant there next to white spot.

This is a super duper place to go have some fun. The educational kind of fun :)

This museum is perfect for children and families, but teenagers can also enjoy it without any doubt. It's fun and educative, everyone can learn, even adults. From recycling to human body, the topics spread all over human knowledge and stations are interactive and sometimes digital. Overall I recommend it because it's a pleasant destination during boring weekends: the family ticket is very convenient.

Great place to go, but does need some updating, went with my parents

Kids n i love going here the mirror maze was awesome best ive seen

Went to Science After Dark. Super fun time for grown-up kids to run around and play

A great experience over all, lots of things to see and do.

We got there at 10 when it opened and stayed til 5 when it closed! It is an all day kinda place, so much to do. The staff are helpful, and super patient! We will come here again soon

While it's mostly aimed at a younger age group, it was well worth a visit
I'm sure the after dark program is the perfect way to experience a wonderfully put together science experience
The Pixar exhibit was definitely worth the extra 8 dollars, and has some fantastic interactive displays

It's a great place for kids, not much for adults to do here. Also the gift shop was horrible, they barely had anything in there.

Beautiful location and a great place for family bonding time especially if you have young kids! Here, Science World is more tailored for the younger crowds.

You kidding me? This place has so much to see it would take you two days to see it all. End it with a nice Omnimax and call it a day. Loved it as a kid, and even more so now. Just one thing... can we just bring back the big/small room already. You know everyone wants it back.

Some very interesting exhibits, but it's a bit expensive and there are some broken things and poor placement! For example, the "Pipes of Pan" exhibit, which requires careful listening, is placed next to a loud music and light exhibit.

I'd say it is more of a Children's Museum than a Science Museum. Definitely the worse "Science" Museum I've been to. However, if you are taking your family and/or kids, than I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Not all it's hyped up to be, especially as an adult. Smaller than I was expecting, with several exhibits closed. There were a handful of well-realised items, including the mirror maze. Much of the museum is a rehash of material and experiments better delivered elsewhere, and disappointingly some with a political agenda. Some items appeared to be included without purpose or adequate explanation, and some descriptions were simply wrong. Science coverage is patchy with the main focus on ecology/environment, biology and discrete maths. Food and drink provided in-house was poor. We did not attend a screening in the IMAX. Expensive even as a student at over $20 for entry.

Great facility for kids to explore and learn. We got a family membership which pays off if you visit two times in a year. Make sure you pay your parking from inside science world otherwise it is $40.00 from outside meter machine. Cost $12.00 from inside so big difference. I was waiting for my sister and nephews to arrive but wants to use their washroom but the greeter won't let me go inside said I have to pay first but I can't pay for the membership since they have to take photos for each member and they are not here yet. The much bending the rules for your guests spenting over $280.00, family membership plus 2 adult pass. I go across the street where Starbucks doesn't have public washroom, Tim Hortons and A & W share a restroom but with a sign said not in service a bit frustrated walking around four corners trying to find a washroom. Let's say I am only there because of my nephews.

We were adults in a kids museum. And it was awesome

My daughter wanted to see the Pixar exhibit. We came up from Washington state, and were not dissapointed. Easy access from the train and lots of other attractions, although mostly geared towards the younger set.

Great place to spend a day with kids or even for adults to learn some new facts, experience science, and build interest in the world around us!

Great fun! Lots of cool stuff to see and do. Only slight negative was the slightly confusing layout and the bazillion kids running around like headless chickens!

Certainly has something to offer. It has over 11 exhibitions, and all of them are filled with interesting things to discover. Overall, it's a pretty good science museum and I'd definitely recommend it. Bonus; it has a what's called "Omnimax". I've been there, and it's stunning! Imagine a film, but in 180 degrees watchable view. Yep. Omnimax is a movie theater inside this museum that will project a film to the entire roof. That's 180 degrees of watchable film!
