Definitely worth your while! So many interesting things to do and see. Kids & adults will have a great time. They close @ 5pm daily so expect to spend 2-3 hours there. Parking is $10.00

I love the OSC. It is a life saver 4 parents especially in the winter. My 5 yo daughter loves the planetarium and the other area. My only issue is that the place provides a lot of stimulus.

Jenn Millington

Great place for the day. Pack a lunch and put in the lockers. $1 each time you open it. Lunch tables are hidden behind the three little circles with benches . Can be tricky to find.

Abeer Al-Mokbel

Amazing place !If you have kids, don't miss their kids section ! Children as young as 1 year will have fun there. Also, older kids ( 3 years and up) and their families will enjoy the planetarium !

Mahrukh Hakim

For scientific/tech lovers - you need to spend an entire day here, there's too much to see and explore! If you're below 25, ask for a youth ticket and get $6 off!

Nathan Maharaj

The culture exhibit on the 5th floor if hard to get to from the escalators, but it's worth seeking out. Really smart stuff. Never crowded .

Andrea MacKinnon

A great family day out. Enjoy interactive science exhibits and demonstrations. If you have the time, head to the IMAX theatre and really experience science up close!

mowhamad rexa

Fun place for kids. it has a good I-MAX theater that you should go. although i have been in a better I-MAX in Tehran's ABO-ATASH park .

Oz Lubling

One of the best places for kids in toronto. Plan on spending at least a couple of hours exploring the vastness that is the science center.

Erik Russell

Great place for kids and families. Very interactive exhibits . Save time for the current Human exhibit . Try NOT to end up in the front row of the IMAX theatre! ;-)

Nadia Ju

children are laughing and speaking out loud so it is a bit of annoying. Many facilities to play and learn! Fun time for a whole day.

Rae

This place was fantastic in the 1970s when i came as a kid. With all the updates it is just as engaging for kids and adults today.

Check out the front yard where you can play music on a fountain and navigate a water maze. // À l'entrée, vous pouvez jouer avec une fontaine musicale et traverser un labyrinthe aquatique.

Future scientists will love all the hands-on science experiments—dress for the mess as your little chemist will probably love to learn how to make potions and “launch” an egg into space.

Mimi

Fun place with a large group of friends. You've got to experience the IMAX films while you're there.

Raymond L

Game on - A must see for guys who are born after 70s, especially to those who love arcade .

Mehdi Koushyari

It's a very nice place for kids and adults . I'd really enjoyed Mythbusters shows. Don't loose it.

Andy Guinigundo

Come early. This place is big. It's a good mix of a children's museum and a science museum .

Abeer Al-Mokbel

Try to go as early as possible. The place is huge, and you will need the whole day !

Preet Chandhoke 陳學必

Must visit this, real fun and learning experience for kids.

Hendrik Pape

Be sure to check out CSI: Live, it's free with your admission. The 30 minute show is a great way to start your visit. It's only here for a limited time though!! Read more

Lots of water fountains and toilets throughout, which was great! Had lots of fun with 2 (somewhat) adults , no kids!

Bridge is still under repair, need to take the shuttle. Turtle odyssey was great!

Lily Jung

Free wifi is available only in the Great Hall. Phone reception is not always available in the lower levels.

Mike Schwede

A must see in Toronto. Great for kids. Hands on. But a science center without free WiFi is a little #Fail.

Cheryl Duggan

The Brain Exhibit really gets the neurons firing.

Joseph Nanni

Make sure you teach your children the science of selecting and purchasing fine President's Choice brand products.

The Harry Potter Exhibition was good, but the rest of the exhibits are showing a lot of wear and tear
