Donny D.July 2, 2012Definitely 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
Luiz ZorzellaMarch 18, 2014I 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 MillingtonSeptember 11, 2014Great 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-MokbelOctober 16, 2015Amazing 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 HakimSeptember 29, 2014For 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!
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 MacKinnonNovember 5, 2018A 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!
Oz LublingJanuary 17, 2016One 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.
mowhamad rexaFebruary 4, 2017Fun 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.
Erik RussellJanuary 5, 2014Great 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 JuJuly 21, 2017children 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.
RaeJuly 4, 2017This 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.
ALT HotelsJuly 10, 2012Check 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.
ToryBurchMay 3, 2012Future 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.
MimiDecember 29, 2015Fun place with a large group of friends. You've got to experience the IMAX films while you're there.
Raymond LJuly 14, 2013Game on - A must see for guys who are born after 70s, especially to those who love arcade.
Mehdi KoushyariSeptember 8, 2015It's a very nice place for kids and adults. I'd really enjoyed Mythbusters shows. Don't loose it.
Andy GuinigundoAugust 22, 2014Come early. This place is big. It's a good mix of a children's museum and a science museum.- Abeer Al-MokbelOctober 16, 2015Try to go as early as possible. The place is huge, and you will need the whole day !
- Hendrik PapeJuly 11, 2011Be 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
Mark CJanuary 2, 2015The silver membership pass is definitely worth it if you go more than once in a year.
Othon BardelaOctober 17, 2015An excellent place for children learn about science. And for grownups too.
There is a very informative exhibit about the brain that us going on
Natasha DupuisAugust 24, 2012Lots of water fountains and toilets throughout, which was great! Had lots of fun with 2 (somewhat) adults, no kids!
Get a Membership and skip the ticket line!!! Unfortunately, you can't also skip the parking line! Insane at March Break!!
Bridge is still under repair, need to take the shuttle. Turtle odyssey was great!- Free wifi is available only in the Great Hall. Phone reception is not always available in the lower levels.
Mike SchwedeAugust 7, 2012A must see in Toronto. Great for kids. Hands on. But a science center without free WiFi is a little #Fail.
Joseph NanniDecember 30, 2012Make sure you teach your children the science of selecting and purchasing fine President's Choice brand products.
♥️ Mrs. Faria♥️April 18, 2014I just didn't get why the kids got a lot of places to play but they keep running in the sciences adults areas
Membership is a bargain if you have kids. Pays for itself very quickly and is a great outing.
By sure to check out Mythical Creatures coming on Oct. 9th!! Sea creatures, dragons and unicorns!! Won't doesn't love unicorns?
Scott GassonAugust 4, 2011The reptile exhabit is worth checking out (as long as you can deal with lots of pushie people)
Rhonda FairmanSeptember 5, 2010The Harry Potter Exhibition was good, but the rest of the exhibits are showing a lot of wear and tear
Jason QuehlDecember 31, 2012Food options are not for the healthy bring your own food if you don't feel like pizza pop and candy
Alina DNovember 13, 2010Kidspark is fun and educational. Their demonstration on electric static that makes your hair stand is awesome
pluckerJuly 19, 2012Don't touch any of the exhibit handles. Use alcohol gel. Be prepared to dodge rabid short ppl.
