This is defenitely something to celebrate as Something to Celebrate!!!
This ‘Birthday Party’ celebrates 40 years of igniting curiosity in science and technology. As one of the first interactive science museums in the world, the Ontario Science Centre has been an inspiration and model for science centres that have been created since its inception. The Ontario Science Centre opened on Sept. 26, 1969, within a few months of San Francisco’s Exploratorium, the first of a new breed of science museums that actively engage visitors with hands-on, interactive experiences. This became the template for hundreds of science centres to follow. Well over 40 million visitors have passed through our doors since then.
The Science Center is open from 10am to 5pm and the regular admission cost is $18.00 for adults and $11-13.50 for children so you can save a bundle by going on their anniversary date plus you get the bonus of free cake!

Please note that although admission to the Science Centre is free on this date parking fees do apply (8.00 per vehicle) You can avoid these fees by taking public transportation and you will be helping the environment out as well!!

maybe i’ll pass then, my DH has a fear of crows… :S
i mean CROWDS
not crows!!! Lmao
I’ve never been to there before. My daughter is Grade 1, 5 years old, would girl that age enjoy it?
Went there years ago, it was an amazing place! All the hands on science displays were really cool. Would love to go again someday.
I remember growing up in the area when the Science Center opened and it cost 25 cents!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so much fun especially as a kid….it looked HUGE! haaaaaaaaaa
And yes a 5 year kid girl or boy would enjoy it.
Too bad, my girl just only 15 months..don’t think she know the sciences and enjoy it
Prue, the science center is only for boys! just kidding! they should have something there for all ages. especcially if she is the curious type.
Thanks for posting this KittyPaws… the Ontario Science Centre is awesome!!!!!!!
