History of the Ontario Science Centre

Things to See and Experience at the Ontario Science Centre
The Ontario Science Centre is made up of several smaller centers that explore science in different ways. Some of the highlights of the Center include: The Western Family Innovation Center: Made up of more than fifty dynamic science experiences, this center is directed to the 14 – 24 year old age group and allows youngsters to explore science like never before. From designing footwear to mixing music on a wall, the Western Family Innovation Center encourages youngsters to think ‘beyond the box’ and brings science literally to their fingertips. The Telluscape: A green feature created outside the Ontario Science Centre to encourage visitors and neighbors to explore the outdoors among walkways that take them through indigenous plantings and a wetland. Visitors can delight in FUNtain – an ingenious musical art creation or simply soak in the smell and experiences of nature, far from the hustle and bustle of an otherwise densely populated area. The Telluscape is open 24/7 and is accessible free of charge. The Link Between Art and Science: To hit home the point of how much science is part of our everyday lives and even affects the way artists work, the Ontario Science Centre showcases three installations that explore the relationship between science, art and technology. These include the FUNtain described above; a kinetic artwork that represents change in the world by Canadian artist David Rokeby, entitled ‘Cloud’; and a sculpture depicting a meandering river by Stacey Levy, entitled ‘Lotic Meander’. Kidspark: A space where children from toddler age to around eight years old are given the chance to explore and develop their ‘inner scientist’ in a creative and supportive environment. Kidspark runs regular parent/tot meetings, workshops and learning sessions. Click to book your Toronto City Hop-On Hop-Off Tour.Visiting Ontario Science Centre
