Plan on an entire day to spend exploring and engaging with your children. The displays are very interactive for children of all ages. For the youngest, the water bubble room will hold their attention for hours (literally)! My children loved the "hair raising" static electricity demonstration.
It is a tad expensive for a large family, however, you can buy a membership for a substantial savings. Even a couple visits a year makes the membership worthwhile.

Melanie, Co-op Member

The Ontario Science Centre is a large facility with activities suitable for the entire family. KidSpark is particularly fun for the younger set with a child-sized super market, a mini music studio, a water table and bubble station, and a huge marble-run style course for balls -- something my kids will happily play with for hours!

The Rainforest, Birds Eye View and Tornado exhibits are also favourites for my kids. They also still happily talk about the static electricity exhibit where they got to see their hair stick out on end, even two years later!

If you're able to attend more than once per year, consider purchasing a membership for better value.

My favorite science center of all time! I haven't been in a few years but look forward to going back.
