The Ontario Science Centre offers a number of science-related activities for all ages. It caters much of its permanent and temporary exhibits to the young and budding minds of children. Areas like KidSpark are geared specifically towards children to learn through play but the centre’s “Hot Zone” for live events also prioritizes interactivity. The intermingling of interactive and educational science activities and exhibits makes the Ontario Science Centre a unique museum site that promotes the fun and playfulness of science. It also offers new science-at-home activities because “science is everywhere, and learning can happen anywhere.”
Science theme: space, nature, biology, and more Always seems to bring in new and changing exhibits
