Science World Vancouver has become my go-to destination for a captivating blend of education and entertainment. Frequent visits to this iconic institution have solidified its place as a favorite among locals and tourists alike, offering an immersive experience that never fails to spark curiosity and wonder.

The vibrant exterior hints at the colorful world of discovery that awaits inside. The engaging exhibits cater to all ages, making it a perfect destination for families, students, and anyone with a thirst for knowledge.

One of the standout features of Science World is its commitment to hands-on learning.

Whether it's exploring the wonders of physics, delving into the mysteries of the human body, or unraveling the secrets of the natural world, each exhibit is designed to inspire curiosity and foster a love for learning.

The OMNIMAX Theatre at Science World adds another layer to the overall experience. The larger-than-life screen and state-of-the-art sound system provide an immersive cinematic journey. The carefully curated selection of documentaries and educational films ensures that each visit offers a new perspective on the wonders of the world.

The Live Science Demonstrations and shows hosted throughout the day add a dynamic and entertaining element to the Science World experience. The knowledgeable and enthusiastic presenters bring scientific concepts to life, making complex ideas accessible and enjoyable for audiences of all ages.

The outdoor areas surrounding Science World are just as enticing as the exhibits inside. The picturesque setting along False Creek provides a tranquil backdrop, perfect for a leisurely stroll or a moment of reflection.

Membership programs and special events further enhance the value of a Science World visit.

Science World's commitment to inclusivity is also evident in its efforts to provide educational programs and resources for schools and community groups.

Such a strange place. The location is a bit challenging to get to. There’s nothing really around. It’s a giant dome staged in the middle of a sad, empty area. Probably a once life thriving habitat with birds and trees interacting with water. Now there’s some ugly giant highway with endless generic condos and no little shops around that make places special.

The playground on the water is great, the bike lane is wonderful. There’s tons of parking and this old expo building is quite an interesting heritage piece. Expo was the beginning of the end for Vancouver. Taking it from a lovely, diverse family city to an international tourist destination that destroyed its core and character.

The Science centre is not very appealing to me, but it’s fun for a day for the kids. However the only food is White Spot and the theme doesn’t seem to change.

The area as I mentioned has some weird, creepy, cold vibe. Inside there’s a coolness, an edge a sort of lack of human warmth, vibrance and artistry. A suggestion of what has happened to much of Vancouver as greed has become the dominating force behind it.

Forests clear cut, trees chopped down, small islands of diversity exchanged for foreign investors.

The science centre lacks some sort of living feeling and I personally can’t even stand being there. Perhaps it was built over a sacred area and the voice of the dead or unwanted still calls. Most people will never notice as people love generic, mediocre entertainment and aren’t really connected to the deeper force of life that rushes below the surface.

Perhaps it was once a sacred area covered by ugly cement and endless lines of cold, tall buildings. Whatever is going on, make it a day trip, leave and never go back for a second round....

Price is great and my two friends who are indeed indigenous but have no status because of family affairs issues, still got in for free so I respect that they acknowledge not everyone can get status of their origin.

What made me give 3 stars is the parents!!! Parents not being respectful and telling kids to give other kids a turn at things, be better.

I had to watch my son wait for 10 mins to just try something cause three boys of the same mom would push kids over and hog the sand exhibit in the mineral room. I had enough, I grabbed the wheel and said “ how about we let other kids have a turn?” Let my son use it for maybe 30 seconds to a minute and then allowed other kids to try it, while the mom stared and acted like she didn’t know English.

Then let’s go to the ball air tunnels, one mom legit trampled my son to get to the ball, I observed her constantly pushing around other kids and collecting all the balls for her kid for over 10 minutes, I got up, caught a ball while having my elbow out so she knew that she can’t push me around, I told everyone including a dad who had multiple balls for his son how rude they are and let the kids figure it out and if you see a kid that hasn’t had a turn maybe be a good influence.

My son at the water dams made sure all the littles had a spot.

Just be better parents.

I think science world should have more staff around so that all kids get a turn just like on field trips and to limit the amount of people. It was way too overcrowded and hot and there’s people in every corner. Do better parents and teach your kids respect that you...
