Science East — Attraction in Fredericton

We are from Northern Ontario and have close access to Science North in Sudbury - a very expansive science centre. Not going to lie - on our trip out East, when we pulled up to Science East in Fredericton and saw how small it was on the outside, we were pretty apprehensive. All concerns were washed away when we went inside. For the small space they have, they’ve done an AMAZING job.
