The Ontario Science Centre in Toronto offers much more than child’s play. After a whopping $47.5 million worth of improvements, the popular destination is ready to wow families with a range of instructive and entertaining new experiences.
The Science Centre is committed to inspiring future innovators, and the majority of new exhibits focus on
doing just that. Kids 8 years old and under have their own area, KidSpark, where they learn the details behind everything from building a roller coaster to operating a cafe. The area is so popular that it’s had to double in size, allowing plenty more room to challenge young minds.
For older kids, the Weston Family Innovation Centre offers some very cool exhibits. “Liar” seats visitors across from one another to teach them some of the telltale facial signs that suggest deception (including shifty eyes or a forced smile). Meanwhile, “Flirt” showcases guests’ inner Don Juan by testing their ability to keep their cool when talking to a crush. Visitors can also make music with nontraditional instruments, craft shoes out of hemp and peruse some of the other 50 new experiences meant to inspire ingenuity.
