Back to Ontario Science Centre
In the not too distant past the exhibits were much more science oriented. All that was taken away and replaced by something that is inferior to what used to be there. Its lost its awesomeness as a result.

I visited the Science Center for the first time yesterday and was very disappointed. It was out of date and many of the interactive exhibits were out of order or broken. The Science Centre is more aimed at primary school children than secondary school or university students and certainly not adults. There was nothing from a science perspective that was current (within the last five years) and educational. I expected that the Science Centre would educate both adults and children with current scientific findings and advances. It is very easy to find information on scientific advances from fifty to a few hundred years ago on the Internet. It is very clear to me that the Science Centre lacks a long term vision and clearly thoughout strategy to promoted interest in science.

Overall, the OSC was one of the cooler attractions I saw on my trip. The best parts of it were the exhibits on diversity and water. It reminded me of COSI, a similar-structured attraction here in Columbus. This was absolutely an amazing facility to visit--I would go there again in a heartbeat!

The place is really fun. The thing I most liked about it is that I liked the fish that was projected on the ground. It was a lake with koi, and it rippled whenever I touched it. I liked it because I didn't get when, but I had the impression that I was in water!:)

Great place to hang out, there is always something new and exciting. Huge place and will take the whole day to get around. A bit expensive though, but great overall..!

When my teacher told us that we were going to the science centre I thought it was going to be boring, but when we got there and my friends and I started to look at around, well, we had a blast. They worked so hard in getting it together and they did an excellent job. Oh my goodness, the rainforest was the most realistic part in there. Beautiful. I would definitely reccomend going there and i am for sure going again.

My sister and I loved this when we visited in our late teens. There are 5 levels of exhibits! We spent 5 hours there! There are children's play areas and countless science learning things. The OmniMax theater is a must-see!
