Visitors and traveling families love a trip to Science World when they visit Vancouver, British Columbia. It looks like a huge golf ball from the outside and it has shiny lights that cover it that sparkle in the night sky. It is an interactive hand on science centre with much to discover and explore. There are mazes, explosions (safe ones!), a beaver lodge and laser shows to name a few. This attraction was primarily created for the Expo in 1986 and now it targets the audience of toddlers to teenagers.

Adults love this interesting attraction and they can take the kids to a surround sound movie at the OMNIMAX Theatre. Only a short trip from the city’s edge, you can take an Aquabus or the SkyTrain to get there. There are also summer science camps, birthday parties, day camps, preschool curiosity club, weekend programs, special events and so much more. Enjoy five galleries that are home to permanent popular exhibits and see upcoming new exhibits by checking the website. Take the family on your next trip to Vancouver!
