Prices are quite punchy and it’s very much for small kids. We went and quickly realised this isn’t for older kids / adults. It’s not near anything else and, whilst we enjoyed some of the less hands on exhibits, probably not worth travelling to as a destination in itself.

I enjoyed my visit to Science World. It was nice to see the Expo '86 grounds put to good use. They had a temporary exhibit "Challenging the Deep" about Canadian James Cameron's deep underwater explorations. That exhibit featured both artifacts as well as short films about his exploration. (It was especially poignant as I viewed the exhibit shortly after the submersible disaster in which five people lost their lives exploring the remains of the Titanic.) Most of the permanent exhibits are hands on. These exhibits and the live science demonstrations are aimed at a younger audience. But adults can find things to explore as well.

It is always an experience visiting a science building and Science World is no exception. We first saw it from the aquabus we took to visit Granville Island. Then we visited Science World on the return trip. Great for families.

I go to science world in Vancouver at least once a week and I always have amazing service but today, I received exceptional service from Mila. My granddaughter lost her very precious bunny and the lost and found desk was closed. I was running around looking for it and Mila was in the beaver room and I asked her if anyone handed in a bunny and she said no. She told me about the lost and found Downstairs and I told her it was closed. She went out of her way to help me and she checked the list and found for me. We couldn’t find it but she was so amazing with me and my granddaughter. Thank you Mila for giving exceptional service. From a very impressed nana. Patty

I had visited Science center with my daughter on a winter day. The place is very comfortable inside with paid storage lockers to keep your belongings. Kids of age 8 & above can easily spend full day at this place. There are so many things to do and learn. There are somewhat very less activities for little children.

Went with my family with two kids, 7 and 3. They had a blast. There were activities for both kids. I don’t think we saw everything within our 4-5 hours stay. There is a food for sale on the 2nd floor but nothing too health for the kids. We brought our own food and found a lunch room tucked away on the main floor. It was clean and quiet away from the main area. Overall, it was a great day.

Science World has an interesting mix of science. There are many interesting exhibits. We visited with our young nephews and nieces and they really enjoyed it. It is obviously a small city exhibit. Enjoy it for what it is. A good rainy day attraction.
