Lonely Planet review

Climb a rock wall, catch a criminal with DNA fingerprinting and race an Olympic bobsled - this excellent, interactive museum (designed by innovative architects Moriyama & Teshima) lets you do it all. Over 800 high-tech exhibits and live demonstrations wow the kids (and the adults at the back, pretending not to be interested).

Don't miss the hair-raising Van de Graaff Generator, the terrifying Aging Machine, and the alarming exhibits in the Human Body section (analyze spit and figure out what's inside a zit). Also here is the giant domed Omnimax Cinema. Check the website for family events, including theme-night sleepovers (around C$49 , reservations required). The science centre is located in a small ravine on the corner of Eglinton Ave E and Don Mills Rd.
