Lonely Planet review

Popular with packs of marauding school kids - expect to have to elbow them out of the way to push the flashing buttons - this high-tech science center illuminates the eye-opening world of space. There's plenty of fun to be had battling aliens, designing a spacecraft or strapping yourself in for a simulator ride to Mars, and there are also movie presentations on all manner of spacey themes.

There's a free-entry stand-alone observatory (open weekends, weather permitting) across from the main entrance, and a popular planetarium that runs weekend laser shows (tickets around C$11 ) with music by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd.
