Vancouver Science World Reviews

Vancouver Science World

Review of the Vancouver's Science World
It certainly entertained 3 of my kids as well as the adults on a rainy Vancouver day. It is like going to an amusement park but with educational value. We visited midweek when the local kids were still in school and it was like having the place to ourselves. The skytrain is very close so getting there from our hotel was very easy.

Review of the Vancouver's Science World
I thought this was going to be just some boring place for kids but was totally wrong. I had a great time my 34 year old self. But, there was a toddler zone which i want to get a seasons pass for because my daughter had so much fun in. It was well set up and fenced in so i could just sit down and let her tear the place up!

Review of the Vancouver's Science World
I absolutely loved science world when I went there. It has so many things that you can do there. There was this thing where you stap a peice of fabric around the top of your head and you compete against another person to see who is more relaxed. I do not know how it works but it does. There are also other attractions inside the building like this other thing. There is a plastic box bolted to the ground and anyone, no matter your size can fit in it. I tell you this place is is massive. I didn't go though the whole place in one day. If I had the opportunity to go for a second day, I would. From the outside, this place is cool. It is just a massive dome that lights up at night.
I would definitely go again. This place rocks!


Review of the Vancouver's Science World
Science World is loaded with first-rate adventures for kids from toddler age to early teens; you'll want to spend at least a couple of hours here. Throughout the day, special shows, many with nature themes, are presented in the OMNIMAX Theatre -- a huge projecting screen equipped with surround sound.
