Science
World is one of British Columbia's most popular educational family attractions
with attendance of more than half a million visitors every year (including
60,000 children on school field trips). An additional 150,000 people enjoy its
provincial outreach programs annually. Exhibitions such as Star Trek Federation
Science, Backyard Monsters: The World of Insects and The Return of the Dinosaurs
captivated the imaginations of thousands, as did the Omnimax films Blue Planet,
Beavers and Antarctica.
Science World is located in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada. We are easily accessible from both Highway 99 (from Washington
State) and the Trans-Canada Highway (from other parts of BC and Canada). We are
five minutes from downtown Vancouver and are
easily accessible via public transit as the Main Street/Science World SkyTrain
Station is located just across the street from us. If you're spending the day on
False Creek, you may want to visit us
by ferry. Both the Aquabus and False Creek Ferries make stops next to Science
World.

A nice addition to Vancouver's waterfront, this science museum sports a geodesic
dome which lights up at night. The dome is made from 766 aluminum triangles
covered with vinyl yielding a volume of 36,790 cubic meters. It was originally
the Expo Centre during "Expo ‘86" but has now found new life as an Omnimax
theater.
Today, it is a top family destination, offering educational, entertaining and
interactive exhibits. Three main galleries explore the areas of biology, physics
and music. A 3-D laser show presents fun images. The biggest attraction is the
OMNIMAX Theatre, which features science and nature films on one of the world's
largest dome screens. The Omnimax theatre holds 401 people. |
