All visitors will take a shuttle from the front of the building to the Science Centre's exhibit halls.
Did you know that nature is thriving right under our noses? Discover the hidden worlds and rich ecosystems within downtown streets, city parks and even your own backyard!
Explore how our daily lives are intertwined with the natural world, both above and below ground, from trees cooling our neighbourhoods to streams carrying storm water away from our homes. Be surprised by what you uncover as you immerse yourself in this interactive exhibition that includes dozens of real specimens, multimedia experiences and hands-on activities. Peer through a periscope to find creatures living in tree canopies, learn how to create your own wildlife-friendly garden and pull up a seat at the Dandelion Café to perfect your foraging skills. Plus, take a look at how spending time in nearby nature is good for your mind and body.
Learn about citizen science as you explore the many exhibits and find out how to get involved wherever you live. Be inspired to nurture nature in your own community!
