Map of the Centre

Some things are changing

To keep everyone safe, we will be temporarily closing some experiences, including KidSpark and the Space Hall on Level 4.  Don’t worry—we have many experiences elsewhere in the Science Centre that are very popular, especially with our younger visitors! Check out What to Expect for more information.

We are built into a ravine—the higher the level number, the farther down you go!

Level 1

How to get here

It might sound backwards, but at the Science Centre, level numbers increase as you descend. Level 1 is one floor up from Level 2 (the entrance level). Visit our famous Van de Graaff generator and try the Hair-raising Experience, located right outside the Energy Show entrance. Access Level 1 from the lobby or through the Procter & Gamble Great Hall using the stairs, escalator or elevator.
