Exhibitions
The Science Centre is proud to bring in special exhibitions as well as create our own. Take a look at what’s on.
ALWAYS ON
Explore beliefs and biases, learn about the boundaries of the human body and check out a real-life rain forest. Don’t forget to stop at the Science Arcade!
Explore how beliefs and biases can influence scientific research and test controversial theories related to race, gender and culture.
Explore the potential and limits of the human body. Plunge into the mind of a free diver, grapple with a climbing wall and see what it takes to summit Everest. Discover how your body deals with danger and find out what’s humanly possible for you.
Step outside into the heart of the Don River Valley ravine. With a giant Baltimore oriole nest, live moss graffiti and a slide carved from a fallen 125-year-old Eastern White Pine, it’s a unique experience you won’t forget. Open seasonally.
A learn-through-play space that offers science fun for our youngest visitors! Build your own roller coaster, rock out in a music studio and go shopping at the market. For kids 8 and under and their caregivers.
Capacity is very limited, and entry is on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors should be prepared for possible long waits to enter KidSpark.
The Space Hall gives you an out-of-this-world experience—featuring meteorites from Mars, cosmic rays, black holes and a space chair that’s really a rocket.
Capacity is limited.
Temporarily Closed
Toronto’s only public planetarium! Sit back for a fantastic voyage through the universe to learn more about our cosmic neighbours. There is a variety of shows, including one just for kids under five and their caregivers.
The HotZone is the place to pose questions, debate answers, scan headlines, view events and get the real story via multiple screens and live stage presentations.
Stroll through the TELUS Rain Forest and try to spot the poison dart frogs. Touch a tornado, crawl through a cave and check out a coral reef for an amazing natural science experience.
A visitor favourite since we opened in 1969! You’ll soon discover this classic hall has more than meets the eye.
From activities that hone your innovation skills to exciting new materials and media tools to citizen science projects and problem-solving challenges, the Weston Family Innovation Centre inspires you to take experimentation to a whole new level.
Forest Lane is a passageway filled with nature, art and the science of forestry and trees. Discover Canadian forests, visit a 464-year-old Douglas fir with a historical timeline marking world events during its life, and more.
