I believe I heard people saying it was $10 or $12 to park there.I was in bus group, but I know they have paid parking. The restaurant is a sit down place, at the back of the science center. I would call ahead to confirm the opening hours.

Hi! Yes, we are currently open to the public. For the month of August 2020 we are open from 10AM - 4PM on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays only. We are requesting that visitors purchase their tickets in advance online and that they wear masks while visitors. As measures in line with provincial guidelines, we have a limited capacity of 500 visitors, and some experiences at the science centre have been temporarily closed or modified to ensure that everyone is safe while they are having fun! You can find more information on what to expect for your visit on our website!

Yes there are ramps and elevators

Hi Karen - these are all options! 1 - There are a number of picnic tables located on site both outdoors and indoors near the entrance to the science centre. 2 - We offer a number of lunch and snack options at our food court, Elements. It is open from 9:00am to 5:00pm daily. 3 - Once you pay for parking for the day, you are welcomed to leave to eat and return.

Hi Patty — Robert's answer is accurate as of June 2018. General Admission for Seniors (65 & older) is $25 CAD plus taxes. We also have a Grandparents Annual Membership with great value for $180. Benefits included are annual admission to both Science North and Dynamic Earth for two (2) grandparents, and up to two (2) visiting grandchildren, 17 years of age and under, for each visit. The membership also includes 50% off admission tickets for up to four (4) accompanying guests per visit.

Hi Priscilla! Thank you for your question — You can absolutely come in to buy a gift from the Whizards gift shop without paying for admission to the science centre. You do not have to buy a ticket to go to the gift shop.

Hi! Thank you for your question! As others have mentioned, there is free public wifi on our site. A password is not required to access our public wifi; you will have to agree to our wireless network terms of use to access. :)

Thank you for your question! We absolutely welcome even the youngest visitors to our science centre! I especially recommend the TD Canada Trust Toddler's Treehouse (located off the ramp between the first and second floor). Throughout the science centre there are also many hands-on exhibits and fun things to try and see, and our Bluecoats are happy to help you find activities that will be appropriate for a 1.5 year-old. We look forward to your visit!

Thank you for your question! Some visitors have left great responses, and I will add that our science centre features many hands-on exhibits and experiences (great for little ones to get their hands onto to play and explore), and there are some experiences especially for toddlers, such as: the TD Canada Trust Toddler's Treehouse, located between the first and second floors of the science centre, which is, as others mentioned, filled with play structures and hands-on activities. There are also Toddler-friendly exhibits such as the stream table on the third floor (a water and sand based exhibit), a play kitchenette, a magnetic ball-and-tube maze wall, and puzzle toys on the fourth floor, and more! Our Bluecoats will also be happy to engage you and your little one in fun activities. - Nina Nesseth, Staff Scientist, FedNor CyberZone

We spent 5 hours there and could have spent more. There is lots to see and do. Shows/presentations/exhibits. I say plan for a full day - open to close.
