Science World at Telus World of Science Description

Kids will have so much fun playing here that they'll forget they're learning. One 6-year-old boy was so mesmerized by the Sound exhibit at the entrance that he barely got through the front doors. Nature-loving kids won't want to leave the Search exhibit, where visitors crawl through a real beaver lodge and climb into an 800-year-old cedar tree. Hands-on explorers and inventors will love Eureka, where they'll shoot ball cannons into a waterfall, build dams, and lift their own body weight on a giant pulley.

Kid Tips

Babies: A quiet nursing area and rest room is conveniently located in the Kidspace exhibit.

Toddlers & Pre-K: Kids age 2-6 will have a ball (literally) in the Kidspace exhibit, with numerous fun hands-on exhibits and big toys. Bring tired kids to the story corner in the Sara Stern Gallery, a designated quiet zone with books and pillows and a rocking chair.

School-Age Kids: The Eureka exhibit provides endless hands-on fun for the school set.

Pre-Teens & Teens: Older kids enjoy the mind-twisting effects of the Illusions exhibit.

Planning Notes

Take to the sky. The SkyTrain is a fun way to get to Science World, and stops just outside.

Dining options are available. Brown baggers can use the café area before 11:30 a.m. or after 1:30 p.m. During peak hours, though, food service is provided by White Spot burgers, with many kid-friendly options.

The Bodyworks exhibit is not for sensitive viewers. Narration and images of nudity, sexuality, and childbirth are a great discussion starter for kids who are ready for this information. If you're not sure, check the Web site in advance for downloadable information about the Bodyworks exhibits on reproduction.

Catch a show. Science demonstrations are front and center here, and free with admission.
