In the Foundation of Optical Science area you will find the optical laboratory of Ibn Al-Haytham, a 10th century Muslim physicist who invented the pinhole camera. My kids were really thrilled to conduct different experiments in the laboratory.

My husband and I both visited the Science Centre often when we were kids (mumble mumble) years ago, but we have never been there together. We have recently been talking about visiting the Science Centre when we visit Toronto again. It’s a place that holds fond memories for both of us and fostered our appreciation for the sciences.

I moved here a little over 8 years ago from the States and my hubby is Canadian. I love having him take me anywhere and everywhere that he can so I can learn and see everything Canada has to offer. This is one of my priorities to go to the Science Centre here in Ontario. A must see. I would sure love to win this so I could send all sorts of pics and stories back home to my kids and family. They would be thrilled to see them.

Katherine Moore says
I always loved visiting the Ontario Science Centre. It’s been about 15 years since I was there last. My kids have never been as of yet. I think this year though they would really enjoy it and learn lots while exploring through the exhibits. My 6 year old Son especially would love it. He has a special place in his room he calls his museum which displays all his precious things. He enjoys setting up everything and then having our family walk through his exhibit. Somethings are for viewing only but he also sets up some interactive displays and enjoys talking about his collection. It’s very cute. I think he would get a lot of great ideas of how he can add to his exhibit at home if he had a the chance to come to the Ontario Science Centre. He is a very curious little boy.
Victoria Ess says
Yes i have been to the OSC before!
renee says

Victoria Ess says
Of course I have been before!
Robyn B. says
I have been, but not since I was a kid and I would really like my daughters to experience the Science centre just like I did.
Victoria Ess says
Yes I have been and I love it!
Katherine Moore says
It’s been a very long time since I’ve been to the Ontario Science Centre but I always enjoyed visiting. I loved being able to touch things when learning something new. It was so much fun exploring the different rooms. I think my 4 and 6 year old would really enjoy it. If we don’t win I’ll have to make sure we go this summer regardless. It’ll be a wonderful place to visit often as they grow up.
Karen E. Hill says
I have been but not in donkeys ages. I am sure its been updated since then and would love to see it now
sarah miller says
It’s been a few years but my boys and I have probably been a dozen times!! so much fun !
Katherine Moore says
It’s been ages since I’ve gone but the memories I have of going to the Ontario Science Centre were all wonderful. Looking forward to sharing this gem with my kids. They are budding scientist who would thoroughly enjoy exploring all that the Ontario Science Centre has to offer.
Katherine Moore says
It was probably 20 years ago since I was last at the Ontario Science Centre. I was lucky enough to go many times and each time my experience was unique and fun. I always had a great time exploring with friends and family throughout all the exhibits. I would love the chance to take my 4 and 6 year old. They have never been but I know they would have a fantastic time. I would also enjoy re-visiting one of my childhood stomping grounds. I know it will be different from what I remember because the exhibits are always changing (as they should), but the essence of the Ontario Science Centre will always stay intact. It’s a wonderful place for children and adults of all ages to explore, learn , touch, experiment with and ask questions. It would be a wonderful family outing to visit the Ontario Science Centre.
corrine says
yes i have been several times to the science center i love going there
Katherine Moore says
I have been to the Ontario Science Centre but it’s been a really really long time. I would love to come back and explore with my kids. They are 4 and 6 and have never been to the Ontario Science Centre. I know they would love it. They are very curious little guys and love learning by getting right into the action. Hands on exhibits really appeal to them. Hope to win this fantastic prize for them.
lisa drew says

Mark Rutledge says
The entire family loves the interactive displays at the Science Centre. We try to visit a couple of times a year
Katherine Moore says
It’s been about 20 years since I’ve been to the Ontario Science Centre. I can only image how much it’s changed since I was last there and how much fun it would be to bring my 2 little ones to learn and explore at one of my most favourite childhood stomping grounds. It’s wonderful to have such an incredible place that supports kids curiosity.
Ava Mifflin says

I was lucky enough as a little girl to visit the Ontario Science Centre several times through brownies, girl guides, school trips and family staycations. Now that I’m all grown up and have a 4 and 6 year old of my own, I would love to take them to explore this amazing hands on, kid friendly, place which supports and fosters a love of science and curiosity. My kids have never been yet but they are ready for it.
Whitney says
My kids LOVE the Science Centre, but it’s gotten super expensive. Would love this and it would get a lot of use!
Elizabeth D. says
I love the IMAX films that they do because there’s a lot of walking around so it’s nice to sit and relax while still learning. 😀
Lisa says
Last time i went to the science centre was 10 years ago with my son on his school trip! now I have 2 more kids I would love to take as well
Katherine Moore says
I have been to the Ontario Science Centre as a child. Now I have children of my own who haven’t been to the Ontario Science Centre but I know they would love it just as much as I remember loving it. A cousin of mine just took her 4 kids and they had a blast. A highlight was playing on a child life size Lego building- sounds amazing. My curious little ones would have a blast there.
Elizabeth D. says
I really enjoyed the Marvel exhibit from about 8 years ago. They used superheroes to show kids how science and the human body work.
Katherine Moore says
I have wonderful memories of going to the Ontario Science Centre with my family and on school trips when I was little. It’s a wonderful place to support curiosity. I have two curious kids of my own now. They are 4 and 6. The perfect age to explore the Ontario Science Centre.

They have never been to the Ontario Science Centre. I know they would love it. We have countless science kits/experiment projects- they are fascinated with science. I know it would be a fantastic family adventure.

I want to learn and know all I can of Canada and its history etc. As I am older now I want to tell my kids back home about everything of Canada that WE were not taught or learned in school. It’s a shame that American’s are not educated in elementary and high school of our neighboring country…..especially since we are both in North America.!! I am loving all that I am leaning of Canada and it’s people etc. I miss my homeland and family, BUT I feel at home and very accepted, happy, and contented here. I want to absorb all that I can of this beautiful County of Canada!! So I would love to win and glad to have that chance.
