Science World Vancouver
Telus World of Science and the OMNIMAX theatre, commonly called Science World, will entertain your entire family with many hands-on exhibits and displays

Science World Vancouver, properly called Telus World of Science, due to its corporate sponsorship, is located in a large and striking geodesic dome over looking the east end of False Creek that has become a major city landmark.
The striking dome was originally the Expo Centre building during the Expo 86 World's Fair in Vancouver. It is easily accessed by Vancouver public transit from the Main Street - Science World SkyTrain Station.
This popular venue offers families a wide range of both permanent and changing interactive and educational science exhibits along with a variety of fascinating shows in the OMNIMAX theatre.
You can travel from Telus World of Science to Granville Island and Yaletown with either of two privately operated passenger ferry services; False Creek Ferries or Aquabus that link various points around False Creek. As these are not part of the Public Transit system additional fares apply, however, they are not expensive.

Telus Science World Reviews
Rated
It was fun and sometimes very enlightening. There are some attractions/problems that even adults were not able to solve which was very funny. Will recommend if you have kids like from 3 years to 16-17z. We stayed there for 4 hours which can speak about the experience.

Full of kids in the morning because of spring break. In the afternoon it was less busy. Overall the experience was great. All the exhibits were open. The special stage show was "slideshow science" which is the science of things like sword swallowing, it was a interesting. But not appropriate for kids under 5, I think.

We had a fantastic time at Science World! The interactive exhibits, especially the puzzles, were super engaging for both kids and adults. The hands-on activities and educational displays kept us entertained for hours. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the environment was clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend this place for families looking for a fun and educational outing!

We had a blast at Science World with my kids (ages 1 & 4 years). I would say it’s geared more towards kids 2 and up, but our 1 year old still found plenty to have fun with (the water play area was a big hit!). We stayed for 2.5hrs and didn’t even get through all of it, so I think a family could totally make a whole day out of it if they wanted to.

Great experience for kids and family! So much better and we are happy we visited this place coming out of other province. You can Re enter the place just get a stamp from the front desk and i recommend eating lunch outside and just go back. The restaurant inside is expensive and salty in my opinion. Over all it did not affect the rating for science World since we really enjoyed our visit there.
