Montreal Science Centre

The Montreal Science Centre is a museum located in the Old Port of Montreal that spans multiple floors with interactive exhibitions about scientific topics. The building contains different areas where visitors can learn through hands-on experiments and technical demonstrations.

The museum was founded in the early 2000s and occupies a former harbor area that once housed cargo ships. The location has shifted from serving trade to serving education and discovery.

The center helps visitors discover how science shapes everyday life and how local communities solve real problems through technology. By exploring hands-on activities, people see that scientific thinking applies to many aspects of daily living.

The museum is fully accessible to people with mobility concerns, and visitors can easily reach it by public transportation. The harbor location is straightforward to access and provides a comfortable setting for exploring.

A special area called Mini Mondo lets children explore their surroundings with purpose-built stations and discover scientific concepts through play. This section shows that young visitors can develop scientific thinking through exploration and discovery.
