Ontario Science Centre, Science museum in Toronto, Canada.
The Ontario Science Centre is a science museum in Toronto, Canada, that extends across multiple building levels connected by escalators and pedestrian walkways. The exhibition spaces are distributed across different areas and cover topics from physics, biology, technology, and astronomy.
The centre opened in late September 1969 and was designed by architect Raymond Moriyama, who created a modern concrete building with clean lines. The facility arose as part of the celebrations for Canadian scientific progress in the province.
The facility takes its name from the province of Ontario and serves as a meeting point for school groups, families, and curious visitors of all ages. Many exhibits invite touching and experimenting, allowing guests to interact directly with physical phenomena or biological processes.
The museum welcomes visitors from Monday to Friday between 10 AM and 4 PM, as well as on weekends until 5 PM. A visit typically takes several hours, as the exhibitions invite participation and lingering.
The facility also operates traveling exhibitions that stop in different communities across Ontario, offering experiments and demonstrations there. These mobile programs reach places that are far from the main building.
