Ingenium – Canada Science and Technology Museum
Musée des sciences et de la technologie du Canada
A highly interactive national science and technology museum, with a steam locomotive hall, an illusion kitchen and hands-on experiment areas that are ideal for children.
Reopened in 2017 after renovation, the exhibits include a train hall, medicine, communications, home technology and the 'Crazy Kitchen' illusion house. The old lighthouse at the entrance is a local landmark. Admission is about CAD 17, and family tickets offer better value. Located on St. Laurent Boulevard in the southeast suburbs, about 15 minutes' drive from downtown, and reachable by bus.
