Science World
Science World at TELUS World of Science
A giant silver geodesic-dome science centre at the east end of False Creek. It is a legacy of Expo 86, with hands-on exhibits and a dome theater that makes it good for families.
The silver sphere of Science World was the symbol of Expo 86. Today it is an interactive science centre with exhibits on the human body, nature, physics, engineering, and space. It is ideal for children who want to learn by doing. At the top, the OMNIMAX dome theater shows science films. Admission costs about CAD 35, and movies cost extra. It is on the east shore of False Creek. The Main Street–Science World SkyTrain Station is within walking distance, or you can take the False Creek ferry from Granville Island. Nearby, the Olympic Village has a brewery and a waterfront walkway.
