Here are some more of our most popular exhibits:

Water And Our World

One of the Centre’s newest features, the Water and our World exhibit graphically illustrates where our water comes from and why it’s important to conserve this important resource through interactive, water-based activities. A touch-screen quiz helps foster additional learning about our water supply.

Tension on Suspension

Kids love to run on this life-sized suspension bridge on the second floor of the Centre! It’s a great opportunity for kids of all ages to see how a suspension bridge works while testing the strength of the cables by detaching and reattaching the cables.

The Bubble Room

The most iconic room in the Discovery Centre, the Bubble Room has been delighting kids of all ages for decades! Here, visitors delight in the pure and simple wonder of bubbles through the large-scale Body Bubble, the Bubble Wall and the Bubble Tub with its variety of bubble wands for free-form bubble fun. Through hands-on bubble play we teach children about viscosity, surface area and molecules.

Build Your Own Coaster

For the budding engineer – this super-cool exhibit will give visitors the opportunity to build their own roller coaster and explore the concepts of engineering and physics as they try to build the coaster that will keep their ball on the track.
