Overview
Virtual
Tour OMNIMAX
Theater
Don’t
think this museum is just for kids - it’s a phenomenal
attraction that has broad family appeal.
Housed beneath a giant silver ball that looks as
if it’s landed from another planet, this is a hands-on
science centre with hundreds of interactive exhibits. Permanent galleries explore themes such as
biology, natural history and physics .... you can blow
square bubbles, freeze your shadow on a wall, create a
cyclone or make music with your toes while uncovering
the secrets of the universe. You can even crawl through
a beaver lodge or see the inner workings of an oversized
beehive. Then there are the temporary exhibitions from
around the world that make this a
‘do-over-and-over-again’ attraction. Grossology’s
a recent favorite featuring everything you wanted to
know about the human body and how it works in hilarious
graphic detail. For example, the science of a sneeze is
illustrated by kids hurling balls at a GIANT nose which
expels them all with an enormous AH..AH..AHCHOO! Be sure
to include a visit to the mind blowing 3D Laser Theatre
featuring incredible special effects and fascinating
shows on a variety of scientific topics, as well as the
ALCAN OMNIMAX presentation. You’re not watching a film
here - you’re in it since it boasts one of the
world’s largest dome screens and a powerful 10,000 watts, 28 speaker strong sound system!
