Monarch butterflies While in Mexico, in January, a friend told me about the monarch’s winter residence. It is around here, not too far away. However, I did not have time to visit. When I came back here, I found out that the Science center of Montreal was featuring the flight of the monarch in a 3D film, Flight of the... More

Went to see the star wars exhibit last summer and it was well worth going - the models and the original cosumes were very well displayed. Only disapointment was at the end, an interactive display was supposed to send you a picture with your experience and we never got ours - 3 of us went and we were all bust.

I would have a hard time recommending this museum due to its lack of exhibits. There were basically four exhibits when we were there, and one of them was for 4-7 year olds, so too young for my kids. Out of the other three exhibits, one was a series of science "experiments" in a large room that you could try... More

Very kids friendly place, clic for toddlers and science 26 for older kids and even adults. We spent 5 hours there, had lots of fun. Parking is $18 for full day, can walk to other place for fine food and come back to save another park $$

We happened to visit when the center was filled with school field trips so we weren't allowed to enter two of the three main areas. The one zone "26" that we were allowed to experience was filled with students so there was always a line up of about 5-6 kids per station. Perhaps it would have been a better experience... More

Government run faciltiy, sadly you dont get what you pay for. Thinking we were seeing a feature film for the hefty price tag, we end up with a 30 minute 3D propaganda film. Popcorn was stale, drinks watered down. And parking that was another $20, all in all a terrible Spring Break day

The Science Centre is very well done and has a million things for the kids to do and play with. They are very well constructed to be almost kid proof. We had a 6, 8 and 10 year old and they never ONCE said they were bored.

The Montreal Science Centre is a good attraction for families. It's good for a half day of entertainment. The traveling exhibit was on music, which was probably more entertaining for my wife and I as amateur musicians than the kids. The other exhibits were similar to other medium size science centers I have visited. The website is a bit confusing... More

Spent about 4 hours at the Science Museum today and it was very enjoyable. We (parents and pre-teen daughters) had fun and learned a lot at the "Science 26' exhibit. Then we took in the enthralling Butterflies Imax show. Afterwards we created a news report together at the idTV exhibit and then played the Mission Gaia game together. We found... More
