How Couple-Friendly is Science World?

81%Couple-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 81% Couple-Friendly: Couples can attend 19-plus After Dark nights with drinks and no kids or share a dome movie, yet daytime visits feel strongly family-centric and lack romantic ambiance.

Positives:

  • Event schedule varies: Check the Science World website for monthly After Dark dates and film showtimes before you go.
  • Waterfront location: Bring a light jacket for waterside breezes along False Creek trails.

Challenges:

  • Limited evening tickets: After Dark events often sell out, so plan and book at least two weeks in advance.
  • Sensory intensity: OMNIMAX films can be loud and the dome dark; sit near the back if you prefer softer audio.

  3. Wander interactive physics and biology exhibits.
  4. Enjoy free live science demos every hour.
  5. Relax by False Creek in the outdoor science park.

This place was amazing 👏 So many hands on things to do. We went with an 8, 7, 6 & 3 year old, they all enjoyed a full afternoon there. Admittedly the adults also very much so enjoyed themselves. We went during the week so it wasn't busy at all, that was nice. Now we could have spent HOURS in the massive Lego area!! But I did move the children along 😆 We spent 3 hours, again when not busy that wa...

Science World — the giant shiny golf ball that Vancouverites pretend is an educational hub but secretly visit just to poke buttons and spin wheels like overgrown toddlers. It’s a paradise for kids, sure — they run around with wide eyes and sticky hands, discovering the wonders of human anatomy and physics. Meanwhile, adults try to look intellectual while discreetly racing toy cars powered by wind ...

I had always heard great things about Vancouver’s Science World, so we came with high expectations — and it did not disappoint! The exhibits are fun, interactive, and educational. My son spent the whole day exploring with endless enthusiasm. A fantastic place for families with kids — highly recommended!

Lots of fun, plenty of things to do to keep kids entertained. Could do with more hand sanitizer about the place because everyone is touching everything, but it's there if you know where to look for it. Pretty good food options too! You can get a stamp for re-entry if you'd prefer to have lunch elsewhere though.

This is an awesome place for kids! A huge amount of interesting things to see and do. Be prepared to answer thousands of questions. They have a great playground with a water area and other things to play with, appropriate for different ages. Most of the exhibited objects are interactive and can be touched and moved. We usually attend this place once a year as our kid grows, but if you live nearby,...
