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.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Science World’s galleries, an OMNIMAX film, and a possible After Dark event fit well into a half-day visit.
Science World After Dark:
Attend a 19+ evening event with themed science shows, beer, and wine tastings.
Tip: Book tickets online early as themes change monthly and sell out fast.
OMNIMAX Dome Film Screening:
Watch a giant-screen science or nature film inside the geodesic dome.
Tip: Buy the $6.50 add-on with your general admission to save versus film-only tickets.
Self-guided Gallery Tour:
Explore permanent exhibits on physics, biology, and illusions at your own pace.
Tip: Start at the top level and work down to avoid backtracking.
Centre Stage Live Science Demos:
Catch free 15-minute live demos on physics or chemistry tricks every hour.
Tip: Check the daily schedule at admission to time gallery visits around demos.

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,...
Visit in summer to enjoy the outdoor Ken Spencer Science Park and False Creek views or plan an After Dark event on a mild evening.
