Did you know?
An unusual aspect of Science World is that it was originally constructed as the Expo Centre for Expo 86, a World's Fair held in Vancouver. After the fair, it was repurposed as a science museum. The center is also known for its "Eureka!" gallery, where visitors can experience the physics of water, air, light, and sound in a multitude of interactive ways that stimulate all senses and inspire a love of science.

In the heart of Vancouver, Canada, stands a marvel of modern architecture and a hub of learning - Science World. This striking geodesic dome, reminiscent of a giant golf ball, is not just an iconic feature of the city's skyline but also a testament to the joy of discovery. Operated by a non-profit organization, Science World is a vibrant educational center that has been igniting curiosity and wonder since its inception.
Originally constructed for the Expo World Fair in 1986, this architectural wonder was later gifted to the non-profit, opening its doors to the public in 1989. Since then, it has become a magnet for millions of visitors from around the globe, each year.
Perched on the banks of False Creek, the building's unique design is a visual treat. But it's at night that Science World truly comes alive, illuminated by 391 lights, transforming it into a glowing orb of knowledge and mystery. Inside, the center is a playground for the mind, offering a plethora of exhibits and displays that make science accessible and fun for all ages.
One of the crown jewels of Science World is its massive Omnimax theatre. Seating up to 400 people, this theatre boasts a 27-meter wide screen, providing an immersive experience that is both educational and entertaining. The journey to the theatre itself is an adventure, with a ramp as long as two football fields leading up to it.
But perhaps the most astonishing fact about Science World lies in the details of its Omnimax theatre's technology. The lamp powering the huge screen is an incredible 15,000 watts. Experts suggest that if this lamp were placed on the moon and focused on Earth, its light would be visible from our planet – a fitting metaphor for the center's mission to shine a light on the wonders of science.
Science World in Vancouver is more than just a tourist attraction; it's a celebration of human curiosity and a place where science and fun meet, inspiring visitors of all ages to explore the wonders of our world.
