Science centres are a great place to introduce
kids to science, and, to keep them interested once the little Einsteins
are regularly warming their hands over a Bunsen burner.
Every science centre we’ve ever been
to is hands-on. They're often favourite family destinations for locals
and the travelling exhibits no one ever gets bored. And if you’re
travelling, you're in luck, science centres can be found across Canada.
Visiting Vancouver? Have a sneak peak at Science
World British Columbia through their web site (below). Buzzing over
to Newfoundland? Check out the Newfoundland Science Centre before
you get there. |
