Ontario Science Centre

About

The Ontario Science Centre is a science museum and organization based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Proposed as a major project for Toronto's participation in the Canadian Centennial in 1967, the original location opened to the public in September 1969. After decades of use, the location closed in 2024. The museum currently runs a small display space in Sherway Gardens mall, awaiting the creation of a permanent location. The original site was located near the Don Valley Parkway about 11 kilometres northeast of downtown on Don Mills Road in the former city of North York. Built on the side of a ravine formed by one branch of the Don River, the museum consisted of a series buildings at different levels on the steep hill connected by long escalators with large windows providing views of the surrounding forests. The museum was notable not only for its architecture but also its high levels of interactivity as most of the exhibits were meant to be used, not looked at. Read more
