    We found a lot of the exhibits old & not functioning. Wasn't as fun as I remembered as a kid.

    Don't come during March break. Insane for parking, crazy crowds and just too crowded to really experience the displays.

    I think the place had to be really cool about 10 years ago... Many exhibits are quite old and boring. The building is huge but in fact the most of it is just empty...:(

    What's not to like about the Science Centre? Great for kids of all ages. Bring some snacks though - very limited (and rather awful) selection.

    This place is most certainly not worth the price of admission if you're adolescent or older. Everything here is aimed toward children. Only come if you're bringing kids.

    Worst bike parking!! For a centre w/ a science/eco focus it's a total #fail -> bring an extra lock cuz they have them so hidden it's likely to be ripped off!

    Too expensive and very disappointing. It's also very dirty. Observed a cleaning staff member just brushing dirt to the side and walk on.

    Harry Potter would've been worth $16 if we were allowed flash photography. Other than that, it was too short.

    I'm a little disappointed with the prices of the Harry Potter Exhibition's store... Why everything is SO expensive?
