Welcome to Hipfig's Video Guide Series on
Toronto. In this video we'll be
discussing how to get to the Ontario
Science Centre from downtown Toronto and
what to do once you get there. The
Ontario Science Centre is located at 770 Don Mills
Don Mills road in Toronto. The Science Center has
hundreds of interactive exhibits. You'll
find exhibits featuring geology, nature,
astronomical science, music, technology,
human anatomy, communications and bias,
and other artifacts of science. The most
convenient way to the Ontario Science Centre is by
taking the TTC subway and then transfer
to a bus. Take the Yonge-University
subway line heading north. Exit the
subway at Eglinton Station. You will
need to get a paper transfer for the bus
from the red transfer machines before
you exit Eglinton station. Right outside the
Eglinton station, transfer to the Eglinton East (route 34) bus
Eglinton East (route 34) bus. When bus 34 arrives,
hand your transfer to the bus driver. It
will take about 30 minutes or so
depending on traffic to get to the
Science Center.
You will exit the bus at Don Mills road
At the bus stop,
you will walk across the street to the
Ontario Science Centre
You can also take the Bloor-Danforth
subway line east. Exit the Bloor-Danforth
subway line at Pape station. Take a
paper transfer from the red transfer
machine before you exit the station for
the bus. Outside Pape's station, transfer
to the Don Mills route 25 bus. Exit the
route 25 bus at St. Dennis Drive which is
right in front of the Science Center. The
Ontario Science Center is open Monday
through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
4 p.m. It's open on weekdays and holidays
from 10 am to 5 pm. You can purchase
tickets at the ticket counter, to avoid
lines consider purchasing online if you
know the day of your visit. To save money
consider purchasing a multi attraction
card like Citypass Toronto. The Citypass
is a really good deal if you intend to
go to more than three attractions in the
Toronto area.
You can go to hipfig.com for more
details and links for the Citypass. Once
in the Science Center there are tons of
things to do.
There's the kids park, a space for kids
eight and under; the space hall
planetarium; human edge, where there are
more than 80 exhibits and how the human
body works; the science of rock'n'roll,
eight areas with different interactive
displays, historical artifacts,
informational walls, and documentary
videos. There are areas especially
designed for kids so make sure to check
out the aging machine, the amateur radio
boothe, the birds the eye view area, the
cave, the electricity demo, the rock shop,
science arcade, and the telus rainforest. My
favorite area was the ripley's believe
it or not display. For more detailed
information and links go to Hipfig's
website under Toronto under " the things
to do" tab for the Ontario Science Centre
There's a lot of interesting and
interactive exhibits. This is a good
activity on a rainy day.
Remember to bring drinks, and lunch or snacks
with you
They have a cafeteria but not much else
inside or around the Science Center. The
science center will take you at least
two or more hours depending on your
interest.
