Science World - Vancouver

Science World - Vancouver
by Nathan

Science World Activity: I knew this place was going to be good, even before I went inside. They have a gigantic ball maze machine sitting outside the front doors. You can watch the balls go down corridors, round curves and make big drops, setting off one chain reaction after another, until they finally hit the bottom. I could have watched for an hour, but Mom said we had to go inside.

I'm glad she did. There's so many neat things to see and do at Science World I think I could spend a whole week there. My favourites are the gigantic bubble blowing machine (you need two hands for this one), the room with the boxes you open and find all kinds of weird stuff in, and the optical illusions. Jen likes the music room. It has a bunch of sound-proof rooms you can play instruments inside, and a giant keyboard you can step on to make sounds.

Science World also has a special exhibit, which changes every three months. Some of the ones I've seen are Mazes, Lego Masterpieces, Special Effects in Movies, and Bugs. Jen was afraid to look at the bugs. They weren't real, but they sure looked real, and boy were they big, and ugly too (at least five times bigger than Mom). I didn't like the show on Mazes, mostly because I got lost inside a maze. Poor Mom, she didn't know how to find me. I don't know how I found my way out, but I did. What a relief!

Science World also has a big theatre with movies that reach out to you and seem real. It's called the Omnimax. I've never been, but I think it's like the CN Imax Theatre at Canada Place. You can also have birthday parties at Science World. My cousin did and we got to look behind the walls to see how everything works.

Age group: All ages

Expense rating: Admission $11.75, 55 and over and students with ID $7.75, under 3 free. Omnimax $10, under 3 free. Combination admission $14.75, 55 and over and students $10.50, under 3 free. Parking $2-$4. BCAA discount. My cousins have a year membership at Science World. It costs only about $75 for a family, and you can go as many times as you like for a year.

+UP: The best part about Science World is that it makes learning fun. You can make things happen, see how things work, and wonder "what if?". If I ever have any questions Mom or Dad can't answer, there's always an assistant close by to help us.

-DOWN: Once we went on a rainy day and all the parking lots were full. We ended up parking on the street. By the time we walked to Science World my runners were soaked and all the gel came out of Dad's hair.

Details: Science World, 1455 Quebec St., Vancouver. For information call (604) 268-6363. Website: www.scienceworld.bc.ca Close to BC Place stadium, GM Place stadium, and Chinatown.

Area: Vancouver

Season: All seasons

Educational highlights: When I grow up I want to be a scientist. Mom says it's important to find a job you like--and I LOVE Science. Maybe if I never went to Science World, I would never have found out how much fun science is.

Fun for the adult?: I know my parents like Science World. Dad says he gets a kick out of seeing the light bulb go off in my head. I think he means when I figure something out. Mom just wishes the light bulbs would go off while I'm doing my homework too.

Plus, Dad likes trying everything too. One time he got a little carried away on the drums in the sound-proof room. We're lucky he didn't punch a hole in one of the drums. He must have played in a rock band when he was younger.

Fun for the adult?: να κάθονται να ρίχνουν και καμιά μετάφραση για να μην κουραζόμαστε οι αποδέλοιποι.
