The Montreal Science Centre in the Old Port provides an engaging hub for curious minds. This family-oriented museum hosts a blend of permanent and rotating interactive exhibitions that explore how science and technology influence our everyday lives. With topics ranging from dinosaurs and Star Wars to the science of emotions, the centre transforms learning into a hands-on experience. Highlights include the impressive IMAX® TELUS Theatre, where 3D films bring the natural world to life with a 36,000-watt sound system, and a convenient nine-vendor food court to recharge between exhibits.
