Discovery Centre - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Corinne Ferragne

J'ai adoré!!! À voir absolument si vous avez des enfants de 8 ans et moins. Pour les adultes, visite correcte, affiches bilingues mais personnel unilingue anglophone.
Commencez du bas en haut, ou du haut vers le bas - sinon, il vous sera impossible de tout visiter. J'y ai passé plus de 4 heures avec mon garçon de 3 1/2 ans et il me fut difficile de le sortir..!
Beaucoup d'activités pour les enfants, sur tous les étages. Belles explications sur la science, très bien imagé, les enfants jouent pendant que les adultes visitent et ce, à tous les niveaux. À visiter absolument!

Très décevant.
La personne a l'accueil aurait du m'informer que le centre est destiné à des enfants de moins de 10 ans.
Si vous êtes adultes ou uniquement avec des adolescents, le lieu est à éviter.
Quelques écrans interactifs.
Pour 17$ je suis vraiment mécontent.

It’s a very interactive museum for children, especially young ones. There are a total of 4 floors. There is an elevator, but can use stairs. The stairs leading to the third floor is like a piano, which was nice. There’s the innovative room on ground zero and hockey. The ocean room is very nice. All the floors were quite active. Visiting from NY, I have definitely never had a hockey “rink” in a museum. The price wasn’t too bad either. Unfortunately, the museum closes at 1600, which is quite early for me so best to make other plans if you want to stay out with kids past that time.

This place holds a special place in my kids heart. We visited this place after seven years. My kids enjoyed however we just spent 45 minutes there as it was closing. I think that was enough time for my kids to explore the place again otherwise they might be bored. They enjoyed the place well so no complaints

In fact, this is a very interesting place for children, where on 4 floors in sum you can learn interesting sides about things like different types of energy, or about the hockey. There is a small cafeteria and a room where children can do different things, which I called for myself “teaching a child to love science.” But in my opinion the price is higher than normal. Let’s just say that either there is a need for more space with something more interesting, or the price is a little lower. In my opinion it’s too much now.

Wouldn't come here unless you have kids 7 and under. Our 10 year old got bored fairly quickly because she felt too smart for most of the quizzes.

I've been to science centre in Toronto and this seemed pretty small by comparison.

Went through the whole place in under an hour.

Saw this place is attached to power station and seems like it's their attempt at either green washing (making them seem environmentally friendlier than they actually are) or some charity write-off expense.

One section was talking about "clean coal" and how fossil fuels are necessary for the future. Also had section where you scan items and it tells you how much energy it required to make and transport. Trying to hammer home how important oil is.

Would probably spend my time/money do something else instead.

My family purchased an annual pass to the Discovery Center, and it has proven to be a fantastic choice for weekend outings. This place is a haven for children, offering a plethora of exciting exploration activities.

The Discovery Center boasts an array of interactive exhibits that encourage curiosity and learning. From hands-on experiments to engaging displays, children have endless opportunities to discover and expand their knowledge. It's a perfect destination for fostering creativity and scientific curiosity.

One of the highlights of the Discovery Center is the regular schedule of events and special programs. From science shows to workshops and themed exhibitions, there is always something new and captivating happening here. These events add an extra layer of excitement and variety to the experience, ensuring that each visit is unique.

The location itself is a must-visit for families with young children. The Discovery Center provides a safe and stimulating environment that fosters imagination and exploration. It's a place where kids can truly immerse themselves in a world of discovery and have a great time while doing so.

Good experience for the little ones. Our 4 years old daughter enjoyed here just make sure they go with some family friends too. You can easily spend 3-4 hours here!
