In my experience, if one really wants to enjoy something, do it with children. While I have long considered this proposition, I know this surely to be true now having done many things with my two wonderful grandchildren. One of the things we did together & which was so much fun, was visiting the H.R. Macmillan Space Centre at Vanier Park on Kits Point. Established in 1968, it is housed in an iconic building, adjacent to the Observatory Centre, an add-on which is open to the public to view the heavens on clear nights, It, along with Science World —- which I also visited happily with my gorgeous grandchildren— are two wonderful learning resources to take children to in Vancouver. If you have not visited, do so as soon as it & Science World reopen. Hopefully they will open again soon, & before the end of the summer holidays, which is a good time to take these informative & fun learning excursions. The Space Centre —.along with its various exhibitions —has interactive viewings, as well as talks throughout the day. Science World, too, has talks. Good to find out when they are, so one can gear one’s visit to the schedule. Posted by S Fuller…

It's really really small. The best part is the planetarium movie. Admission to one 45-minute movie is included, but otherwise it's really not worth the price. The exhibits are uninspired and many are broken. You would really really need to love all things space in order to enjoy this. Would be better if admission also have you access to the Museum of Vancouver on the other side of the lobby.…
