Centre des Sciences de Montréal

Frommer's Review

Running the length of a central pier in Vieux-Port (Old Port), this ambitious complex occupies a steel-and-glass building along much of Quai King Edward. Focusing on science and technology, it has interactive displays and a cinema, as well as a popular IMAX theater. Designed to make energy conservation, 21st-century communications, and life sciences vivid, in 2007 it hosted the touring Body Worlds exhibit. With its extensive use of computers and electronic visual displays, its displays are particularly appealing to youngsters. Admission fees vary according to combination of exhibits and movie showings you want. Pre-order tickets for special exhibits to avoid long lines. An outdoor terrace called Origine Bistro, offering light meals and drinks, opened in 2007 and joins an existing café selling sandwiches, salads, and sweets.
