Frommer's Review

Interactive displays encourage visitor participation in demonstrations of such physical principles as viscosity. Or climb aboard a steam locomotive, launch a rocket from a mini-control room, observe the heavens in the evening through Canada's largest refracting telescope (appointments necessary), see chicks hatching, and walk through the Crazy Kitchen, where everything looks normal but the floor is tilted at a sharp angle. The permanent exhibits deal with Canada in space, land and marine transportation, communications, and all kinds of modern industrial and household technology. The adjacent outdoor technology park features machines and devices from the windmill and lighthouse to radar and rocket.
