Located at Ontario Place

Looks beautiful with a nice walk around the pond to the various locations

Worth it?


The old science center seemed useless as it only filled with people when the temporary travelling exhibits came. They could be displayed anywhere. Teenage science weekends do not need a billion $ science center. It was a beautiful building but stagnated into uselessness but that was not the fault of the building

Why even go to see it more than once?

Science on the internet is a far better learning experience.

I can only hope they travelled the world to see what works, improve it, then bring it here for a world class center that does what it promises and gets you something that can not be found anywhere else and even pays for itself through tourism.

Think of the how the Sydney opera house attracts tourists.

It looks like a huge skate board park. Very little accessible greenspace to just sit and enjoy the waterfront.


Looks like the main display building, a giant theatre for the big screens, a couple of restaraunts, yacht club, a pond with walking green space not shown ,

The pond, the yacht club, the dome the bridges are already there

There is also a huge outdoor stage already there The Budweiser stage.

They are also building a spa and waterpark there and it is all across from the Ex


I just wonder about a science center attracting people over decades. The old sciencec center could not do it.

At a cost of $1 billion I wonder how long it'll take before it turns a profit
Profit?
1 Billion?
I be more concern with TIME, then $$$, $$$, $$$, $$$.00 0/00
Environmental Study co$t?
How many times are they going to go back and "FIX IT" ( FIAT) the building like they to the tram / street car on the lakeshore.
WASTE and Useless.

When the foundation is dug out, all politicians should be gather up or rodeo in and dumped in the hole and covered with cement. Also have a Loonie coin toss in the top, middle of the squared area of the cement flooring.

Anything missing?

Hard to ever know. Ontario Place is being designed to attract tourists who spend thousands on each visit.

The downtown is full of tourist activities, most a few minutes away from Ontario Place.

A billion dollars for a science center that we already have while Ford cuts OSAP and our health care is practicing hallway medicine is a bad deal for Ontario but a good deal for corrupt Ford and his development cronies.
