We stumbled across this museum while searching for different science museums to explorer and we were not disappointed at all. Part of the ARTIS zoo and other attractions. If you want to learn the most, plan to be here for at least a couple of hours. We ended up spending 3 hours here and still did not read every placard.
The staff were extremely nice and willing to answer any questions you may have. This is such a great museum to learn about many of the different microbes that exist in our world.
We arrived early and nearly had the museum entirely to ourselves, which was great to be able to take of time to explore. If you are on the fence about going, you should take the time and explore the world that we can’t see with the naked eye.

This is an amazing science museum and is currently my all time favorite. There are about 4 floors of exhibits and a cafe on the fifth that leads to the roof. The roof is open to the public and you do not need a ticket to access it, though it is only open during museum hours. This is a busy museum, if you arrive mid-day expect there to be a lot of action while people are learning through each of the exhibits. This is great for all ages though most of the exhibits I would recommend for people 7+ as there are larger concepts and lots of information available for each exhibit.
Great museum and recommend taking a trip to see it.
We stumbled across Heritage Park while looking for interesting museums in the area and would recommend going to Gasoline Alley Museum. We arrived right when they opened which was great as we essentially had multiple private tours with multiple staff sharing history and stories about many of the pieces they have on display.
Tickets are available onsite, though the longest queue was to purchase tickets. You can purchase them online before you go.

We went during the summer and it was a great little tourist attraction with grizzly bears - Grinder & Coola - a Lumberjack show, Indigenous music, and wild birds of prey.
Recommend planning to spend at least a few hours here. The longest queue was taking the gondola down the mountain so plan on leaving taking a little longer then you would expect.
Got lucky and saw a beautiful Raven in the parking lot too.
There is a shuttle that takes you from Canada Place to Grouse Mountain that runs about every 30-45 minutes. If you are staying around downtown, use the shuttle to your advantage.

One of my favorite Science Museums in North America. Multiple floors and multiple science shows on the “Center Stage”. There are several exhibits that are rotated out every few months. This has a lot of great tactile exhibits which is great for hands on learning. There is an early morning opening for neurodiverse attendees that benefit from less people while exploring the museum. This museum is very close to the expo line and easy to get to. Buying tickets in advance is not required, though ensures entry and availability.
