Telus World of Science, better known as the Science World, can be an excellent place to spend a rainy day with the young ones. You can easily spend an afternoon walking through the various exhibitions and galleries, learning about the world around you in the process. Kids of all ages love it because there are so many things to do, not to mention the dazzling colors and motions provided by the galleries. Fortunately because it is indoors, you and your kids will stay warm and cozy.
The Kidspace gallery is designed for kids 6 years and younger, although older kids may enjoy the activities there as well. There is a spaceship, Lego blocks and wooden structures for building things, Velcro fabric for crazy designs, water table where kids can change the flow of water, and more.
The Search gallery can also provide the little ones with tons of activities. They can climb inside a giant tree trunk, an 800-year-old Western Red Cedar to be exact, crawl through a lodge made by beavers, examine various animal coats, or simply relax in the lounging area and read a book or two.
The daily shows presented by the staff at Science World are entertaining, and definitely worth checking out. Kids are usually encouraged to participate while the young staff demonstrates anything from fire, to electricity to chemistry. There is usually a flash or bang of sorts to get the kids squealing with excitement. Adults can also enjoy these shows and learn a thing or two.

Older children can spend time at the Omnimax Theatre, enjoying one or several of the featured film that is currently playing. These documentary films are typically 45 minutes long, and are shown on the hour starting at 11 am. The giant screen at the Omnimax Theatre will surely amaze the young audience - they are 9 times larger than your typical movie theatre screen. Additional fee is charged for films playing at the Omnimax Theatre, at a rate of $10 for the first film, and $5 for any subsequent films. A word of caution: bigger isn't always better, so make sure your child can handle a film playing on the giant screen.
Finally, once the young ones are ready to take a break, you can take them to the White Spot Triple O's for some burger and fries, while the adults and relax over a cup of coffee.
