Guide to the new Ontario Science Centre at Harbourfront Centre. Explore KidSpark, the Space Deck, and outdoor science experiences on Toronto's waterfront.
This is the new, expanded interim operation located at the Harbourfront Centre on Toronto's waterfront. While it features many of the same beloved concepts, it is a different space designed for its new urban environment, featuring 86,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space.
Transit is highly recommended. You can take the 509 Harbourfront streetcar from Union Station directly to the Harbourfront Centre stop. It's also a pleasant 15-minute walk south from Union Station via Bay Street.
Yes! KidSpark remains a core part of the Science Centre experience at Harbourfront, specifically designed for children ages 10 and under. Due to its popularity, timed admission may apply on weekends, so booking in advance is suggested.
Admission is $15 per visitor (tax included), and children 2 and under are free. There are special discounts available through the Canada Strong Pass, which offers free admission for those 17 and under through September 7, 2026.
The Curiosity Commons is the primary outdoor space, featuring large-scale science games, physics challenges, and interactive installations that take advantage of the waterfront setting.
