Latest Reviews
Awesome IMAX theater, take advantage of this. Very open floor plan, children’s area, wonder depiction of Canadian history. If you have family members who use a walker or wheelchair, book in advance and use the elevators. Cafeteria had a pretty good selection of healthy choices as well as the usual fare— pricey as is to be expected given the venue. The Children’s Museum section is a god-send! You can let the kids loose and relax for a bit. Gorgeous building with outdoor sculpture garden and Japanese sand garden. Go on a nice day so you can enjoy the grounds.
