Science World

10 Best Museums in Vancouver | Condé Nast Traveler

"At the eastern end of Vancouver’s False Creek skyline is a giant, can't-miss metallic orb that houses the Science World at TELUS World of Science. Semi-awkward name aside, this is a favorite hub for pint-size budding scientists. Some compare the building to a giant golf ball, or a snow globe, but when it was first envisioned for the 1986 World’s Fair (Expo ’86), it was meant to mimic a Buckminster Fuller–inspired geodesic dome. Three decades later, the exhibits contain enough cutting-edge information and technology to keep science-loving visitors—most of them kids—engaged." - Jennifer Van Evra
