REVIEW:  The Ontario Science Centre is on of our most favourite family field trip destinations!  Many exhibits and English & French (a plus for our bilingual family).  The “please touch” environment is a great place for kids to explore and learn. 

We had a chance to check out the newest live performance CSI: Live, REPTILES: The Beautiful and the Deadly and the IMAX movie Tornado Alley. 

Parent Club recommends CSI:LIVE as a show for older kids and tweens.  It’s an engaging, interactive and educational performance.  (warning: strobe lighting and loud for little ears)

Parent Club recommends REPTILES: The Beautiful and the Deadly for all ages.  The exhibit of live reptiles is one of the best we’ve seen.

IMAX movies: In general, for older kids and up.  Specifically Tornado Alley – appealing to big kids and parents.
