At the risk of stating the obvious, this is a fantastic place to bring kids! Four floors of great, interactive, educational activities for kids of all ages. A great location on the Halifax harbour. Great people to help you enjoy your stay. A must-go for families!

In fact, this is a very interesting place for children, where on 4 floors in sum you can learn interesting sides about things like different types of energy, or about the hockey. There is a small cafeteria and a room where children can do different things, which I called for myself “teaching a child to love science.” But in my opinion the price is higher than normal. Let’s just say that either there is a need for more space with something more interesting, or the price is a little lower. In my opinion it’s too much now.

If you haven’t gone to the new Discovery Centre in Halifax, my opinion is that it’s a waste of money. It cost $36.80 for myself and my 7-year-old niece, and it was basically a Nova Scotia Power display. NS Power owns the building and it shows. Very little there that wasn’t about electricity and energy. Hardly anything in the way of creativity. It’s not being kept up like a new building should be, and all the fun things to do from the old Discovery Centre have disappeared. She and I were both very bored with it. Very disappointed. Also, 2 small drinks and 2 cookies at the cafe was over $9. Very expensive experience, and certainly not worth the almost $50 I spent.

Wow! This place is absolutely amazing! I have never seen a place with so many hands-on exhibits. The "Discovery" Centre is the perfect name. Our 4 and 8 year old were entertained for hours (and so were we!).
Families, add this one to your Halifax list for sure.

Les expositions ne sont pas très intéressantes pour les jeunes de plus de 12 ans. Malheureusement, plusieurs des activités étaient brisées ou ne fonctionnaient pas bien.
Peut-être nos attentes étaient-elles hautes puisque nous visitons régulièrement les centres de sciences ou d’innovation en famille dans d’autres régions.

It's ok. A few of the cool exhibits were not working. I took a 9 year old and she was a bit old for it and the oldest kid there. We still made the best of it but took in the entire thing in 40 minutes and that was looking at everything. There's really not a lot to it.

It was a really neat place for the kids to play and learn for the morning. Lots of interactive activities to do. We also checked out the live show about constellations in the dome. Very cool show. Unfortunately the lower level was under construction so we were limited.

Great place to spend a few hours with kids aged 9 and 7. Parking is an issue. Factor having to pay for parking as well as admission.

This place is really great for younger kiddos! The place is decent sized and full of neat little things for them to try.
I am now a mom to two teens, so it wasn’t exactly their cup of tea (my son is very science focused, so there are science centres we have come across that fit his interest and age bracket a bit better).
If you have little kids, this is a great spot to visit. If your kids are a bit older, or you as an adult are looking to go, I would say the target audience for this particular science centre is geared towards the younger crowd, but of course you could still get a bit out of it, after all it’s science!

How long does it take to do all the exhibits?
Escrita el 2 de septiembre de 2018
If adults only: Top level (Kid careers inspiration) takes about 15-20min to walk around and experience some of the kid fun stuff. Then walk down the musical stairs to 3rd level between 30 sec to 5 mins (depend on how many songs you wanna play out - just like the Big floor piano in the movie - Big!
2nd (main level) & 3rd level will each takes about 30-60 mins depend how detail you go through the floor. Also they have the dome theatre so add on another 45mins.
1st floor (basement) which is their special exhibition with some science stuff. It was Games History when I was there... that is totally depend on how many time you wanna repeat some of the fun stuff... I spent like 2 hrs just for the exhibition part. Then found the 3D printer so amazing and chit chat with the workers for about an hour asking about it!
So that’s alone took me about 5-6 hrs. Recommend to prepare a whole day thing, so you won’t rush through any parts. (I was visiting Halifax, but if you live there, suggest to get membership card and can have fun all the times!)

Hi there, the cost is $12+hst for adults, $10+hst for kids (ages 3-17), and kids 2 years of age and under are free. The Centre attracts people from all age groups, with different galleries for each age.

Hello All,
I have 3 children ages 7, 10, and 11 and am considering going to the Discovery Centre. Many reviews claim that it's good for younger kids. I'm not sure if my 10 and 11 year olds would enjoy this? Please advise? Also, how many hours should I allot for this place?
Thanks.

Hi Toronto01234. Of course each family is different but I can say that I went there with 2 adults and 3 children aged 12, 13 and 17. They all enjoyed it. Spent a lot of time in the music section and the Innovatiob Lab. We spent 2 hours and a half there. Depends on the interests of your children of course.

Is this a question on the Discovery Centre?? If so, I'm sorry, I have no idea.

Due to the location of the business youll have to use alternative parking. The business is located on a corner of a sidewalk with no rear parking. So you have a choice to find parking near the waterfront/ fairy terminal area or the under parking at Scoita Square mall parking. Both are only a 5 min walk to the business.

My son has autism not sure if he would like it or not is there attractions for special needs children? And is the rate adjusted at all?

Hello and thanks for the inquiry. I would recommend coming at a time that is less busy - early mornings or on Wednesday night. If he finds it to be overwhelming we can certainly give you a refund. I hope this helps.
