Press Every Button at Science World

Science World lives in the silver golf ball on False Creek, which is either an architectural statement or a dare, and either way it works. Inside: two floors of exhibits you are explicitly encouraged to touch, prod, spin, and operate, optical illusions that will make you both feel briefly, personally insulted, and a live demo stage where someone sets something on fire on purpose and it is considered educational. Then there is the giant OMNIMAX dome overhead, projecting things on a screen so large it becomes genuinely inconvenient. The unspoken rule of a Science World date is that you are allowed, encouraged even, to be a complete nerd about all of it. Build the marble run. Lose the optical-illusion argument. Grab a coffee and watch the rain blur the city through the dome. Zero shame applies to any of this.
