H.R. MacMillan Space Centre + My Favorites
This Space Centre has it all, a planetarium and observertory and many space related artifacts, exhibits and displays. The focus here is for displays to be of a 'hands on' and interactive nature, so the Space Centre is very appealing to all ages. Take a space ride, dock a space shuttle and even touch a moon rock. A highlight here are the laser shows. Address: 1100 Chestnut Street | Vancouver, BC | V6J 3J9 [ Map ] Tel: 1 604 738-7827
