Our day at Science North!!

Hi guys,
Yesterday the students and I went to check out a variety of fun and interactive attractions offered at Science North. There was that immediate flashback of being a child as I walk through the front doors. There are always new and innovative activities to discover on each floor, as well as amazing shows that go on throughout the day. It's like getting lost in a world of discovery where time is endless and the art of learning never ends

The students and I started our day touring the Dinosaurs Unearthed Exhibition which features life like animatronic dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are so life like that they feel real to the touch, they did a fantastic job creating a fun and inviting atmosphere. It was so exciting to learn how they lived and what parts of the world they were found. The exhibit makes you feel like you've gone back in time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Science North created an environment where we could interact with the exhibit by searching for fossils and playing the role of a paleontologist. The employees were very informative making the experience more engaging, I felt like I acquired so much knowledge. The atmosphere and activities are all kid friendly I would definitely recommend it for children.

In addition to the exhibition we went to see additional attractions which were just as exciting. Dinosaurs 3D which was being featured in the IMAX theater was such an amazing experience, you enbarked on a journey into the world of paleontologists in 3D. It was so interesting to see how fossils can tell palaeontologists so much about the Jurassic era and the way the video recreates an experience for the audience. The video was very informative and easy to understand and in my opinion the creators did an amazing job captivating interesting facts. As a member of the audience I was completely captivated. The theater itself was very comfortable and I enjoyed all the bonuses that you would get at a theater, such as popcorn and other mouth watering treats.

Following our amazing movie in the IMAX 3D we continued our journey throughout each corner of Science North. On the second we found the butterfly exhibit which was so amazing to experience. It was like walking into a tropical paradise filled with exotic butterflies and vegetation. There are also many animals that you can find in our wildlife right here at our fingertips. They have a variety of demenstrations and interactive activities with the wildlife in order to familiarize people natures surroundings. We ended our day by viewing a video about our solar system and constellations in the Digital Planetarium. The dome like theater makes you feel as if they are right at your fingertips and the comfy chairs are an added bonus.

These are some of the many adventures that we experienced on our adventures at Science North. There is so much to see and do for people of all ages, so get out there and enjoy this magnificent attraction for yourselves!!!
