Science Center visit and comment

Last weekend we made another trip to the Science Center, we have a yearly pass. Marissa was selling her Christmas wares at a craft sale so Aidan and I needed to keep ourselves out of trouble. After getting him a haircut at the trendy local haunt, Tiny Tots, we headed for the Science Center.

We both had had a great time as always but I wish they would hurry up finish the Space exhibit, it's been under renovation as long as I can remember! We'll try the Museum over the holidays.

My one big comment of the OSC is that the Ontario gov. really needs to put some money in to this place if it's going to attract tourists and local schools. This past spring we visited the Museum of Natural History in Queens, New York. My brother-law didn't recommend it although never having been there himself, maybe just the mention of Queens makes people nervous. It was actually right beside where they host the US Open (Flushing Meadows). Anyways, it was a fantastic place for toddlers, school children and adults. The exhibits are up to date, well cared for and very interactive. The Ontario Science center just shuffles around the same exhibits from 30 years ago from one floor to another. Where does all the money go?
