About Science World
Science World is an interactive science museum in Vancouver that invites visitors to explore the world of science through hands-on experiences. The building is a distinctive geodesic dome, originally designed for Expo 86 and credited to Richard Buckminster Fuller, and it now stands at the eastern end of False Creek. Inside, you'll find permanent and rotating exhibits that encourage you to get involved. A particular highlight is the OMNIMAX theater at the top of the dome, which offers immersive film experiences. Although the museum officially goes by a different name, Science World remains the name most people use, and it is also the name of the neighboring SkyTrain station.
