Winter Break at Ontario Science Centre

‘Tis the season to spark curiosity and Winter Break fun! Discover why a visit to the Ontario Science Centre during Winter Break is a tradition for families with children of all ages. This year, catch Dinos in Motion before it stomps away, join us for a special Noon Year’s Eve celebration, have a rollicking time at our Great Canadian Invention Circus and much more!

PROGRAMS DURING HOLIDAYS

Along with fascinating hands-on exhibits and phenomenal films, we have an exciting schedule of winter programming and hands-on activities for the season:

Art and science intersect at our interactive exhibition, Dinos in Motion. Featuring life-sized dinosaur sculptures inspired by real fossils, visitors use levers, pulleys and other controls to make the dinosaurs move! For more play-based discovery, check the schedule and drop into our daily programs, Fossils & Footprints and The Maker Junction. Then, double up on dinosaurs and catch Dinosaurs of Antarctica playing at our OMNIMAX® Theatre.

Step right up and learn about the incredible inventions from some of Canada’s most creative minds at the Great Canadian Invention Circus. From Indigenous ingenuity to the imagination of young makers, discover bright ideas, past and present, from across the country.

Celebrate Noon Year’s Eve, the Science Centre way! Enjoy a morning of hands-on activities, demos and more planned to ring in 2024 – ball drop included. Register today for this special, limited-space workshop!

The Science Centre’s collection of inventor Rowland Emett’s whimsical Dream Machines are now on display in the holiday windows at the CF Toronto Eaton Centre. These extraordinary kinetic sculptures come to life every half hour, from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., on Yonge St., south of Dundas St. At the Science Centre, visitors will be treated to Emett’s iconic 9-metre-long Tea Train.
