Interim Science Centre Opens on Toronto Waterfront as Ontario Place Location Is Built
The temporary site spans 86,000 square feet and adds new exhibits while the province builds a $1.04 billion permanent centre.
- On Monday, Culture Minister Stan Cho unveiled the Ontario Science Centre's temporary location at the Harbourfront Centre, aiming to bring science to life for families and students.
- The province abruptly closed the original Ontario Science Centre at Don Mills and Eglinton two years ago, citing safety concerns, though workers and critics dispute the roof repair claims.
- Covering about 86,000 square feet, the interim facility is roughly 15 per cent of the former 568,000-square-foot site, featuring KidSpark and an "Innovation Station."
- Construction of a permanent Ontario Science Centre is underway at Ontario Place, scheduled to open in 2029, with Premier Doug Ford's government contracting Ontario Science Partners for over $1 billion.
- Officials plan to add more exhibits later this year but could not confirm the temporary site's total cost; Cho remains "not sure" about the vacant Don Mills location's future.
