Places to Go in Ottawa - Canadian Science and Technology Museum

The Canadian Science and Technology Museum is the most popular museum in Ottawa. It’s a fun place to bring the kids during March or summer break, and it’s fun for adults too. 

Wondering what to do at the Science and Tech Museum? The possibilities are endless. A typical visit to the museum will involve visiting the current exhibition. The most talked about upcoming exhibition in 2018 is called “The Art of The Brick” and it will be showcasing new work by artist Nathan Sawaya. Nathan’s work is made exclusively from a toy you may be familiar with: LEGO® bricks! Nathan has created original masterpieces from the Lego bricks as well as re-created famous artworks from history, like the Mona Lisa. What separates the Canadian Science and Technology Museum from other museums in Canada is the importance it places on interaction with the visitors. For example, the museum has created a call to action for aspiring artists to submit ideas for what Nathan should make next. Before the grand opening of the exhibition Nathan will select a winner and make the piece in time for it to be displayed in the exhibition. This is just one of example of the cool interactive experiences you can be apart of at the Canadian Science and Technology Museum.

​Another interesting exhibition to look forward to is called “To What Degree? Canada in a Changing Climate.” This exhibition will be a display of photography, but not displayed in the typical, boring on-the-wall fashion. The changing climate in Canada is something we have all been wondering about. What will our weather look like in the future? Climate change is already affecting Canada and this exhibition of unique travelling photography captures some of the changes happening so far. In the spirit of interactivity, there are stories and explanations typed beside every photograph. It’s also worth noting that the photographs are blown up and scattered through the room, so you have to walk through a photography maze to discover the changes in climate.

Parking is available at the Canadian Science and Technology Museum, however, we suggest arriving earlier in the day if possible. Due to the popularity of the museum, the parking lot can become a little hectic. The parking rates are based on how long you have stayed in the museum. As for admissions into the Canadian Science and Technology Museum, ticket prices range between $11 and $17 per person depending on age. The museum remains open on holidays except for Christmas Eve. This is another reason why the Canadian Science and Technology Museum is a great place to bring the kids when school is out. Not many fun places are open on holidays.

The museum is located at 1867 Laurent Blvd, nearby downtown Ottawa. If you’re taking the car exit at St. Laurent Blvd South, drive 2.6 km south, to Lancaster Road, and then turn left on Lancaster Road. If you get lost, ask a local where to go. Everyone in Ottawa knows where the Canadian Science and Technology Museum is located – and they will probably want to go too!
