SCIENCE NORTH

Science North is for everyone! If our regular operations are a little too much for your senses to handle, join us for a Sensory Friendly Sunday, for a quieter, sensory friendly experience. During this event, sounds will be turned down or off, lighting will be adjusted, the science centre will be less busy, and certain spaces will be set up as sensory break spaces. At noon, catch a special sensory-friendly IMAX with house lights on, reduced volume, and no trailers or preshow!

CINEMA SOCIAL

October 25
SCIENCE NORTH

SIGHTS! CAMERA! RELAXIN’! Join us for our first ever CINEMA SOCIAL, a 50+ event which provides exclusive and unfettered early morning access to Science North! Before our doors open to the public, arrive at the science centre to meet up with friends, both old and new, for a casual and conversational jaunt throughout our facility. After that, cool your jets down with coffee, tea, and refreshments prior to sauntering into the IMAX theatre for our featured film and specially-curated guest speaker! Interested in the social component without the added strain? No problem, consider the walk optional! The key takeaway is that we’ve created a safe space for you and your peers to exercise in, socialize, and enjoy meaningful programming that resonates with YOU!
