Ontario Science Centre

Henri has recently demonstrated a keen interest in science. Melissa had a day off on Thursday so we decided to go for a day-trip to visit the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto. We left after breakfast and returned back home just in time for Henri's bedtime. Despite spending over six hours in the sprawling complex discovering and exploring as many of the exhibits and presentations as we could, I still felt like we were often rushed and only getting a high-level overview of each section. It was a fascinating day, definitely worth another visit next time we have a chance. Below are a dozen photos, which only portray a mere glimpse of what Henri explored during the day.
