H.R. MacMillan Space Centre

It’s a fun spot for kids, especially the planetarium shows and hands on activities. But honestly, I expected more. A lot of the tech feels outdated things like the projectors and displays really need an upgrade. The place has so much potential, but it could use a refresh to make it more exciting for all ages.

Visiting the space centre on May the fourth was certainly a good choice! As a kid, this was one of my favourite field trip destinations and it definitely helped foster my love of all things space. If you come here with children, make sure to check out the shows! The downside: It is quite small and the exhibits are rather dated :(

3.5 overall - it's a good museum but very very small also. It's good as an introduction and for something quick to do. While reading all the plaques and viewing everything , it took maybe an hour to see it all. The planetarium was quite fun to watch. It's still a place you should visit, just don't expect a regular museum level experience.

H.R. MacMillan Space Centre is a must-visit in Vancouver for anyone curious about the universe. It’s more than a museum—it’s an immersive journey through space with stunning planetarium shows, interactive exhibits, and real telescope nights. You’ll learn about black holes, the Big Bang, life in space, and Canada’s role in space exploration, all in a way that’s engaging for both kids and adults. A truly unique place that makes science feel magical.

Very poor projector alignment, and terrible content placement in the show made for a frustrating viewing experience (and a sore neck…). The presenter did a good job. The content in the “to the moon” show was very average however. Museum also a let down with a few of the more exciting hands-on exhibits not working, like the cloud chamber and vacuum bell.
