About the Canada Science and Technology Museum
The Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa is an exciting interactive and hands-on museum that can keep visitors of all ages occupied for hours at a time. There are buttons to push, dials to turn and levers to pull as you explore how things work and the history of major Canadian innovations in science and technology. You can climb on board steam locomotives, try paddling a canoe, experience a space flight simulator and find out about the development of household appliances. Outside exhibits include a lighthouse, a rocket and an observatory. It's a wonderful way to learn how people shape science and technology and how science and technology shape our everyday lives, all in a Canadian context.
