Great museum for families with kids from 7 or so. The space show was amazing and surprisingly long, about 40 minutes.
The actual museum section is a bit smaller than I expected, but they combined well the entertainment and the information.response / report this review -

Went with high expectations and an open mind but was terribly disappointed.
To many out of order displays and lack of staff.
"The Universe" show was advertised as a Show but it was Not. More of a spoken work Documentary geared to preteens. My 11 year old was falling asleep due to the monotone speaking.
Sorry guys but this was my Last visit.

I've been to 2 after hour events for adults & they've been really fun & interesting. I do wish more of the displays worked & there was more to do there. But the planetarium talks & trivia games were fun & I learned a lot.

Very Small, a lot of broken/ out of order displays. Both of the shows were interesting with the star theatre show (The Universe) was almost worth the cost of admission. The planetarium also seems to share the space with the Museum of Vancouver, which I found odd, it would be nice to space allotted for the planetarium exhibits.

Nice little spot for those who love science and space. Lots of shows and activities throughout the day to keep you busy, and I went on a Sunday in the morning which I thought was great because it wasn't crowded at all.

There's not much to say here, sadly.
As most reviewers already pointed it out, this place is a bit outdated (the building is shared with the Museum of Vancouver). A lot of the displays were not in order. My husband was really looking forward to visiting this, since our last time was in Chabot Space Centre more than a year ago. If I thought CSC was small, this really threw me. It's very, very small. I don't think it's even worth bringing the kids. The place was not crowded (as such venues usually are), which I didn't find suspicious until I entered the room.
The only plus side of this was the planetarium on the upper floor. The show was about Stars and it was interesting. The narrator was good and answered all the questions that turned up during the show.
The price ($15) is too steep for what they're offering. I'd skip it and opt for something else (preferably Museum of Anthropology).response / report this review -

Amazing; but not so exciting for children!
The neighborhood environment is so beautiful.response / report this review -

I have been to the HR MacMillan space Centre several times and I highly recommend going for every season. Check out Saturday's freebee, when the telescope is open to the public.

The activities and games are old and outdated. However the shows are interesting and entertaining. The cost is admission is quite high, it's a better deal to get a annual membership even if you only go 2 or 3 times

An architecturally interesting building in a park like setting. The space gallery is small and the displays are dated, though the topics are interesting. The shows.offered in the planetarium theatre are the highlight of the Space Centre. The binding also houses Vancouver Museum exhibits, with separate admissions. Views from the foyer into the Vancouver gallery hint at modern and bright displays there.
