Science World (Telus World of Science) is a science centre run by a non-profit organization in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the end of False Creek, and features many permanent interactive exhibits and displays, as well as areas with varying topics throughout the years.
Science World Vancouver was originally built for Expo ’86. Though it is sometimes referred to as the ‘golf ball’, Science World is actually a geodesic dome, patented by inventor R. Buckminster Fuller.
Another popular attraction at Science World is the famous OMNIMAX Theatre, one of the largest theatres in the world. This theatre seats 400 people and has a curving screen 27 metres in diameter. Science World Vancouver shows educational and entertaining movies.
