With many absorbing exhibits about all kinds of subjects, a visit to Discovery Centre is a great day out for everyone.

You'll have sightseeing choices galore when in Downtown Halifax. Discovery Centre is a great place to start here, but there are loads of other worthwhile spots to check out. Halifax Citadel, Dalhousie University, and Public Gardens Park are not far from the display of scientific achievements and will top off your day nicely.
