Neat hands on science, and NB history that sends chills down your spine

Don Booth

The museum itself is great, they even have a 3d printer. But the best part of Science East are the programs they offer for kids.

Excellent school trip! We go every year and the students love it!!!

My wife, kids and I decided to goto Science East while we were visiting Fredricton. I feel this place is perfect for little kids. My 3yrs and 1yrs could participate in many of the experiments and loved the experiment where you go into a dark room and someone flips a switch which captures your shadow. That was totally cool! I also liked going into the basement (aka The Dungeon) as the building was a jailhouse in the beginning. Staff are friendly and you get a discount if your a CAA member. I highly recommend this place for families with little ones! ????????????

We visit the haunted tour every year. Always fun and keeps the spirit of Halloween going strong long after you stop trick or treating.

Such a great way to spend an afternoon! Staff was super friendly and truly passionate about science! ???? ???? Highly recommend for a fun date, or fun afternoon of learning.

This is a good spot for young children. The exhibits are pretty rudimentary but effective. The only issue is that the exhibits don't change very often.

Always a blast no matter your age!

Andy Han

Great little spot to let the kids loose and get some learning in. Fun for big kids too.

Great for kids 4 and up. I brought my 3 years old there and she could try everything, but she was still a but young to care about ubderstanding anything. Still had a lot of fun and could play and interact with a ton of contraptions and experiments. The playground in the back was great and they spent a lot of time in there. We spent almost 3 hours and, because of her age, we haven't really read a single thing. So there's a lot of content for curious kids to go throught, and it is very diversified in nature. Cheap way to spend quality time with kids.

So education and fun for kids! I loved going to this place growing up!

Excellent place for science learning

Anthony Peter -Paul

Boring. I only enjoyed the jail.

Maeve Arnold

Filled to the brim with neat, scientific things for all to learn, this place is the perfect location to go to when it comes to all sorts of education. The fact it is what used to be a prison is very interesting and fascinating.

Bridget Buckley

We had a fun time with the kids. Some things were closed due to Covid. However, that didn't impede on our learning or fun. They even suggested some other adventures we could check out.

Paul Vidal

Intimate atmosphere and a lot of cool things!

Joel Landry

Great place for kids

Janine Loomis

Can easily spend a few hours here. The whole family enjoyed it

Kat Ryder

Great place for everyone, but especially kids. Housed in a really cool historic building.

On our way from Toronto to Cape Breton we decided to stop in Fredericton to give ourselves a break between two 7.5hr days of driving. It was only fare to our 5yr old that she get to run and get some freedom. We’re so glad this place exists!! It’s interactive in the sense that kids need to actually do something to get a reaction.

Great for kids !!! So informative and had lots of activities for kids, my son had a blast !

Greg Cowie

A gem of hands on learning. My seven and ten year olds really enjoyed themselves, we spent two and a half hours exploring the three floors of puzzles and displays. The prison museum in the basement seemed an odd juxtaposition, but was tied in through DNA evidence. The demos in the lobby were the highlight, special thanks to Amiel. Not nearly the scope of Science North, but we'll worth the visit on a rainy afternoon for $10 an adult and $6.50 a student or child.

We registered their summer camp since April. Only a week before the camp start, we were notified that the camp was canceled due to not enough campers. It is really bad due to so late notify and we have no time to make new arrangement. Take risk on your own when you register their programs.

Caprice Francis

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Exhibits were really fun. My 5 year old loved that she could touch everything.

Brian Kenney

I went on a business trip to pass the time. Originally planned not to go because thought was too childish. I was amused with the things to do and was entertained. Information was well presented quick and informational. The jailhouse basement section stories were humorous or interesting actually of the 30ish museums I have been to within the last year this was a top one. Highly recommended for anyone with children 5 to 12 a must see

(Translated) The price is correct. Interesting activities. The children liked to learn and to touch everything, to try a lot of things. The hurricane machine was out of service due to the covid. The "photo wall" was very popular with children. In addition, access to the cellar where you can visit Allen Legere's cell. It was special to learn a little more about the history of the building which was once a prison. (Original) Le tarif est correct. Les activités interessantes. Les enfants ont aimés apprendre et toucher à tout, essayer pleins de choses. La machine à hurricane était hors service à cause du covid. Le mur "de photo" était très apprécier des enfants. De plus, accès à la cave où vous pouvez visiter la cellule d'Allen Legere. C'était spécial d'en apprendre un peu plus sur l'histoire du bâtiment qui était autrefois une prison.
