Entertainment & Activities
This place is so cool, even for grown ups. It is a centre that teaches about science in cool, interactive ways. (Think those balls that have static inside them, optical illusions, and playing with water currents and wind). They also have an IMAX which shows crazy nature documentaries.

A cool, old school bowling alley below the Commodore on Granville street. It has pool tables, cheap beer, and cheap games of bowling. It is not for the faint of heart, it hasn't been cleaned since 1985.
