16. The first of a hundred locations in Vancouver. Science World.


Listen Later

So, today I decided to make my first episode on Vancouver's 100 places worth visiting. And it is the Vancouver Science Centre.  

I chose it because it was not far from my location on that day.  

Nearby is a Metro Station on the Expo Line, Science Centre. So, there will be no problems with getting there.  

The iconic building is a spherical structure made up of many connected triangles. Maybe they are glass, but at least they reflect. On top, this big ball is covered with many connected pipes, which serve as some kind of reinforcement to hold the structure together.  

Inside this building, there are paid tours. I postponed that for the next time. This will be another reason, if you're interested, to subscribe to my episodes.  

In front of the main entrance to this ball-shaped building, you can see a monument of two men sitting. 

Then, as you go around, you encounter a mini-exhibit of various water devices like different valves and culverts. Behind the ball building, there are two monuments made from recycled materials, a chime wall and a dragon.  

And then, there is a fenced-off mini park that is not accessible to visitors.  

Ah, I almost forgot. 

This Science World is next to the water.

There, you can see people wishing to paddle in kayaks.  

Also, in front of the entrance to the Science World, there is an attraction with falling balls that set off a whole maze with different sound effects. It attracts many young visitors.  

In general, this place is quite popular. There are always a lot of people, especially with children.  

Nearby, there is an operational children's playground.  

So, come and visit!

Thanks for your attention.  

And bye, see you in the next episode.
