— May 28, 2025 — Social Good
The Montréal Science Centre marks a significant milestone as it celebrates 25 years of fostering scientific curiosity and education. Having welcomed over 15 million visitors since its inception in 2000, the institution has become a cornerstone of interactive learning and offers more than 90 exhibitions designed to engage diverse audiences.

Families, educators, and science enthusiasts may find value in Montréal Science Centre's commitment to making STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) accessible through hands-on experiences, immersive displays, and community-driven initiatives. The organization sets itself apart with other important initiatives such as 'The Science Centre on the Road,' which brings science education to Indigenous communities, students with disabilities, and underserved populations.

The Montréal Science Centre's anniversary celebrations introduce new attractions, including 'Nanualuk – Northern Expedition,' an exhibition co-created with Inuit communities to explore Canada’s northern ecosystems and climate challenges. Meanwhile, the return of 'T. Rex: The Ultimate Predator,' in collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History, offers a dynamic, family-friendly attraction that blends palaeontology with cutting-edge interactive technology.
