I am super excited for the new Rock ‘N’ Roll exhibit at the Ontario Science Centre! The exhibit will be on display at the Ontario Science Centre until October 26th 2014.
I LOVE music!
The Science of Rock ‘N’ Roll is an interactive exhibition that provides a fresh look at the history of rock from the perspective of science and technology. See how music has shaped the tools of rock – and how those tools have changed the music.
The Science of Rock ‘N’ Roll is included with general admission to the Ontario Science Centre.
I recently went to the Ontario Science Centre with my son’s school on a Field Trip and I have to say that I found the staff there to be super friendly and helpful! The woman in the above photo was particularly amazing with the children!
When my son sees this drum set and realizes that he can sit down in front of them to play the drums, I think we will have a pretty difficult time convincing him to leave!
At the above activity, Ontario Science Centre visitors interact with the table through a series of four pre-programmed Reactable “cubes”. Each of the cubes has five sides that contain different pre-programmed instrumental tracks: guitar, bass, drums, and keys. When the different cubes are placed on the table, different instruments and their respective sounds are triggered. By placing the cubes in different orientations, visitors open up a myriad of musical possibilities. Visitors are able to record what they create and retrieve their composition at home using The Science of Rock ‘N’ Roll backstage pass, which is available onsite for an additional $2.
*All of these stations are interactive during your visit whether or not the backstage pass is purchased. However, if you want to record and retrieve, will need to purchase a backstage pass.

I already won tickets to this event. Excited to check it out.
I am most interested in chemistry. I found it very interesting that with different components/substance mixed together, there’s something different created.
I am not really sure 🙁 .. it’s been many many many years since I’ve been. I would so love to see all of it!
I love the IMAX and the science experiments for kids. I haven’t been for at least 25 years and I used to go all the time (I live really close to it). I’d love to WIN these, thanks for hosting!

I didn’t know that you lived in Toronto, growing up!
I think my girls would love The Living Earth area. They love all things nature.
For me it’s more about sharing the science with my boys. I think they would love it there!
I like the hands on part of the science centre because I get to learn from it
Definitely the Science of Rock and Roll! Sounds like a blast!!
I’m definitely into The Science of Rock ‘N’ Roll exhibit the most because I love music!
I love Anatomy!
The Great White Shark Imax film – I must see this
I am most interested in checking out this Rock ‘N’ Roll exhibit.
Love medicine and physiology! It’s just too cool and it IS US.
I’m interested in Biology and anything to do with the anatomy. It gives me such a better understanding of how to keep healthy.
the anatomy section is the one I like
I’m most interested in chemistry, I love learning about the chemical nature of things and their reactions
Hmm I am for sure very interested in the Science of Rock n’ Roll, but I also love the area where they talk about and show how machines work.
The bio/anatomy section is my fave!
Wonderful day out with the kids, love for my daughter to see the IMAX film she has never been.
******bio/anatomy is my favourite but you always have to do the static electricity hair standing up test-lol******
LOVE that static electricity test!
Biology and anatomy are my two absolute favourite science subjects……. 🙂
For MIss R it is about zoology! She’s a huge fan of animals and how they rely on one another.

space!
Living Earth sounds cool.
I think the Science of Rock n’ Roll sounds pretty fun!
I love astronomy. I read “Exploring the Night Sky” by Terrence Dickinson when I wa sin grade 2 and have been hooked ever since!
I’ve always loved sharks, so marine biology, oceanography.
My children and I really enjoy looking at all the different rocks from different areas.
I am most interested in checking out this Rock ‘N’ Roll exhibit.
The static electricity for it’s hair-rising information.
Never been, so don’t know which is my favourite. Looking forward to finding out.
I find Biology fascinating. That so much is going on inside of us is amazing.
I honestly can’t pick a favourite area – whenever I go I am there the minute it opens and stay there until the minute it closes and I try to see as much as possible !!!!!
I just love to see the kids reactions to everything.
I’m interested in astronomy.
I love to learn how the human body works. Definitely a scientific Creator behind everything!
I love to learn how the human body works. Definitely a scientific Creator behind everything!
The Human Edge exhibit looks really interesting. I studied sports psychology for a bit, so it really matches my interests. And of course, I want to see an imax movie because who doesn’t? I’d probably pick The Great White Shark movie or Island of Lemurs (I love lemurs!)
I like learning about stars and planets also about rocks and minerals
I am most interested in Marine Biology.
The Rock and Roll exhibit, it just looks really cool 🙂
I love anything to do with nature, plants and animals because they’re all around us and so fascinating.
Biology is very interesting to me!
I like biology.
I think it would be neat to see Imax Under The Sea. Kids love everything animal or fish!
when I was a kid they had this static ball that you touched and it made your hair stand up, not sure if its there but that’s what im most excited for
Zoology & Marine biology because I love animals!
Love Biology as I find nature so fascinating.
We love any of the hands on areas! My son will talk about it for days & months!
electricity is very cool!
The science of climate change.
Anything about the weather I find interesting!
the imax would be the best!!
