The Ontario Science Centre is one of those places YOU'VE GOT TO SEE.

And take your kids, because they'll love it, too.

The architecture is fabulous, the displays are INTERACTIVE, and the hydraulic organ — the world’s largest hydraulophone — is available for playing 24 hours a day. This is a BIG museum. There are several hundred exhibits touching on a wide range of sciences, from geology to astrobiology.

The museum is constantly being updated — a strong funding organization keeps the Centre in the Top Ten of the World’s Best Science Museums.

AND they produce a science podcast! Called the Redshift Report, the museum answers listener questions. A large, animated, interesting group of “researcher-scientists” join host Ken Huxley in tackling all kinds of subjects. Here’s a quick list of recent topics:

How many people can the Earth support?

What are some of the weird ways that animals communicate?

Is the Rock-Paper-Scissors game just blind luck?

What’s in store for the future of space exploration?

Programming for people who LISTEN. This is Radio Newark.
