Safety Measures

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Science World has taken an evidence-based approach to our health and safety protocols, following the advice of the Public Health Office. We continue to have hand sanitization stations inside and outside the dome, and extra cleaning measures are in place.

With a theatre, activities, events and workshops that gather 50 or more people, including our Live Science Shows, Science World will continue to uphold a safe community and is committed to taking all the precautionary measures to protect the health of our communities. 

We ask for your patience as we implement new procedures. We ask that all visitors continue to be kind, calm and safe—especially to our staff, who comply with regulations and protocols recommended by the provincial health authorities.

We also ask all visitors to be respectful of other people’s comfort levels, and respect each other's choices.

We ask that all those visiting Science World:

  • Stay Home if Unwell
    For the safety of our visitors and staff, please stay home if you or anyone in your household has a fever, is demonstrating any COVID-19 symptoms, or does not feel well.
  • Treat Visitors and Staff with Respect
    Science World is committed to ensuring our facilities uphold anti-racist values that allow visitors to feel safe and welcomed. There will be no tolerance for any racism or discrimination (including microaggressions) toward staff or visitors.

Members and visitors can also read through our health and safety protocols to learn what to expect during their visit to the dome.
