We are always excited to bring our fun, high-energy live demonstrations and activities to communities all around the province. Science World’s fantastic touring science team is well known for performing live shows each year at schools.
Thanks to our donors, we're able to visit remote, rural, and under-resourced schools outside Metro Vancouver at no charge, with regional tours pre-planned ahead of the school year. We also offer local visits for a nominal fee.

FAQs
My school is outside Metro Vancouver. Is there any way I can book a paid visit?
Because we pre-plan our route for the year, we can't add any more stops to our schedule. What we can do is check to see if your school is already on one of the routes. Please fill out this form and we'll get back to you soon.
Could we book On The Road for the very last day of the school year?
Yes! On The Road has performed at end-of-year school fairs and festivals, and we'd be happy to consider your event in Metro Vancouver. Additionally, On The Road can visit your school almost any day of the school year. We encourage schools to book 2 – 3 months in advance to ensure date and time availability. Showtimes for Metro Vancouver schools are typically scheduled before or after the school lunch hour (or both if you’d like 2 shows!).
How do you pick which cities to attend?
Our donor-supported outreach tours across BC are planned in advance of each school year with a priority on remote, rural, and under-resourced schools outside of Metro Vancouver. We strive to bring an On The Road show to each elementary school across BC, which can take 5 – 7 years. Requests for visits can be made through this form, but do not guarantee a visit.
Schools within Metro Vancouver interested in requesting a paid visit can also request a visit here, subject to availability and location.
We requested a paid local visit last year and it was such a hit—can we request another one this year?
Thanks for welcoming us to your school and for the kind words, we’re glad you had fun! We can certainly plan a re-visit 😊Please fill in the request form and we can look what other shows we can offer your students.
Can I request an On The Road performance and a High School Workshop for the same school?
While On The Road typically visits elementary schools, we can also present shows at Middle schools and High Schools because our shows are fun and inspiring for all ages! This year we are also offering a limited number of High School Workshops in the Metro Vancouver area. These can be booked independently or with a show. Please inquire here and we can work with you to plan a visit that best fits your school needs.
What does it cost to have Science World On The Road present at my school?
On The Road typically offers 2-presenter, 45-minute shows to schools at a reduced, cost recovery rate starting at $850 +GST and travel. High School Workshops start at the same price but have limited availability. For smaller schools or audiences, we can also offer a single-presenter 30-minute show starting at $450 (rates are subject to change). Please inquire here and we can work with you to plan a visit that best fits your school budget and needs.
