FAQS
Is it possible to create more space by removing some items?
Yes! For an additional fee, we can move the benches out to customize the space to your vision.
Would we get access to other galleries?
Your guests will only have access to the rented gallery spaces. If you're interested in more than one gallery, please contact us.
If Science World is open to the public during daytime, when can I book this space?
Science World closes promptly at 5pm, so gallery spaces may be booked between 5pm to 12am (incl. setup and teardown time). Extend your rental time after midnight for an additional hourly rate.
Can I arrange for a Centre Stage live science show?
You certainly can! What better way to bring live science to your guests than at Vancouver's iconic science centre? For an additional fee, choose from an array of topics, including Chemistry, Physics, Locomotion and more.
How could I make use the atrium for my event?
There's a world of opportunities to elevate your event's entry. In the past, we've had clients put up a photo wall, display booths, set up cocktail stations, and even roll out the red carpet for guests in the atrium.
