Saskatchewan Science Centre
The Saskatchewan Science Center in Regina opened in 1989. Occupying a converted former power station on the north bank of Wascana Lake the Center is rather special in encouraging "hands on" involvement with the sciences (e.g. geology and astronomy). Visitors are able to handle the exhibits, perform experiments and ask questions as well as experiencing simulated space travel and "seeing" their voices reproduced on a computer screen.
