During April 2013, our family visited Fredericton for the day from our home in Maine. My wife and granddaughter went shopping, while 2 grandsons and I played tourist. One attraction we visited was Science East. It was a marvelous experience. Science East should not be mistaken for a high-tech futuristic museum with multiple sound and light shows such as might...

As a child I really enjoyed visiting Science East for all the cool gadgets and experiments. Now the staff are very accommodating and allow for university student work to be done there (news reports, films, etc.) Check out the bottom floor for some history and creepy dungeons!

My 4 kids, ages 8 to 16, all LOVED this place. The entire museum is hands-on activities. Push, pull, build, spin - the kids had a blast and didn't care what principles the activities were illustrating. They didn't want to leave. Although the place is pretty small, we were easily there for almost 3 hours. I though it was just... More

It`s been awhile since I`ve been here, but they have alot of fun things for kids to see and do. It is also a great llearning experience for children. On Saturdays you could stop by the farmers market which is right beside Science East before or after bringing your children here.

This is wonderful for kids but adults love it too. So much to see and do. A fun day and you learn lots through doing and experiencing. Its in an old building that had once been the city jail.
