3. Centre of the Universe

ELK LAKE / CORDOVA BAY.   Amusing name aside, this science center is actually quite interesting and educational. Part of the Herzberg Institute of Astrophysics, the centre features a number of interactive exhibits and a planetarium, and offers special theatre presentations that will engage youngsters as well as their parents. Be sure to check out the impressive 1.8-metre Plaskett Telescope. In fact, you may want to time your visit to coincide with the centre's evening hours, when the telescope is actually used for public star viewing. Hours vary widely by season, so call ahead.   (© 10Best)
