I agree Keith, it is not a service available to the masses. Too many families could not afford to visit. Apparently there is a membership available, but I can't get to a membership info page. "The not-for-profit Discovery Centre is Nova Scotia’s only hands-on science centre whose mandate is to stimulate interest, enjoyment and understanding of science and technology through innovative, exciting, hands-on experiences for all Nova Scotians.
