Ontario is set to open an interim science centre next summer on Toronto's waterfront, two years after the province abruptly closed the old location in the city's east end.
Tourism Minister Stan Cho announced Wednesday that the temporary location will be at the Harbourfront Centre, which has been hosting one of two pop-up locations, an interactive play space called KidSpark that was also at the old location. The other site at Sherway Gardens mall in west Toronto will close Jan. 4.
"KidSpark ... has been met with a lot of success, a lot of traffic, and Harbourfront Centre is a site that already attracts five million visitors a year, so we're very excited about the interim location of the science centre," Cho said.
