Come one, come all and explore the thrills of the Circus! this summer at Pacific Science Center. Open daily through September 6, discover what kind of science awaits you under the big top with Circus! classics including the human cannonball, sword swallowers and aerial acrobatics. Circus! is a highly sensory, interactive, educational extravaganza that will let you live out your dream of running away to join the circus.

Strap into a harness on the high wire (nine-feet above the ground!) and find out how good your balancing act is by trying to make it across the 20-foot long wire. (click
here before your visit to see specific requirements for our harnessed interactives.) How much force can you exert with your hands in order to bend an iron bar? Discover how your body can use leverage, compression and tension to perform amazing feats of strength. Explore the art of packanatomicalization (getting into small spaces), and find out if a person can really fold themselves into a small box.

Imagination becomes reality in this one-of-a-kind summer exhibit at Pacific Science Center.

As part of Circus!, Pacific Science Center is pleased to show Cirque du Soleil: Journey of Man in our Eames IMAX Theater. A visual and musical celebration that follows a mystical journey through the stages of man, from birth to maturity, this film was shot in spectacular locations around the world. Each setting is introduced by a Cirque du Soleil act.

Circus! was developed by the Ontario Science Centre.
