Just be sure to visit the Cohon Family Nature Escape, where you can spy a giant Baltimore oriole nest, a porous concrete wall that provides a canvas for live moss graffiti, and a tree slide carved from the fallen trunk of a 125-year-old Eastern White Pine.
Frommer's "Since this pioneering interactive science museum opened in 1969, generations of Toronto's kids, and their offspring, have proven loyal fans." Full review
