member stories
“The Ontario Science Centre was a whirlwind of discovery for our family. The kids were mesmerized by the rainforest on Level 6 and even spotted a poison dart frog. The interactive displays were fantastic. It was a day well spent. And, thanks to Canoo’s unlimited free entries during the first year of our membership, we can’t wait to explore more of the Science Centre and other places in Toronto!”
“The Royal Ontario Museum was a treasure trove for our family! It’s like a journey through time and nature all at once. My son, a dino fanatic, was speechless seeing real dinosaur skeletons! We explored ancient artifacts, stunning artwork, and even marine creatures – all under one roof. We discovered this gem thanks to Canoo and can’t wait to explore more!”
