Body Worlds Exhibition at Ontario Science Centre in Toronto

Obviously this is not a children-oriented exhibition but babies don't care and for those in age of understanding the human body I guess it is a good educational way to spend a sunday afternoon and actually I was amazed by how many children were either listening to their parents trying to explain what they know about the human body or watching those lifeless bodies. The exhibition was first in Toronto approximatively 3 years ago and they came back for a few months with the Story of the Heart exhibition. I won't say much about the exhibition itself except one little thing: if you can't stand ER on TV then it might not be for you as it is tough on emotions:) but extremely interesting. The Ontario Science Centre is huge, displaying many exhibitions at the same time for all audiences and I guess you want to purchase a membership if you want to enjoy them all. With a baby your time is probably limited so based on Baby's schedule, you may try it at night as you will get special fares for the Body Worlds Exhibition only. Fee is $27 per person for the day and the museum is stroller friendly. They claim to have an online ticket booking service but it never worked for us so you may want to try to book over the phone as some of the times (I think they let people in every 30 minutes) might be already sold out when you get there. Washrooms on the main floor are well equiped with a changing station and a nursery room. Elevators can take you to the different levels.

Just a quick piece of advice: don't eat anything too heavy before you go and see the Body Worlds Exhibition:)
We made the trip to the Ontario Science Centre for the Body Worlds Exhibition but I am sure they have many other really interesting events so please check their calendar at http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/whatson/default.asp
