This weekend Marco and I went to the Toronto Science Center. It was under heavy construction and a lot of exhibits were gone or inaccessible. I remember when I was a kid there were replica moon landers you could go in, a real moon rock, and neat things about space that made me wan to be an astronaut when I grow up. Now there's barely anything in the space exhibit. There was still quite a bit to see and we had a good time. Later we watched an omni max film where the entire wall and ceiling is the movie and covers your whole field of view. It was pretty impressive, though anything that's a straight line gets distorted such as buildings, vehicles, etc...
After, we went up Young St. and checked out all the business going on but didn't stop. On our way back up the 400 we stopped at the new Vaughn Mills shopping mall. It is definitely a huge mall and since it's brand new everything there looks great. We walked around but didn't go in many stores, maybe one or two? We were more interested in having dinner so we ate at the food court. I had Chinese food and Marco had a KFC combo. One of the "stores" has several in door go-cart tracks, a bowling alley, arcade, etc.. very neat. This mall is probably the coolest place to hang out for teens in the area. It's not as cool as the Orillia Square Mall though :)
