We reopened our pop-up location in Pine Centre Mall.

We reopened our pop-up location in Pine Centre Mall on Saturday, January 15th. At this time, we will be reopening Elements Retail only and all public programming will be postponed.

We have loved seeing the community again since we opened our Pop-Up, and we have seen that our community loves us and has missed us too. You also trust us to put your safety first. As such, we have had to once again make some difficult pre-emptive decisions in light of the Omicron variant presently looming over our region.

The health and safety of our staff and our visitors has always been our primary consideration as we make decisions during these uncertain times. As scientists learn more about the threat that Omicron presents to individuals, organizations, and in particular, to our struggling health care system and its professionals, we decide to close our Pop-Up location in Pine Centre Mall  on December 23rd, 2021.

The Exploration Place is a science centre, a museum that is central to our community, and a forum where our visitors can come to explore ideas and information in a safe and moderated environment. As such, we have a duty to the public to make careful decisions based on the emerging science.

In the meantime, we encourage you to get your booster shot as soon as you are eligible, wear a high-quality mask such as an N95 or KN95, and keep your social groups small over the holidays.

Stay safe and as we have done for the past two years of uncertainty, know that we will get through this together, too.
