The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, also known as the Planetarium, has been British Columbia’s premier space science attraction since its doors opened in 1968. We work hard to bridge arts, culture, and science to bring you unique shows, exhibits, and special events that spark your curiosity and inspire exploration. We offer event rental venues, birthday parties, and outreach programming where we come to you.

We are Canada's principal maritime museum on the Pacific, located in the heart of Canada's greatest ports at the gateway to the Pacific Rim. For 45 years, we have been Pacific Canada's premier link to maritime history, art, culture, industry and technology. We do our job best when visitors of all ages have fun while learning. We believe in families. We believe that anyone and everyone can continue to learn throughout their life. And we believe in making stories come alive through using artifacts - the real thing not, make-believe set. We are a favourite with children and with their parents and grandparents. We are a popular destination for both local and residents and tourists. Each year, more than 100,000 people visit the Vancouver Maritime Museum. Most of our visitors are families from the Lower mainland. During the months of May to October, the Maritime Museum is a popular destination for tourists curious about the maritime history of Canada. In addition, thousands of students participate in guided education programs and we are a popular destination for community groups.

The Museum offers a unique experience for visitors: unlike many heritage houses, the rooms are not roped off or behind glass, and some of the artefacts may be handled with care. Each of the eleven rooms has been furnished with artefacts and period items, which were collected over the years, some returned by the Roedde family. Experienced docents will be happy to share their knowledge and stories with you.
