What we’re all about.
Welcome to Royal City Science, Guelph's hub for discovery and innovation.
Our mission is twofold:
1) Spark curiosity and foster a love for science in all ages through our engaging STEAM (Science, Technology, Education, Arts, and Math) pop-up events, and
2) Lay the groundwork for our future home—a state-of-the-art science centre where the wonders of science will have a permanent stage.
Join us in our journey of exploration and inspiration, where every encounter with science is an adventure for the mind and the senses.
