Science North will be shut down over the next few weeks for its regularly scheduled maintenance work.

And over the next month the tourist attraction will be making upgrades to its IMAX theatre,which will be closed a few extra weeks.

Senior Manager of Visitor Services, Renee LePera says they’re replacing the film projector and sound system, with more advanced laser technology.

LePera says this will allow them to offer expanded programming.

Neither the size of the screen, nor the seating will change, and the IMAX renovations will be finished February 6th, while Science North plans to reopen to the public January 16th.
