During our recent trip to Toronto, Hugo and I experienced a major disappointment (albeit our only disappointment) which was our visit to the Ontario Science Center.
My disappointment was the result of my years long enthusiasm for a return visit to the OSC. That desire/ yearning was based upon my last very enjoyable visit to the OSC. However, that last visit was approximately 35 years ago and, unfortunately, IMO, much has changed in the interim (duh). Again IMO, the changes are not for the better.
Hugo was not impressed in the slightest. His opinion of the OSC was, in a word, "boring". That assessment was damning indeed inasmuch as Hugo is a museum goer of the highest order. His judgment was most likely based upon the fact that the place - it's very big place - seemed to be aimed at entertaining very young kids. Fortunately for Hugo (and me), the visit was salvaged by an entertaining and informative IMAX movie.
That written, my primary salvation was had in picturing a wide variety of fire hose installations and a few mini light shows that were to be found outside of restrooms. Although, I must admit to feeling more than a bit weirdly conspicuous while I was hanging around pointing my camera at restroom entrance/exits.

That is about how long it has been for me too. It was pretty much brand new then and very impressive.
