Ontario is searching for a temporary home for the Ontario Science Centre at a fraction of the size of the building the province abruptly closed last week due to structural concerns.

A general view of the Ontario Science Centre is shown in Toronto, Friday, May 5, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESSChris Young

The government was already planning to relocate the science centre to the waterfront Ontario Place attraction, but that is not slated to open until 2028, so officials said they would look for a temporary space to house some of the programming and exhibits in the meantime. Opponents of the science centre relocation were already critical of the fact the new building at Ontario Place is set to be half the original building's size, and the temporary location would be less than half of that smaller facility.

"We would easily term this a micro Ontario Science Centre and I would personally go so far to say as Premier Ford is offering the people of Ontario a Chuck E. Cheese-size facility for the next four to five years."
