Inaugurated in 1994, the Laval Cosmodome is the only institution in Canada that is fully devoted to widespread enlightenment on the space sciences.
Through its three interactive, virtual missions inaugurated in 2012, the Cosmodome has become an outer space edutainment provider offering opportunities to raise public awareness of the joys of space sciences, by means of an approach based on the following experiential pillars: looking, listening, participating and experiencing. This approach contributes toward appealing to the senses and emotions in order to stimulate intuitive attention and learning in an immersive environment.
With over 150,000 visitors per year, the Cosmodome is a destination for all Canadian families and also for school groups from all Canadian provinces, from the United States, Europe and Asia.
The Cosmodome is recognized as a major regional player in scientific literacy and recreational tourism. It is one of the metropolitan facilities of the Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal (CMM), just as the Montreal Botanical Garden, for example, thereby giving Canada-wide visibility to the City of Laval and Greater Montreal as a whole.
