Sleeping Areas

Sleeping areas throughout the Ontario Science Centre are assigned by the Sleepover (as on brochure) staff and cannot be selected. Washrooms are readily accessible for changing. Please note that we do not have shower facilities and, in true sleepover fashion, all participants will bunk down on the floor to sleep.

Please note: Most sleeping areas are not carpeted and exhibits are not completely dark due to emergency lighting.

Supervision and Security

1. Group Leaders/Organizers are responsible for supervision of their participants.
2. The minimum supervision ratio is one adult, leader or supervisor to eight children.
3. The Ontario Science Centre has special emergency procedures and protocols for overnight events. All Sleepover participants are trained in fire-drill procedures at the beginning of the night.
4. Security staff and Sleepover staff remain in the building throughout the night.

Attention Girl Guide Leaders: Download a pre-filled Girl Guides of Canada Emergency Response Plan (SG.4) and the Emergency Response Guidelines Appendix D. You'll need the free Acrobat Reader to view or print the document. We've taken care of the sections relating to the Ontario Science Centre for you!
