Built in 1917, this firehouse outgrew its usefulness as a firehouse and was closed down. It was converted into a Science Museum with lots of hands-on educational fun for the children. Later, an addition was installed next door and the first floor wall was removed. The Science Station entry door is now located in the new addition that also contains an IMAX theatre.

The firehouse portion of the Science Station has interesting expirments to perform on all three floors.
