I loved that place even more than ShowBiz Pizza! Even though the "Hall of Giants" kinda scared me when I was very small. (Picture at the bottom here-- http://www.oc.edu/academy/heartofamerica/historyofes2.php) It broke my heart when I found out it closed. Enterprise Square FTW!

I feel like I remember that, but there was so much at the Omniplex that I might be taking that room from another museum and mentally dropping it in there.  Wasn’t there also, like, some ancient Chinese pottery tucked away in a random corner upstairs?

I remember when I was young, the Planetarium restrooms at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, Canada featured a large diagram on space toilets facing the urinals (I believe the Womens had a similar pictoral near the sinks).
