TELUS Spark
220 Saint George’s Drive NE., Calgary, Alberta
TELUS Spark encourages curious museum-goers of all ages to explore topics of science, engineering, technology, math, and art through a series of interactive exhibits and hands-on experiences. The center’s Dome Theatre hosts live planetarium shows and documentary-style movies on a huge screen.
Admission to TELUS Spark includes access to all the exhibit spaces as well as free shows in the Dome Theatre. Each area of the science center explores a different topic: connect with family and friends in Being Human, investigate geology in Earth & Sky, make something new in the Open Studio, or get active in the outdoor Brainasium. A special Creative Kids Museum caters to younger visitors under nine years of age.
- TELUS Spark is a popular spot for families.
- Admission is free for children under three years old.
- All areas of the museum, including the classrooms, theater, and galleries, are wheelchair-accessible.
TELUS Spark is easy to get to from Calgary’s bike path system and public transportation. Take the LRT to Zoo Station, a 10-15 minute walk from the museum. The hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus also stops nearby.
The museum is open daily throughout the year, with extended early morning hours for the Creative Kids Museum Monday through Saturday. School groups tend to visit on weekdays between 10am and 2:30pm, so visit outside these hours for a quieter experience.
TELUS Spark hosts regular Spark After Dark nights exclusively for adults 18 years of age and older. These nights feature music, a dance floor, and a full bar, and often include docent talks in the Atrium as well as other special activities hosted throughout the exhibit space.
