It takes a core set of skills to create something new, whether it's a ground breaking discovery or a toy robot. TELUS Spark is a place to build these skills by using your imagination to see beyond what exists, your curiosity to formulate a question and persistence and problem-solving skills to keep going, despite surprises and mistakes, to find the confidence in yourself to uncover the answers. « less

We have been to Science Centre ten times or more. My daughter loves here. It is great time to meet science. Price of annual admin. is reasonable.

My family has yearly membership passes to this centre and we would visit more often if it wasn't for the $5 parking fee. We have visited a few science centres in Canada and the United States ;This centre although being quite young, is not as intriguing as others. If you're looking for something to do in Calgary, I would suggest... More

As two adults travelling, we like to visit science centres just because we enjoy science. Although significantly more interactive than the Edmonton Space and Science Centre with which we're well acquainted and much more modern with the majority of their exhibits and equipment working properly, it was smaller than we were expecting. From the exterior, the building looks massive and... More

We have been to Spark dozens of times already and are never disappointed. I appreciate that everyone is fully entertained including my son when he was two all the way to my 52 year old engineer brother. Whenever I suggest a trip to Spark it elicits woots of joy.

I first visited this new science centre to see how my 1 year old daughter would like it. She had such a blast that her grandmother got a membership for both of us. We take my daughter at least once a week and it's always entertaining. We've been going for nearly a year. The kids section is even fun for... More

There is very little here to get anyone engaged in science, it's more like a bunch of playground exhibits and random displays that have little to nothing to do with science, with barely any explanation accompanying the displays. It's not engaging for kids wanting to learn about science, and it certainly isn't engaging for adults. A $20 entrance fee for... More

Took the family (two teens and a baby) a month ago. I had a good time, but I must say that the price to get in is a bit steep. They had a movie monster special exhibit that was very interesting, a great kids area (which included something for all kids, including my little 8 month old), lots of hand... More

After paying $20 a person for 3 adults plus $14 for a 4 year old we went to see the 11:00 show in the dome and they wanted an extra $8 a person. What a joke! We will never be back.
