TELUS Spark, the new Science Centre is Canada's first purpose-built new Science Centre in over 25 years and is a place of inquiry that looks at issues, ideas and concepts related to science, technology and creativity. Experiences are at once serious and playful, reliant on the ingenuity and enthusiasm of the visitors and collaborators to frame learning. The facility houses four permanent exhibit Galleries, an expanded and enhanced Creative Kids Museum, a Feature Gallery that will host travelling exhibitions from 2013, a Presentation Theatre, an HD Digital Dome Theatre opening in Spring 2012, a dedicated Learning Centre equipped with two fully-functional labs and four learning studios, and an Outdoor Park. Young artists, engineers and adventurers have a special place in the new Creative Kids Museum, a 9,000 square-foot space packed with hands-on activities designed for children under nine.
