Why Go
Whoa! Science! Come on down to Spark and experience science connections like never before. Welcoming guests of all ages and abilities to explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math in mind-blowing ways. The Infinity Dome theatre is a 360-degree planetarium, showing new and cool movies and shows. You can even enjoy popcorn and a drink and as many shows as you can squeeze into your visit! The little ones ages 0-8 can enjoy the Creative Kids Museum, filled with science fun for developing brains. Guests can also check out the permanent installation of an Indigenous moss bag and its stories and science, via the Moss Bag Project partnership.
What's Great
General Admission covers all special exhibits, unlimited dome shows and the award winning Brainasium Outdoor Park. Astronaut Ice Cream café is the place to try out one of Spark’s nine planetary ice cream flavours that are out of this world, as well as serves Monogram coffee and snacks! Or, enjoy a bite in the Spark Eatery and find unique gifts for that science geek in your life in the Spark Store. Check the Spark website for Spark After Dark – adult only events that are sure to have adults rekindling their love for science and of course fun! Spark is a registered charity, and every dollar you donate empowers a child, a student, a parent, an adult in need, or a new Canadian to discover a world inspired by curiosity.
Local Tip:
Astronaut ice cream café is open the same hours as Spark and guests do not need to pay admission just to get their planetary ice cream!
