TELUS World of Science - Calgary Reviews

My kids love science but my family belong to the lower income bracket. We budget Spark memberships for our three kids and two adults. We love it but sometimes looking at the cost is a little hard. It is worth it although heavy on the pocket

Top notch. Kids loved it. Great shows in the dome and the inspiration stage. Strongly recommend.

This is a great place for families to explore Science and Technology with Hands-On experiences. I found the staff to be enthusiastic and friendly. Plan for about 3 hours or more to see everything.

A great place to spend a day, the staff was friendly and informed. The exhibits where very well put together (placement). It felt like you were discovering,not lead.

If you're over 18 and don't have kids then I'd recommend going on an adult's night. As a whole it's geared more towards children but when you add in alcohol it gets all that much better.

It is probably with visiting once if you have kids, but there really isn't much to do there that would keep me coming back. There are much better science centers it there.

I find the over all experience to be good each visit, my children enjoy visiting here.

Always an amazing experience! We learn something new every visit and enjoy old favourites

Lots of interactive learn through play options for kids. Value for money

The staff is fantastic. This place is always great for the whole family.

Lots to do a great place to spend a day with kids watch them learn new things while you learn also

We go here once a week and my son loves it every time!

We have a pass here & we go quite often... but it never gets boring! Always so many fun things for the kids to do, see and explore!

Nice place for kids, pricy, however, and mostly all same exhibits

Great fun for our twin 9 year olds as well as our 2 year old.

My almost 3 year-old really loved it. She could spend 30 mins to engage in one activity and then move to the next at Kid creative center. I am considering buy a membership so i can take care there every week.

Terrible. Expensive and only attractive to small children. The movie was bad mto tb.

Always a good time. It's worth checking to see what travelling exhibit is there, but also the day to day demonstrations are lots of fun.

Amazing place...We spended a lot of time there...make me feel like a child...

Purchased a membership and checked it out for the first time today. Lots to do and see. We didn't quite get everything in, so we look forward to going back soon.

Adult night was very interesting. Recommended 3rd Friday of every month. Online ticketing never seems to work, but you can just buy tickets at the door.

What a great science centre for kids. So many great hands on activities that you can easily fill a day. Great for all ages. This is a favourite spot of ours on a cold rainy day. My youngest can burn off steam climbing and exploring. The water table is always a hit too.

We had a blast here!! We usually come to Calgary to visit the zoo but this place is definitely our new favourite place!!

Biggest waste of money. The old science center was way better and more fully interactive

I love the Science centre. It's fun for me and my young son.

Best time to go is adult nights to avoid the crowd.

Dome shows are dizzying but overall the Star Trek Adults Only Night was fantastic!

very Awesome for kids to spend all day. very educated, informative games places and indoor outdoor playgrounds. if u are coming here save the zoo for another day because u will spend the whole day here!

Unless theres an event on it's way too expensive. I was really disappointed that there is an additional fee to see the planetarium show. So after paying $18 admission you see some exhibits then pay $10 more for the show. For a family its not worth the entrance fee unless you get a pass and go frequently

We went for spark after dark and it was a good time... especially the animals: inside out

Amazing sections in the museum and worth spending time and money into this place! Tons of interactive activities for kids!

The shows and other activities that used to be extra are included in the cost of ticket now, really appreciate that.

Definitely great for kids, would never go without a kid, not as adult friendly as the older science Centre that was downtown

Good place to take the kids too. Lots of fun activities for the children. The dome show however isn't too great as its uncomfortable to view as you will need to strain your head to look at the ceiling. Seats do not recline so try to sit at the back.

We get a seasons pass every year. Completly worth it. My 4 yo loves the water station, exhibits and the experiments the staff do for the visitors. Food is not a typical "kids" menu you find at other places

More interesting than expected. Lots of activities and hands on learning.

Great for kids. Lots of activities that are educational and fun. The Star Trek experience was fun for me and the kids (even though they have never seen Star Trek)

Visited numerous times with whole family have great fun. We purchased annual membership and we are very happy. The museum offer a few different exhibitions throughout the year. My 5 year old loves the outdoor playground. Giving 4 stars only because of the quality and price of the food that they have there.

We need more places like telus spark to ignite children's imagination and love for the sciences.

This place is children oriented. Youth and adults can barely find anything interesting, interactive and fun to do. Check out Amsterdam's NEMO and compare to Calgary's science museum; enormous difference. Telus Sparks needs to stretch more in exhibitions and tackle 'taboo topics' more.

Need to be more open about price changes when someone is purchasing a gift card. The food court is very expensive, I recommend bringing your own food. Lots to do for the kids and the shows are good and informative.

Attended an all day event in the halls and the sounds of kids playing coming through the walls and doors was annoying. And you had to go wandering a fair distance to the back 40 to find washrooms. They should have signs opposite the hall exit. Under whelmed. Maybe the science stuff is better.

Decent for kids. The outside play park is the highlight and really good for kids to wear off steam. Omnimax theatre is good too.

I love this place! So much to see and so much to do. You can go individually or as a group. They offer tours and educational "classes". Everytime I've gone there's something new to see and experience. I've taken kids as they grow and learn over the years and it's fun to watch as they move from one area to another or expand on previous fun activities. Parking is ample and I think it's priced accordingly. Can't wait to go again!

The Junkyard play space for the kids in the back is incredible. Great fun and a wonderful experience for the kids. As an adult bring a book and let your kid learn and play independently. It was a Fantastic day and in the words of my kids the most fun they have had.

It's cool. Edmonton's one is better. However, the one on Calgary has a very cool outdoor play area that is quiet unique.

We have annual passes and the creative kids museum is terrific for cold winter or rainy days.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Lots to see and do and we'll happily go again when a new exhibit pops up. The kids loved the space exploration area.

Very pricy. We had a wonderful time at the science centre, the demonstrations were entertaining and informative, and the interactive displays were a great way to spend an afternoon. Still hard to get over the price $96 for 2 adults and 2 kids.

Lots of interesting thing inside but I think the entrance fee is a bit overpricing

It was ok. Staff was very friendly and tried their best but I wouldn't recommend going right now. Its awkward with social distancing, and not especially if you have little ones. Not enough open to actually entertain them. A little disappointing I guess

I wanted to like it so bad, but the whole day here was an exercise in frustration. There was an enormous opening line up (100s of people) but only one till open. There was no signage for washrooms, and when I finally found some using the fire map, a staff member yelled at me for going down a hall I shouldn't. There was no sign saying I shouldn't go, and I said so, and she said, "Yeah, we're getting one." Well that's fine but don't yell at your customers for your own inadequacy!

The exhibits were pretty good. A few were out of order but you can expect that where kids are involved. There was lots of interactivity, but few explanations. The "energy and innovation" section would be more accurately labeled the "oil industry indoctrination" section.

The cafeteria was expensive as you'd expect, but the food was pretty tasty.

We went with a 3 year old and a 1 year old, and it feels like they didn't get much out of it. Could have just played with Grandpa's knex and saved the admission fee.

Telus Spark is a great place to take family for an indoor adventure during poor weather. The price for the annual "Gold Membership" is reasonable and gets you into almost every they have to offer, and pays for it's self in about 2-3 visits. There is always a traveling exhibit to see if you spread out your trips, and the movies presented in the "Dome Theatre" are educational and entertaining. The staff are great at interacting with children and engaging them in the different learning centres, and put on some really cool experiments for all the guests to enjoy. Parking can be a little bit of a Nightmare on the weekend, however you can take the C-Train to the Zoo and it's only about a 5-10 min walk.

Great for kids, not so much for adults. I ve visited TELUS Spark a few times now and I always seem to leave disappointed. I may be expecting more than the facility is able to offer unfortunately. Typically when I go I ll find multiple exhibits are down for some technical reason. It s also almost always overcrowded with kids. I understand the demographic that TELUS Spark is trying to attract so it s not that bad. But it can get a little tiring when you re also trying to enjoy the space. The Dome theater is a nice idea but not implemented very well. The resolution of the projector is very low and ultimately ends up giving me a headache. I m hoping that TELUS Spark improves over time because the concept behind it is great. But right now it leaves a lot to be desired.

It's a neat experience but quite honestly quite expensive for what you get. It would have to be an amazingly interactive exhibit to bring us back.

They have a paid parking lot and you have to pay for entry. Really fun for all ages! Always a good time.

Great facility for kids of all ages. Really like how interactive it is!!! Pretty expensive, I hope they have programs for access when people a are low income.. shouldn t just be for the rich.

Excellent exhibits with a large number of hands on items for kids and adults alike. If you go to view a Dome Show, sit in the top back for best full experience of the screen.

Could't go wrong with a Star Trek event. Nice demonstrations of the various science fields that kids could learn from and enjoy. The food court was clean and had something for everyone.

Great place for 2 year old... my son loves the water table. Absolutely recommend the membership.

Awesome for families with curious minds and a lot of energy to burn!

Kids love it, staff is great, there's food stuff for the whole family.

Great science centre with a little museum area that's perfect for toddlers and tons of interactive exhibits!

I just found it very costly and had a feeling of let down. Def not as great as I thought it would be. Its more like an expensive educational play place. I felt oike we were missing something but nope. Go across to the zoo instead

My 2 kids love coming here and it's usually a fight when we go home :) So much to do and fun for the whole family. We always buy passes every year which makes is so worth while, paying admission each time is very pricey. Love going.
