TELUS World of Science - Calgary Reviews

Way more stuff to see and do than we had time for! Need to go back. Free parking would have made it 5 stars

Very pricey but there is so much to do there. Great for kids!

There are a number of different areas and attractions, with great variety in what you can do and learn. Fantastic options for all ages - my little one (18 months old) had a great time!

Long lines for exhibits that worked poorly if at all. Even with the Thursday discount it feels like time and money wasted.

Perfect place to spend a few hours with family. Much to learn, and loads of fun to be had.

There are so many science things. I like it very much

I would have to agree with most of the lower rated reviews. Parking and admission cost is way too much for what is offered. The layout felt unorganized and the exhibits seemed amateurish and many were damaged.
There are way better places in Calgary to spend your day and money. I wouldn't recommend Spark and don't ever plan on returning.

Wonderful place to take kids and learn - actually, people of all ages will find lots to learn and discover.
Parking was easy to find.

Great place to take the kids on a cold or rainy day. Lots to learn and engage them into active educational play.

All the staff I spoke with were helpful and my 15 month old twins had a blast.

A fun place for the kids. Not too far from the park on memorial so you plan a family outing in this area!

Staff is amazing, my children had so much fun, so many hands on ways to learn

Great place to entertain kids on a rainy or cold day.

It's very nice science center. Good place for all ages.

like a mad house. camp kids monopolize the display s and don't have any supervision.

Mkids have great time here and will be back next time

Big new building by the Calgary Zoo. The human body exhibit was very good.

Great place for kids. Educational yet fun. Watched the 3D dinosaur movie and kids loved it. Find the price quite expensive tho. Will definitely spend at least 2 hrs.here to explore and go around everything. If your kids love science this place is a must to visit.

Our two kids love spending time at Telus Spark. The new Circus theme is really cool and there is a lot to explore. I do wish they carried some of the theme and excitement into the kids area. The baby area always has the same toys and it would be nice to see some changes in that area to increase engagement. The food is also a hit with our family as well! The lime fries are delicious.

Kids always have fun and busy learning playing there.

Soild place to take younger children. Worth the season pass if you love close.

Me and my kids love this place. Keep up the good work.

Not organized. Some displays not working. Exspensive

My daughter loved her school visit here. As an engineer, I appreciated being able to talk scientific with her. The outdoor play area is also cool. There s a lot to see and do outdoors as well.

My daughter just loved this place...we spent an entire day there

Kid-friendly learning environment, lots of fun shows and interactive experiences.

We love TELUS Spark! It's a great place for kids to just be kids - get messy, get creative, be loud, ask questions! The staff are very kid friendly. A year pass was definitely worth it. We're still not tired of going. The park is awesome, and we really enjoyed their Stampede pancake breakfast.
I didn't give it the full 5 stars because there are a few exhibits in need of repairs. Very frustrating for kids to work on something that doesn't respond the way it should, or keeps falling apart because of ill fitting pieces. However, there aren't too many of those.

A great way to spend the afternoon running around learning and laughing with your family. Guaranteed to make your kids fall asleep on the ride home!

Lots of fun! Good for 3 years and up. I think my 21 month old was a little over stimulated. However I had a blast!

Very underwhelming. Not focused on science learning, more focused on entertainment. Poor exhibits, poor interactive displays. Typical of all museums in Calgary, poorly managed, poorly curated and totally ignorable. I'd drive to Edmonton to see some museums if that's what you're after.

My kids love coming here. Lots to do inside and outside. Highly recommend getting a year pass.

Always fun, always something new to do for my 6 and 12 year olds

This is an amazing location to spend a day with kids or even as an inquisitive adult. The outdoor play area and junkyard building area are great (my only complaint as a an adult is I couldn't go into the junkyard). There are often great temporary exhibits (BodyWorlds and Circus Science) but the permanent exhibits are pretty cool too. Love the fact the Dome shows are included in the price of admission too.

Dissapointed. I am proud to say that I am a science nerd, I love all aspects of science and the applications in every moment of our lives. I feel that the opportunity given to Calgary to build a brand new science centre was poorly squandered. Given the age of technology that we live in and the time that this centre was created I expected so much more.

Unfortunately most of the displays would be more ground breaking if they occurred in the 60's than they do now. Not to say that they aren't relevant; but my child can learn equally as well from watching a blade of grass flow through a gutter after a rainfall than some of the exhibits.

It's over priced, poorly managed and a shameful display of the amazement and wonderment of what science truly is.

Went for adult night, best experience ever. An amazing date idea.

Wasn't worth the 26 bucks for an adult to get in. 5 bucks for parking was a burn too especially for paying 26 dollars admission.

Lots of activities for my toddlers to enjoy for hours.

A very cool place to develop a child's intellectual and practical skills

Paid over $50 for two tickets to the cannabis adult night. Was expecting a lot of information and exhibits. What I got was huge line ups to actually see the educational part... most of the regular attractions were broken or out of order.

The room with the speakers (when you finally got in) had extremely little seating, people were sitting on the floor where chairs should have been. After 30 minutes I wanted to leave because of how ripped off I felt.

They advertised 'risky science' but what you got was pipe cleaner arts and crafts and over priced booze.

I don't see a reason to ever go to the spark again.

Always engaging for kids and adults. Tons of hands- on exhibits, planetarium shows, special live demonstrations. High quality activities. Pricey cafeteria....bring lunch.

Expensive for a very limited set of exhibits. Mostly child focused, great if you have a 1-8 year old. Even the body worlds exhibit was underwhelming.

This place is really good for family with young children

Wonderful place to bring kids. Kids under 3 are free and there's a great area for them to run around, safely climb, play in water, draw, and do unstructured play.

Could be more for the price you pay for tickets and parking. Still pretty cool though!

Went with my BFF for the Valentine's Your Brain on Love and we did dinner, too. The premise was great, but the execution was AWFUL!!! $85/ticket for subpar food, poor quality essential oils, and a Facebook survey to see how long people were couples. The photographer was fun but still can't find our photos from the event. Very disappointed. Best part was chatting with the other people at our table at dinner.

Kept my 5 year old daughter busy for 3 hours. Amazing hands on play for tots to adults.

Great value to get an annual pass and take the kids.

We had a great time and the kids had an amazing time. This place is fabulous for inquisitive kids!

Good place to bring kids but the sunday hours are limated. Also a little expensive

The access for the pedestrian is really complicated.

Most incredible science center I've been to since I was a child.

It was a great experience and alit of fun! Most of the exhibits were the same from 4+ years ago, and entry and parking fee were quite expensive.

It's a bit limited compared to other science museums I've been to. Some of the materials, particularly the energy related ones, really need to be repaired and upgraded. The creative studio upstairs, however, is fantastic: disassembling tech items, making animations, adding soundtracks. The outdoor stuff is pretty cool as well. They really need like one more exhibit hall, though. The rotating exhibits aren't quite enough.

Great place to take the family for an afternoon or just going by yourself lots of fun things to do there

Very interesting one time venue. I have taken grandchildren and they were enthralled by different segments.

Absolutely amazing place. The young boy with autism that i works with loves it here, and the staff are so helpful!!

I don't need a christmas present. Just take me to Spark.

Planetarium seats don't lie back making the planetarium experience most un-enjoyable

Good amount of activities, although the admission is very expensive. Best part about this place is the live demos they do regularity. The dome theatre is a must-see too!

Too much to see and do in one day but an awesome place just the same. A bit expensive for a typical family outing but worth it if treated as a special event.

Definitely understand that this is a science museum geared towards families. Very interactive and fun for the kids, but if you want to learn new things on a more advanced level, you'll want to visit an traditional science centre.

Great attractions and the admission cost includes free entry to the Dome Theatre. Unlimited viewing :). The attractions were really neat. I felt the place was a little bit small but great for children and kid camps!

went for adult night, it was alcohol themed but we just walked the place and learned about science, also there were dogs there for some reason? I'm not complaining.

The individual entrance ticket price 8s on the high side for a single visit but a annual pass is excellent value if you have kids. Despite the fact that kids are interacting with the displays on a daily basis, they are good condition and well maintained (I have been to science centres in the past where a good percentage of displays are under repair/out of service). They also have adult nights there but I have yet to check one out.

The kids love it, lots of fun things to do. Can be very busy on holidays/ days off school. I hate that they play with toys at the entrance and hand them over to kids to play with because my kids are always upset that they don t get to keep them. It seems like a mean way to get sales

Great space with many areas of science to be explored. Always a lot of helpful staff around. The cost is very high for a family of four. We have avoided buying any annual pass as it is always busy during our visits. So busy that you cannot get close to exhibits. It would be great if there was a day a month which was dedicated to special needs people and children who get overstimulated in such a busy, noisy environment.

A great hands-on museum in which children and adults learn a lot about our planet through a variety of experiments.

Had a great experience at Telus Spark! There is so many great exhibits and conventions. The new circus convention is great, and the dome theatre is wonderful! I am very satisfied with my visit.

Not friendly to anyone over teh age of 8. They do NOT update their exhibits. Not worth the price you pay. They do not have student pricing. All in all terrible time.

Went to the body world's exhibit. Loved it. Quite the building.

Great for kids and family. Anyone rating the facility less than 3 is likely kidless or harsh in their review.

It is a fun family place to explore. The kids section is very well setup.

Very informative and interesting for kids and younoned
