Calgary Science Centres
Telus Spark is the new science centre in Calgary built on more than 18 acres of reclaimed land. The new center is a 153,000 sq ft facility offering over 100 hands-on exhibits, four exhibit galleries, plus a travelling exhibition gallery. There will also be an expanded and enhanced Creative Kids Museum and Calgary's only HD digital Dome Theatre (coming in spring 2012 ) and much more.
The SpacePort at the Calgary International Airport feature a variety of exhibits and artifacts related to space and flight. An eight person flight simulator and other motion simulators, a video featuring astronaut Dr. David Scott (leader of the Apollo 15 Mission) and a moon rock are just some of the interesting things on display.
The Rothney Astrophysical Observatory (RAO) is administered by the University of Calgary and features one of the three largest telescopes in Canada. There is a visitor centre as well as classrooms and educational displays. The centre also features open house nights once a month (April - October) with facility tours, sky viewing, and astronomy talks.
