About TELUS Spark Science Centre
The Telus Spark Science Centre in Calgary is an interactive science museum that draws more than 430,000 visits a year, including many school groups. Founded in 1987 out of the former Centennial Planetarium, which opened in 1967, the center moved into a new building in the Nose Creek Valley in 2011. The complex covers a large site north of the Calgary Zoo. The museum offers multimedia presentations, educational programs, and interactive exhibits. The site's history goes back to the late 1960s, when it first served as a planetarium before being converted into a science center and later relaunched under the name Telus Spark.
