What's On
Spend Spring Break at TELUS Spark. Enjoy extended programming, Live Science Demonstrations and more!
Don't miss Solar Observing taking place March 26-30 and participate in at least one of three Live Science Demonstrations in the Presentation Theatre.
Top Tips for Spring Break:
- Skip the queue by purchasing tickets online in advance!
- Driving? Park near the exit gate and pay for your parking at the admission desk. Parking is a flat rate of $5.00, and is complimentary with Gold & Charter Membership.
Coming by Transit? It's a short 10-15 minute walk from the Zoo LRT Station. Stroller parking is available in our lobby.
- Beat the rush. The majority of weekend visitors arrive in the afternoon, so plan to come down early. Enjoy hot breakfast in the Cafe.
- Plan to get hands on! The new Science Centre is all about getting involved with the exhibits. Take your time, experiment, create, question and explore. If you're not sure where to start or what to try, ask one of our Facilitators to help you out! We recommend at least an hour per Gallery, plus time to take in a Live Science Demonstration or Drop-In Program, which are included with your general admission. Scroll down to see full week schedule to help plan your day. Here's a little peak at two of the Live Demonstrations:
- Think you'll be back? If you enjoyed your experience with animation, stress tests, erosion tables, explosions, and more, remember that you can apply your admission toward a Membership within seven days of your visit. Just be sure to hang on to your ticket stub! View Member Benefits
