Spark is Sirius about ice cream! The Astronaut Ice Cream café has lightyears of flavours, from Mercury all the way to Pluto, and the featured flavour: The James Webb.
New ice cream alert! The James Webb is topped with sponge toffee, sprinkles, chocolate sticks and a honeycomb cookie. This is in honour of the James Webb Space Telescope, which is an infrared telescope designed to study the universe.
No admission to Spark is needed to come and enjoy a swirl of ice cream, snacks, specialty drinks or a warm cup of Monogram coffee. Parking is FREE for the first 45 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time to enjoy an ice cream!
A tribute to the most successful exploration mission to Saturn – imagine a gas giant planet made of salted caramel and chocolate. This rich Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is adorned with seven malted chocolate spheres representing Cassini’s close approach to some of Saturn’s many moons and a salted caramel pretzel celebrating the discovery of additional rings around this iconic planet.
Did you know that the James Webb Telescope primary mirror has a diametre of 6.5 metres? In comparison the Hubble Telescope is 2.4 metres in diametre. The larger the mirror the more sensitivity a telescope has, which allows them to see further away and see things with more detail.
The Astronaut Ice Cream café was made possible thanks to the generous support of the City of Calgary, Government of Alberta and Government of Canada.
