Science! And alcohol! Hooray!
Adult Night at Telus Spark is really fun but oh so busy night. Eager beavers that we are, arrived at 5:55pm to discover that Calgary gets really excited about a night out with no kids. There was a huge line waiting for the doors to open. Credit to the staff they were on it checking ID's and getting tickets scanned so people could go science.
Didn't realise that you needed an extra ticket to see the Body Works exhibit and we weren't the only ones. Staff helped direct us into the ticket line and make sure we were able to get back into the museum as our tickets had already been scanned. If you haven't had a chance to see a Body Works exhibit you should go. Unbelievable amazed at how they show all the muscles and blood vessels and the like. Also glad we hit this up first as it seemed a popular choice.
As it was their Valentines addition: Little Shop of Pleasures was on hand showing off toys they sell, World Health had peoples heart rates up with Zumba, you could draw your junk and display it (correct anatomical drawing on hand to help), throw your your heart ache in the giant ball that was then set on fire later on, oh and you can drink through it all.
Best part of the night was seeing all the adults defy the height restriction and climb around in the play area of the kids zone.
Lets not jest, it is insanely busy for the first 2hrs of the event until people space themselves out, and if you want to see one of the talks I recommend you are quick prompt on it as soon as the doors open cause the auditorium fills up quick. But its a really fun night out and great to see adults at play and just having a good time.
Will definitely be back for future events and to try the giant slide outside!
