| - Personally I preferred the original Telus Science Centre to the new Telus Spark. It seemed to have more stuff and I personally didn't mind the layout at all. True, this new facility is huge but found that a lot of it is office space or theatres/galleries which didn't have anything going the time we went in.
On the top level, there is a wonderful discovery area, the kids particularly loved the music and animation studios. There is also a cafeteria up there too, I just found that there were strange separate entrances to the upper levels that the public had access to which lead to conference rooms. The dome theatre was not open so that was a let down, and found the Being Human exhibit was blah.
The kids loved the indoor jungle gym and water discovery area on the main floor but the rest of that section seemed to be less than stellar. On the other side, there was a feature presentation area with nothing presented and 2 other exhibits, the Energy and Earth & Sky, yawn, again nothing to rave about.
The staff and volunteers were all great, many described the stations and helped out, thanks guy who helped us record our jumps!
Would I come back? Well, the entry fees are INSANE!!! SERIOUSLY! A family of four if eating in the cafeteria could easily drop $100 for a couple of hours, personally not a great value in my opinion considering there were no feature presentations or exhibits, no dome theatre, yet, and topping it off with gauging us for parking in their own lot, ya, not going to happen again.
I will let my little ones enjoy it with their school field trips from now on.
Pass.
