TELUS World of Science, Calgary
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TELUS World of Science, Calgary, is a science museum and planetarium complex located in Calgary, Alberta. The facility was formerly named the Calgary Science Centre and was officially renamed on April 27, 2005 following the announcement of a $9-million donation from Canadian telephone company, TELUS.[1]
The centre is well known in western Canada and is one of the largest such facilities in Canada.
A new exhibit resulting from a partnership with the Creative Kids Museum is scheduled to open Fall 2006. The facility is also scheduled to be re-located from its current building in Calgary's Downtown West End to a new complex immediately north of the Calgary Zoo in 2010.
