The Telus World of Science, is a science museum and planetarium complex located in the Downtown West End of 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.
