The holidays are made of moments, memories — and a little bit of science. That sounds like the holidays at TELUS Spark Science Centre! Every sparkling snowflake, every twinkling light, and every moment of connection make up the science of the holidays, from the chemistry of warmth, the physics of light, and the biology of joy. It’s time to celebrate the science that brings us the brightest of seasons and the magic of all that matters!

TELUS Spark Holidays

Merry and Matter at TELUS Spark runs from November 12, 2025, to January 4, 2026, with a NEW exhibit – Extreme Sports launches on December 11, a NEW planetarium show – Backyard Wilderness opens on November 15, and the classic Goodnight Moon is making its way back into our hearts through a beloved digital immersive experience.

Extreme Sports: Do you have what it takes? Extreme Sports, the newest exhibit coming to TELUS Spark, takes you inside the minds and bodies of extreme athletes. You can explore the physiology, psychology, and physicality of some of the most extreme activities in the world in this high-energy exhibition. Hear incredible stories from amazing athletes and explore the thrill of extreme sports in this immersive and interactive exhibit.

Goodnight Moon: The timeless bedtime story, Goodnight Moon, has been read to generations of children for over 75 years. Now it’s coming to life in the Digital Immersion Gallery, where you can be fully immersed in the story and the famous great green room with an interactive pixel playground.

Backyard Wilderness: What will you find, right under your nose, in your backyard? The new show in the Infinity Dome, Backyard Wilderness, will entertain you with the unexpected wonders in our own backyards. You’ll see unique wildlife images and behaviours, all captured on camera around an average suburban home.

But that’s not all! Take in holiday-infused science experiments, brave the weather to play in the Brainasium, explore hands-on science, sweet treats, and savoury eats as guests peruse the beautiful holiday experiences and decor. Plus, don’t forget to stop by the Spark Store for the perfect science-inspired gift before you leave. You can register your licence plate for 45 minutes of FREE parking to get your shopping done!

Don’t let the cold weather freeze over your holiday spirit: turn up the heat with Merry and Matter at TELUS Spark this holiday season! Soak in the science of the holidays as you enjoy a warm day of seasonal memories with your family.
