Alberta is investing $12 million in TELUS World of Science through the Aurora Project.
TELUS World of Science is the largest ticketed cultural attraction in northern Alberta and is second in the province behind the Calgary Zoo. The facility attracts an average of more than 400,000 visitors each year, including students, families and tourists, and is supported by more than 17,500 members of the science centre.
The Aurora Project will add nearly 20,000 square feet of space to the facility.
Zeidler Dome, a world-leading theatre experience with 10k resolution, and a new S.P.A.C.E. Gallery were added to TWOSE as part of the expansion.
Phase 3 of this ambitious expansion will see a new CuriousCity exhibit, which will allow visitors to explore the science and history of Edmonton, as well as the Arctic Gallery which is focused on Canada’s breathtaking northern environment and emergent issues like climate change.
“For more than three decades, the TELUS World of Science has guided children, families and adults alike on a journey of discovery. Our investment in the Aurora Project will help to challenge and inspire visitors and stimulate new ideas that have the power to transform our world.” Rachel Notley, Premier
Construction of the expansion began in October 2018. The overall cost of the expansion is $40 million with additional funds being provided by the City of Edmonton, the Government of Canada and donations to the TELUS World of Science.
