The Rothney Astrophysical Observatory is an equally attractive place for family holidays. It is not just an ordinary planetarium like thousands of others, but a real educational center which will be equally interesting for both children and adults. Here visitors can see a lot of observation platforms with fixed telescopes. Every day, fascinating lectures are conducted for them, and films broadcasted in a modern cinema. Special cultural programs are compiled in the planetarium for children.
With older children, one can also look into the TELUS Spark scientific museum, whose exposition and excursions are entirely devoted to the development of science and technology. Here visitors are invited to take part in interesting experiments. They will be able to learn about the most amazing optical and gravitational laws, as well as study maps of the starry sky, and learn how to build solid wooden towers several meters high, from wooden plates. In this museum, suitable entertainment will be found not only for kids, but also for adults. After the tour, it will be pleasant to relax on the adjacent territory of the museum, where a beautiful playground is equipped for children. Travelers with children can successfully combine active entertainment with cultural activities in Calgary.
