Science World's iconic geodesic dome is perched at the end of False Creek, an easily recognizable landmark that's a favourite of locals and visitors alike. And its exhibits, live shows, feature exhibitions and Omnimax theatre — the biggest dome theatre in the world — are just as iconic.
Science World opened on Granville Street in 1982 and moved to its current location in 1989. The building was renamed the TELUS World of Science in 2005 and in 2012 the outdoor Ken Spencer Science Park opened. The park, which is open from March to October, connects visitors with the local environment, offering them the chance to “learn about urban agriculture in a hands-on way. We have chickens and we have green boxes where we experiment with plants that grow well together,” explains Andre Coronado, Science World's Digital Communications Coordinator.
