Calgary’s Brainasium Adds Kids Adventure Park

In Calgary, the Telus Spark science center has expanded its Brainasium, a one-acre outdoor adventure park for kids, with seven new features, among them a 35-foot-high rope tower climbing structure. Other Brainasium structures include a 90-foot long logjam, a set of giant molecule-shaped climbing blocks, a six-person teeter-totter and 60-foot tube slide (which provides one means of descent from the rope tower). The park obstacles challenge kids to explore physics and the workings of simple machines and “prime their brains for new learning opportunities,” according to the center’s website. Entry to the park is included with general admission to Telus Spark.
