The Edmonton branch of the TELUS World of Science museums stands out for its planetarium, which is among the largest in Canada. Edmonton’s sky displays create engaging shows with sound and color.

In the museum’s Health section, colorful carnival-like exhibits, including the kid-favorite Gallery of the Gross!, explain how the human body works. Gallery of the Gross! talks about all those bodily functions that are sure to elicit giggles. Kids ages 2 through 8 get hands-on in Discoveryland, where kids can float boats, build structures and try puzzles. At the Robotics Lab, grade-schoolers work with Lego robots during 45-minute sessions (available weekends and holidays).
