A warning to us would have been nice, so here is one to pass on.
Telus Spark Science Centre is a huge jip. Way overpriced, half the things don't work and the exhibit takes about three minutes to walk through. You will waste money, go somewhere else.
A warning from our brothers and sisters to the south would have been nice. :(

I've never been there, so I couldn't have warned you :D
I heard that the Zoo is worth the money.

Why is it anybody's fault other than your own, I ask?

With all the technology floating around, surely people can find reviews on just about anything. IMHO, nobody to blame but yourself and chalk it up to one of life's expensive experiences. But that is just my thoughts, I may way out to lunch....:)

I thought the same thing and we went when it was newly opened. Half the chit didn't work and they even charge you for parking in the 15 acre parking lot.

Sorry, I should have warned you. I was there last spring, parked in the gravel area to the south so I dint have to pay to park. Went in with the ex and the only thing we enjoyed was a live show about fire. Wasnt worth the admission.
