Telus World of Science

When we first arrived we attended a little demonstration on static electricity and since I was the only one with long blond hair, I ended up being one of the demonstrators.

 After learning about static electricity we went straight to the Lego display since it was the main reason we visited. This display is only on for a few more days.

The theme of the Lego display was transportation. There were boats, trains, planes, bridges, roads, cities, and anything else you could think of.

This was a city built from Legos. They had two displays from past contests as well. In this room there were buildings that people built and just outside of the main room were all kinds of vehicles that people made for the other contest that they had.

In open areas of the building there were all kinds of things to play with and puzzles to figure out. This is a pipe drum, demonstrating how sound changes with the different lengths of pipes.

This is a machine that changes your voice to sound like an alien.

There is a whole display on the human body. This is the very first thing you see. Most kids like to climb on the tongue just like Zoe is here. In this room there are all kinds of interactive displays to learn all about the human body. After this section we went to a display on the environment. We didn't look at everything there so we'll visit that section more intensely on our next visit.

This is in the Space section. We went through this section fairly quickly. On our next visit we'll have to spend more time.

There was a fun room for children to play more creatively. Here is Austyn playing with the large piano. He is running across it and experimenting with different sound settings.

Here Zoe is playing with the puppet theatre. 

We finished off with building this house and a large Lego person.
