There are more than 430,000 visitors annually, including over 82,000 students.[2] HistoryTelus Spark – Calgary originally opened as the Calgary Centennial Planetarium on July 1, 1967. In 1983 the Calgary Science Centre Society began a bid to bring a science centre to Calgary and in 1987 they received an operating agreement that would transform the planetarium into the Calgary Science Centre. The Calgary Science Centre was renamed Telus World of Science – Calgary after a $9 Million donation from Telus Corporation on April 27, 2005. The original site, located on 11 Street SW in Calgary's Downtown West End, closed on June 27, 2011, and was replaced by a new science centre called Telus Spark. The new science centre is located on a {{convert|15|acre|m2|adj=on}} site at 220 St. Georges Drive NE in Nose Creek Valley, north of the Calgary Zoo.
