Theater Description:

On July 1, 1984, the doors opened on a new universe of space and science education and entertainment. As one of Northern Alberta's premiere attractions, it has thrilled, entertained and educated nearly 0.5 million visitors each year.

This interesting and unique 57,000 sq. ft. facility was designed by the renowned Douglas J. Cardinal, known for his striking and innovative buildings.

In 1980, the City of Edmonton selected the Edmonton Space & Science Centre as the City's flagship project commemorating the Province of Alberta's 75th Anniversary. The design of this unique Centre is an art form that required the most advanced computer aided design tools.

As a blending of art and science, it conveys a place of occasion, discovery, and surprise. Its spiral, unfolding form reflects the human spirit, symbolizing our triumphs and achievements. Rising like a space object, dynamic, vibrant, fluid and graceful, the Centre teases our imagination out of the landscape and into the reality, vastness and fantasy of space. The building is situated in Coronation Park.
