Letter to the editor: Exploration Place membership pays off when travelling

My annual family membership for the Exploration Place meant that my family and I could save ourselves the $90 admission at the Telus Sparks Science Centre in Calgary.

Mr. PG has his own gallery exhibit at the Prince George icon within the newly-renovated walls of The Exploration Place.

I would like to send a bunch of roses to the Exploration Place for their reciprocal agreement program. My family and I went to the science centre in Calgary over the Christmas break and had a wonderful time. It need hardly be said that the Telus Sparks Science Centre was a beautiful facility with many interesting installations – but I will and did say it.

For me, as the parent, the most exciting part was that I did not have to pay a dime for it. My annual family membership for the Exploration Place meant that my family and I could save ourselves the $90 admission and spend hours (and hours, and hours) there, climbing the equipment (whether it was meant to be climbed or not), playing in the VR simulator, shooting ping pong balls though vacuum pipes, and watching their IMAX screen. This is not a new program - it's one I have accessed before for Spokane, Vancouver and Edmonton. Thanks for this program, Tracy and team!
