The Purple Galaxy Pass: One Small Step for a Kid, One Giant Leap for Curiosity
Free One-Year Pass to TELUS Spark for Grade 7 Students
What if one pass could spark a lifelong love of science?
The Purple Galaxy Pass, made possible by TELUS and TELUS Spark Science Centre, gives every Grade 7 student in Calgary and surrounding communities a full year of free admission to one of the city's most exciting attractions. Eligible students include those attending schools in Rocky View Schools, the Calgary Catholic School District, and the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, Tsuut'ina, and Stoney Nakoda Nations.
The best part? It's completely free.
From August 1, 2026, to August 1, 2027, passholders can visit as often as they like, exploring interactive exhibits, catching immersive Infinity Dome films, watching live science demonstrations, and getting hands-on in popular spaces like Brainasium and Steven's Lab. Each month also includes access to a discounted buddy pass, making it easy to bring along a friend or family member.
Grade 7 is a time when many kids are discovering new interests and beginning to imagine what their future could look like. The Purple Galaxy Pass encourages them to explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and math through experiences that are engaging, interactive, and anything but ordinary. Whether they're designing, experimenting, building, or simply asking "what happens if...," every visit offers something new to discover.
Getting started is simple. Beginning August 1, families can register online and then visit TELUS Spark to pick up their Purple Galaxy Pass. Once activated, students can enjoy unlimited general admission for an entire year.
Whether your child dreams of becoming an engineer, loves to build and create, or just enjoys a fun day out, the Purple Galaxy Pass is an incredible opportunity to keep curiosity growing long after the school bell rings.
