You’ve seen sad clowns, terrifying clowns, and vaguely depressing birthday party clowns, but you really haven’t lived until you’ve seen science clowns (no, we’re not talking about Bill Nye). Calgary, it’s time for Telus Spark’s Circus.

From the smell of sweet cotton candy to the talented sideshow performers, this show has it all. Get ready to discover the scientific secrets behind sword swallowing, acrobatics, magic, and more.

20+ exhibits means 20+ opportunities to learn something new, including how to dominate on the High Wire (an extremely useful skill for day-to-day life). You can also become an aerialist and train fleas to jump through hoops, which is pretty ideal if you ask us.

Pick up some new fun facts at the Animal Communication booth, the Silhouette Projection stage and the Human Cannonball area. Just avoid actually becoming a Human Cannonball, ’cause we hear that’s a rough rep to come back from.

We’ll catch you under the big top, Calgary!
