35 years of innovation
Join the Sask Science Centre in celebrating its birthday!
The Saskatchewan Science Centre has long been a hub of exploration and innovation for travelling around the province of Saskatchewan without leaving Regina. It is a significant cultural and educational institution contributing to the region’s rich history by promoting science and innovation.
Over the years, it has evolved to offer a wide range of activities, events, and become an experience that is enjoyed by all ages. This year it is completing 35 years since first opening its gate to its customers in 1989.
For the occasion, it is hosting a special event called “Eras of Inspiration” presented by Accenture.
It is a unique fundraising experience for “their closest friends and fans, allowing everyone the chance to reflect back on [their] past and celebrate the future of Saskatchewan Science Centre,” according to their event webpage. Their amazing milestone was celebrated Sept 20 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with tickets starting at $175.
As the name suggest, the event featured unique tastes from local food and beverage partners. It was a night to enjoy high-energy networking, mingling with industry leaders, and meet food lovers relishing over Sask-based beverage and food that sweeps you off your feet.
With a focus on increasing awareness of science and technology, this fundraising experience allowed everyone a chance to reflect on the innovation so far while supporting their STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) initiative. It is more than just a dinner party – it’s an interactive and immersive journey where science meets cooking.
Attendees would get a chance to step into the world where culinary creations overpower expectations, presenting dishes that one can only imagine in their dreams. This night is, in a way, a reflection of what the Science Centre truly believes in – community – and at the same time supporting all that they have done in the past years and how far they have come.
The Saskatchewan Science Centre has grown into one of Saskatchewan’s largest family tourist attractions. It has undergone significant changes and expansions since its opening in 1989. It added the Kramer IMAX Theatre, which was later upgraded to IMAX 3D in 2010.
Regina’s IMAX was one of 30 theatres in the world showing the Oppenheimer movie. People from all across North America were fighting for a ticket as no one had ever imagined Regina being a global spot for a movie. Still, with avenues like the IMAX – there is always room for surprise.
In a recent conversation with Tenielle Bogdan, Director of Development and Stewardship, the Carillon learned that the Saskatchewan Science Centre continues to ignite scientific curiosity, travel around the province to schools, and do its best to make itself accessible to everyone. She also mentioned that the Fantasy Food experience is their largest fundraiser that engages and supports many initiatives with which the centre has been involved.
From the centre’s interactive exhibits exploring space, technology, and the environment to special programs like stargazing nights and coding workshops, the Science Centre offers something for everyone out there. Taking bold steps to modernize, the Saskatchewan Science Centre has gone above and beyond to celebrate science and technology.
Known as one of the city’s beloved cultural landmarks, it has now become an indispensable part of the community. If someone is looking to quench their thirst for curiosity and have fun doing that, the Saskatchewan Science Centre is the place to be.
