Science World presents T. rex: The Ultimate Predator, presented by RBC and White Spot Restaurants, on display at Science World from February 26, 2022 until January, 22 2023.

This exciting exhibition will introduce you to the entire tyrannosaur family, revealing the amazing story of the most iconic dinosaur in the world through life-sized models, fossil casts, and engaging interactives. From fluffy hatchling to massive killing machine this special exhibition explores the life history, remarkable abilities, and ancient relatives of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Visitors to T. rex: The Ultimate Predator will encounter a massive life-sized model of a T. rex with patches of feathers—the definitive representation of this prehistoric predator. The exhibition will also include reconstructions of a T. rex hatchling and a four-year-old juvenile T. rex; a “roar mixer” where visitors can imagine what T. rex may have sounded like by blending sounds from other animals; a shadow theater featuring a floor projection of an adult T. rex skeleton coming to life; and a life-sized animation of T. rex in a Cretaceous environment that responds to visitors’ movements.

TGIF – Thank Granville It’s Food trucks – is a curated collection of Vancouver’s finest food trucks organized by The South Granville Business Improvement Association (SGBIA). Nestled beside a charming little park with lots of benches and green space for socially distant picnics, the TGIF pod is close to transit, ample street parking, and steps away from great shopping and restaurants in South Granville.

The coolest pop-up food truck pod in town will come back soon, and it’s going to be better than ever! This year, TGIF will give Vancity foodies even more days to celebrate the local food truck scene!

Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11am – 8pm PT, from June to September, a rotating lineup of food trucks will be open for business along West 10th Avenue by Fir Street in the South Granville neighbourhood.

THE DETAILS

Where: West 10th Avenue and Fir Street

FlyOver Canada has announced a new ride experience premiering in Vancouver: “Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies.” Featuring epic footage captured in the most remote areas of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the multi-sensory experience is anticipated to be featured in all FlyOver locations – Vancouver, BC; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Reykjavik, Iceland.

Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies makes its global debut in Vancouver this summer, treating guests to a spectacular journey through snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes and picturesque valleys. Filmed by FlyOver Attraction’s Creative Directors Dave Mossop and Rick Rothschild, the experience captures the magic and power of the Rockies’ remote mountains and dramatic vistas, inspiring guests to build a deep connection with the land, culture, and spirit of one of Canada’s most iconic natural wonders. Immersive and filled with multi-sensory adventure, Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies spotlights areas that are unreachable to trekkers, providing a rare glimpse into the most isolated and untouched areas of the mountain range.

Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies was filmed on the traditional territories of the Nakoda, Blackfoot, Tsuut’ina and K’tunaxa Nations, who have been stewards of these mountains since time immemorial. The flight ride includes an important Indigenous perspective of the mountain range, which local Nations revere as “The Backbone of the World.” Through collaboration and involvement from the Indigenous community, Windborne: Call of the Canadian Rockies weaves together the rich cultures and landscapes of the Canadian Rockies.
