If you're a fan of the Avengers movies and are looking for a fun and interactive experience for the whole family, you'll be excited to hear that the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N is coming to Metro Vancouver! This exhibit is not your typical display of costumes and props. The Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N is a chance to play around with some cool gadgets and even participate in simulations to test your skills. You can fly like Iron Man, try lifting Thor's hammer, or see if you can solve problems like Bruce Banner. It's not just a fun day out, but it's also a chance to learn about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in a fun and engaging way. Plus, you can learn about the history of the Avengers and their impact on pop culture. You'll also get an inside look at how the movies were made!
Beyond Van Gogh Surrey: The Immersive Experience
When: February 1 - March 9
Where: Agriplex at Cloverdale Fairgrounds
Immerse yourself in the world of Vincent Van Gogh like you've never experienced before. Beyond Van Gogh is a rich and unique multimedia experience, taking the viewer on a journey through over 300 iconic artworks including instantly-recognizable classics "The Starry Night", "Sunflowers", and "Café Terrace at Night", now freed from their frames. Set to a symphonic score and using the artist's own dreams, thoughts, and words to drive the experience as a narrative, Van Gogh's art comes to life by appearing and disappearing, flowing across multiple surfaces and heightening the senses with their immense detail. Guests will leave with a new appreciation of this prolific artist's stunning work.
