Yeah your absolutely correct about this, there just simply isn't a whole lot worth seeing at the CSC if your an adult. I also should mention that in terms of this fact, Vancouver's dwarfs Calgary's by quite a large margin, and that if you do go to Vancouver- its worth checking out. Lots of neat exhibits on display that would interest adults as well as children. And really there's no reason why that shouldn't be the case.
I remember a large discussion about this with my class and the representative in charge of marketing for the CSC. She was adamant that their target market was children- and don't get me wrong, it probably is. But that doesn't mean there shouldn't be ANYTHING of interest to adults.
It was interesting too- in that my group researched some exhibits the new science centre could include. There are tons out there, including sports specific exhibits like ones discussing/demonstrating the science involved with hockey.
