The Telus World of Science Edmonton (TWOSE) will be closed until at least November due to significant flood damage caused by recent severe weather.

A notice on the TWOSE website said that current assessments indicate that restoration and recovery work could take months to complete.

“This is a planning estimate, not a confirmed reopening date,” said the notice. “We continue to explore opportunities for safe and partial reopening earlier in the fall.”

Refunds for camps, tickets, IMAX experiences, booking and events scheduled up to and including Sept. 30 are being processed automatically. TWOSE advises that it could take up to two weeks for processing due to the volume of affected bookings.

The facility closed Friday evening after a storm caused flooding during operating hours, prompting the evacuation of patrons and staff.

Nearby pool also closed

The nearby Peter Hemingway Aquatic Centre is also closed due to substantial flooding and a power outage following excessive rain.

A facility notification says the centre will be closed until July 25.

The neighbouring Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre is open with the exception of the running track.
