  • Opens October 11. Cities of the Future combines state-of-the-art CGI with live-action cinematography to take you 50 years into the future! Explore future smart cities designed to be totally sustainable and experience amazing innovations happening right now, all in IMAX 3D on Alberta’s largest screen! Don't miss the Opening Weekend Activities on October 12!

    Imagine the future - renewable energy is our primary power source. Space-based solar power provides energy 24 hours a day. Everything is recycled, smart buildings and greener infrastructure keep you cool, and you travel on aerial highways in individualized pods that run on little or no energy.

    This isn´t science fiction. Today’s engineers are already designing sustainable solutions like smart buildings and electric flying cars that will change the way we live forever!

    Cities of the Future also shows you how modern urban landscapes are transforming right now, revealing profound changes already happening in some of the world’s greatest cities, from Los Angeles to Amsterdam to Singapore.

    And — you'll meet a team of middle school students participating in the Future City Competition, an annual contest in which 60,000 middle school students from the U.S. and around the world compete to create a model future city.

    Narrated by award-winning actor John Krasinski, don't miss this opportunity to experience these exciting innovations forging a brighter, more sustainable future.

    Be inspired by engineering, science, and our human spirit – get your tickets today!

    And get ready for the future — combine with the Our Climate Quest Exhibition!

    Combo rates (including regular popcorn) are available.
