Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors

October 22–November 15, 2026. A FABULOUS FARCE, WITH FANGS. Everyone knows the story: a vampiric count, a kidnapped young lady, and a brave hero to save the day. But this time around, the hero’s a coward, the lady yearns for adventure, and the count is…a cake-baking dreamboat? This Dracu-larious adaptation of the gothic classic gleefully turns the tale on its head but never loses track of its heart—that’s where the stake goes, after all. Whether you’re an eternal vampire-lover or a fresh fan of fangs, you can definitely count on a scarily fun time.

Pay What You Can Sunday

At the Space Centre, we believe curiosity should never be limited by cost. That belief comes to life through Pay What You Can Sunday — a special monthly opportunity for visitors to experience space science in a way that feels accessible, welcoming, and inclusive. Whether you’re a first-time visitor, a returning space enthusiast, or a family planning a weekend outing, this day is designed to open our doors a little wider for the community. Pay What You Can Sunday is part of a shared community initiative across Vanier Park, taking place on the first Sunday of each month. Alongside the H.R.MacMillan Space Centre, visitors can also explore participating neighbours including the Vancouver Maritime Museum and the Museum of Vancouver, making it easy to turn one visit into a full day of discovery across science, history, and the ocean that connects us all.
