A Mind-Blowing Exploration of Gastronomy & the Cultural Impact of Food! 

Pull up a chair—TELUS Spark proudly presents Banquet! An immersive exhibition that serves up the science and joy of food through sight, smell, taste, touch, and sound. From the chemistry of cooking to the cultural traditions that shape how we eat, Banquet blends science with art, history, and society, making every bite an experience worth savouring.

Designed to be both gourmet and festive, this multi-sensory journey invites guests of all ages to discover the magic behind every meal. Eating isn’t just about taste—it’s about seeing, smelling, feeling, and even hearing. Whether you're a foodie, a science lover, or just someone who enjoys a good meal, Banquet is a celebration of the universal joy that food brings to our lives.
