Bring a packed lunch and your strongest sunscreen.
And on the subject of space, I'm excited to say that there will be a live space themed illusionist performance on the 18 April in the planetarium at the HR McMillan Space center in Vancouver, BC.
Have wanted to do a show in a planetarium for so long and your ticket includes not just a delightful dose of celestial illusionist as you watch nebulae swirling over your head, but also a talk by astronomer Marlee Lacock about space words such as spaghettification.
And you get to see all of the space centres, exhibits and science demonstrations.
Tickets are on sale now.
