Note: Because the Science World dome is being transformed into the FIFA World Cup 2026™ official match ball, we're currently unable to provide custom lighting. Any requests made for July 19 onwards will be considered but cannot be confirmed more than 30 days before the requested date. We apologize for any inconvenience and encourage you to connect again next year.
We're lighting up Vancouver's skyline once again!
Science World is illuminated each evening starting at dusk using 651 LED lights. Curious about today's lights? Check out the lights schedule!
We are pleased to offer events, charities and nonprofits the opportunity to build awareness for their cause or organization by illuminating Science World in colours themed to their cause.
