What you’ll experience:

Step into a night of cold case, investigation, and discovery. Immerse in forensic activities and exhibits, get hands on with crime scene games, meet members of the Calgary Police Crime Scene Unit, experience Forensic VR, or set your drink down to get hands-on and pilot tactical robotics. With activities happening all night long, there’s always something new to uncover.
