There is so much to see at the johnson GEO CENTRE! Wrapped around a central theme of presenting Newfoundland and Labrador as Earth’s geological showcase, our displays and exhibits take you on a journey that makes learning fun…
GEO Theatre: See Our Amazing Earth as “geologist” Gordon Pinsent takes you through earthquakes, waterfalls, rain and volcanoes. Four billion years, packed into 16 minutes!
Our Planet: How was the Earth formed? What causes volcanoes and earthquakes? Find out about the world of rocks, minerals, fossils, and geological time. See the Earth as you have never seen it before!
Our Province: Discover why Newfoundland and Labrador is considered “Earth’s Geological Showcase.” How does the province show the world what happened hundreds of millions of years ago? Touch rocks that are nearly 4 billion years old, and see a piece of the ancient ocean floor.
Mistaken Point: Get up close and personal with the remnants of these facinating animals and see what they can tell you about life millions of years ago.
Our People: Where did humans come from? What makes humans special amongst all the creatures of the planet? What caused humans to move around the globe? Understand our dependence on natural resources, and how the never-ending search for resources influences our lives.
Our Future: Everything on Earth is subject to natural changes and the influences of human activity. Are all our choices good? Does our future lie beyond the Solar System?
The Titanic Story: The Titanic Story offers a complete account of the greatest peacetime tragedy of the 20th century. Over 1,500 lives were lost, just 560 km (350 miles) off the coast of Newfoundland. Learn the many causes of this world-famous disaster in the truly astonishing Titanic Story.
ExxonMobil Oil and Gas Gallery: The ExxonMobil Oil & Gas Gallery will transport you to the deck of a drilling and production platform! Everything from a discovery-well drill bit to 3D computer and scale models await you. Come on in and Fuel Your Curiosity!
KIDZone: Our KIDZone is a fully-equipped activity room for younger kids to have fun. If you’re visiting the GEO CENTRE with toddlers, the KIDZone can give you time to explore while your little ones “rock out!”
