These rocks can talk…if you listen carefully! At the Johnson GEO CENTRE, visitors can travel from the depth of the earth's core to the far reaches of the solar system without ever leaving the comfortable confines of this underground attraction.
Located on world-famous Signal Hill, the building is one of the most unique in the province. Unleash your excitement in our reception hall as you descend through our illuminated, full colour solar system. The glass-encompassed entrance structure is one of the few sections that are above ground. This magnificent 33,600 square foot facility is mostly underground and the 550 million-year-old exposed rock serves as the external walls for its exhibits. Take a ride on the glass elevator and discover the wonders of our universe.
Learn why Newfoundland and Labrador is celebrated as Earth's Geological Showcase at the Johnson GEO CENTRE. Investigate the history of our planets unnerving torrential rainstorms, earthquakes and volcanoes. Continue through the exhibits and learn more about Our Planet, Our Province, Our People, and Our Future.
Next, uncover the story of the Titanic and travel 300 kilometers off our coast to drill for oil in the ExxonMobil Oil & Gas Gallery. Don't forget to check out the NASA pictures including galaxies, distant stars and nebulae.
Whether you are engaged in our presentations on Mars, icebergs and tsunamis, or scavenging the wonders of GEO GIFTS, you're sure to leave the Johnson GEO CENTRE with an "out of this world" experience.
