Designed to incorporate the surrounding terrain into its exhibit space, the Johnson GEO Center takes visitors beneath Signal Hill and into the 550-million-year-old rock bed. More than a dozen interactive exhibits describe the earth’s geologic and cultural history, and Newfoundland life.
One of these, the Amazing Earth Theatre, uses a variety of special effects to travel through time and space to the era when Earth was a molten mass. Other exhibits include those on the future of space, the Titanic, the Solar System, and a special area for younger children. This center has a lot of things to do for children of all ages.
