The Johnson GEO CENTRE In St. Johns Newfoundland
If your Canada travel plans include Newfoundland, then you simply must make time to visit the Johnson GEO CENTRE in St. Johns. This is a wonderful geological interpretation centre located on Signal Hill in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
A 12 million dollar structure that included four years of research, planning and designing to complete. The result is an amazing Centre, with most located underground in carefully excavated glacial formation that actually shows the exposed bedrock of the hill inside the structure.
A Geological Interpretation CENTRE & Much More
Besides depicting the incredible geology of Newfoundland and Labrador from millions of years ago, the Centre offers much more that the entire family will enjoy.
From strolling outside along the lovely interpretive trails surrounding the Centre, to exploring wonderful exhibits explaining the complete Titanic Story.
Your underground experience will guide you through the history of this Province, from its people, our planet, the future and even space exploration.
Its no wonder this is listed as one of the top attractions in Newfoundland not to be missed!
The Centre Offers 14 unique attractions for you to enjoy, including;
