Underground Tour
Journey seven storeys below Earth’s surface! As you are lowered into the dramatic Inco Chasm. You’ll be amazed by a state-of-the-art multimedia show projected on the rock walls and moving screens. A simulated dynamite blast, and the chance to get up-close to real mining equipment, make this tour a one-of-a-kind experience!
Strange Matter
A special exhibition in the MacLean Engineering Gallery
Discover the secrets of everyday stuff with the new exhibition Strange Matter! From metals and crystals to magnets and glass, this handson exhibition will allow you to use science to explore the bizarre world of modern materials. The exhibit captures advanced materials used in high-tech fields such as the space program and cardiac surgery, and reveals them in more common places, like the shoes that you wear, the dishes you eat off of, the CDs you listen to and the bike or skateboard you ride.
Mining Command Centre
Try your hand at the big machines!
Manipulate a remote-controlled rock breaker in Dynamic Earth’s underground mine or try out the new Caterpillar excavator simulator! You can also track the movements of visitors underground using the newly installed HLS (Hard-Line Solutions Inc.) digital communication system.
