For a fun and educational experience, head to Johnson Geo Centre, a science and geology museum on Signal Hill. Overlooking St. John's, most of the museum building actually sits underground, with walls of exposed hill rock adding to the atmosphere. See a wide range of minerals, rocks, and fossils, admire the massive solar system replica, watch a 3D movie about the earth, or view the exhibits about the Titanic tragedy. Among the many interactive and interesting displays, you can learn about Canada's nature, history, and space exploration efforts. Make Johnson Geo Centre a part of your St. John's vacation plans using our St. John's day trip planning website.

Interesting place, definitely worth a visit. I'd say try to go before walking around signal Hill or doing the trails, it gives you background knowledge for what you'll see! The presentation was very cool, though be prepared for the waterfall!! You don't get wet, but I was seriously concerned that a pipe had burst! Informative and easy to navigate. We didn't walk through the outdoor area due to weather, but I wish we would have.
