Went in November, completely off season. Stefan, staff member, gave us a personal tour which was great and truly informative. Great value for the cost and my son couldn't stop talking about what he learned.m

Went there cause read it had a lot of stuff about Titanic. I am a huge titanic buff. Pretty cool museum but the titanic part was a bit let down for me. Lots of information though but nothing impressive.

Marcus Quinlan

$30 for two people to look at rocks. You would get more enjoyment from throwing your money into a fountain.

Peter Keddy

Exhibits are new and interesting. I particularly liked the Titanic and space exhibits. Every corner of the building has things to read/view. Also offers guided tours in sections.

Richard Forster

The movies, displays and the geological history are a treat. Allow 2-3 hours to experience it all. The café has great sandwiches too!

Anthony Stewart

Doug Crummey

Fascinating geological history and great activities for younger children (book ahead due to COVID)

Victoria Whalen

A wonderful walkthrough and very informative. Have been multiple times as they update exhibitions.

Caroline Kennedy

I have visited here almost every year since it was constructed. It is a gift to the City of St. John's from the Johnson family, an educational and inspiring way to repay the city that provided them their fortune. Adults and children of all ages love it. It is humbling to be walking among rocks that are over 625 million years old. Everything is illustrated and explained in ways that are easy for all to understand even know even if your interest is not geology.

There's gold in that Signal Hill. The Geo Centre (Now part of Memorial University of Newfoundland) is a really great place to take children. The only complaint I have is that I was a Geo member for a year and visited many times in the year and NONE of the broken exhibits have been repaired. Ive been back a few weeks ago and STILL there is Broken exhibits.

Danny Hutchings

This is place where you be 30 years old or more and still feel like a kid. There is so much stuff to see and that staff or very knowledgeable about the environment that they work it.

Jim Bo

Inside and out this place is beautiful to visit.

Derrick Law

Varied and interesting displays in a great, underground building. Schedule at least a couple hours.

Theresa Butler

Myself and my mother in-law stopped here for a tea. She was celebrating her 95th birthday and they treated her like royalty. The best staff ever . Really made her day.

Raymond Lai

A good place to visit if it's a rainy day outside. The exposed underground rock faces are pretty interesting to see. Those looking for a purely science centre experience will be somewhat disappointed. The Geo Centre nails the natural history exhibit, with a large section dedicated to learning about the composition of the earth underneath Newfoundland. However, the oil exhibit sponsored by ExxonMobil seems forced and biased. The Titanic exhibit is interested and very through, but the constant truth reminders in the exhibit signs show level of unexplained bias. We spent a half a day there and came out with mixed feelings. We felt educated from the natural sciences point of view, then we were hit with oil and gas propaganda, followed by a pretty somber walkthrough of the Titanic's final moments.

Logan Edwards

The place to be if geology tickles your fancy. Lots of rocks, minerals, crystals and fossils you can buy from the area.

We love going to the GEO Centre as a family. Our 6 year old says it's one of her favourite places to visit in St. John's. They regularly plan fun events for all ages. Highly recommend!

Aurora Smith

My kids loved this place. I enjoyed the Titanic exhibit and the star gazing classes given by a knowledgeable young University student. A great addition to a trip up signal Hill. Be sure to check out all of the hiking trails outside of the building as well.

Nice place to spend an afternoon. Great exhibits, there’s something for everyone. The Titanic exhibit is very thorough and I learned a lot I didn’t know about its story. The geological history of the area is also fascinating.

Tonnes and tonnes of information, hands on exhibits, interactive, kids also had a really fun time here. If you have a few hours free you could definatly spend a good amount of time reading all the facts and artifacts. Dont know why other reviewers saying it was expensive? It was super cheap ($35 taxes in) for a family of 5.....where elae can you go somewhere like that for $35? Overall great place to visit!

Tyler Temple

Mun students get in free!

Donna Shen

Geo Centre is good for elementary school children up to gr. 6. The only adult sections would be the presentation of how Newfoudland was created and the full story of the Titanic and who really is to blame for it's tragic ending. It was not an iceberg as is popular belief

I didn't intend to post an empty rating of 1 star and have no feedback on it. It's not fair at all. Apparently, my previous review didn't get posted here, so I'll try to repost it. I had enjoyed the events we had at Johnson GEO Center previously except for this last time (around a month ago). I was the host at an event held there and I had a co-host with me and based on the contract we were sure that we would have two wireless microphones to perform and we planned all the performance of the night based on that term on the contract. When we got there, we found out that there is only one!! wireless mic available and that there might be a wired one (but the staffs were not sure about that at the time which caused a lot of unnecessary stress to us). When I politely asked how come there is just one wireless mic and not two? One of the staffs responded franticly that one of the previous guests broke the other one. I said what should we do now, as we had planned everything on the sole fact that there will be two wireless microphones. He replied really impolitely: "You said that once before! There's nothing I can do. Here's the wireless mic and there's the wired one, and that's it!" Dear Staff! It's not my problem that you didn't hold up your end of the bargain! It was your responsibility to provide what you had promised on the contract to your customer. It is the worst kind of customer service to respond aggressively to a very sane argument. If you know your service lacks the expected quality, at least try to be more well-behaved!

Some staff are rude, others great, nice venue for events but the GeoCentre sign stays on in the main event area so kind of takes away the mood of why you are there

Phil Rendell

Awesome spot to visit if you're in st. John's. Very friendly staff who are very knowledgable about the various exhibits. Great spot to bring kids but is enjoyed by all ages. Side note: MUN students get in free of charge, so bring your student ID.

A travel through time.

Lots of cool things to see and do! Love this place. Informative staff and nice gift shop if looking for something different for a souvenir.

Patrick Martin

This is an amazing location to visit and one of the least celebrated places in the city. I have been there many times for weddings, business meetings, luncheons, AGMs, tours, presentations, birthday parties, galas, launch parties and many other types of events. This is such a wonderful place to have a different event than most places and a wonderful place for everyone to find out more about everything the centre can provide.

Jimmy yediaz

Really well done. Lots of great displays and really interesting information.

Mathieu Bertrand

Connor McBrine-Ellis

This uniquely situated science centre presents exhibits that highlight the history of Newfoundland, its geology, and features an indoor "rock wall" that is part of the building (the building is on top of Signal Hill, so they built it to expose the wall as part of the exhibit). It had a cool section on the Titanic but you could probably complete the whole thing in a couple hours and not want to go back. However, the 5 dollar movies did seem like a nice offering if I decided to revisit in the future.

Brian Burton

There was a good display about the Titanic and this was alone worth seeing

Karen MacEwan

Very interesting. The Titanic exhibit is very thorough. A great way to spend the day when it's increment weather outdoors.

Good little museum, bit corporate in places, coming from the UK it's always a surprise to be paying for entry to museums. $27.60 for 2 was a bit steep.

Well done for all ages. The website felt like the exhibits would be made for kids, but the gallery incorporated visual aids, educational plaques, and interesting interactive activities. My geologist sister thoroughly enjoyed showing me the rock samples. As a novice, I learned and understood the history of rocks and the geologic features that make Newfoundland so unique.

Johnattan Vallejo

Sebastian Kluth

Johnson Geo Centre is a magnificent place where you can learn more about the geological, historical and social origins of the region. Guided tours are very passionate, in particular the one about the Titanic. I assisted a conference about the creation of icebergs which was also very interesting. Staff is very intellectual and professional. The greatest thing about this centre is that it's located under the old rocks of Signal Hill which you can observe and touch. If you visit St. John's for the first time, visiting this centre should be right on the top of your list.

Stacey Evans-Warder

Interesting exhibit for older kids and they have a seperate play area for younger children. The theatre shows current movies even some in 3D. The gift shop and a wide variety of educational toys, jewelry, and crafts. It's a nice stop while you're in the area.

Jennifer Williams

Great venue for events (like weddings band receptions). Interesting place to visit to view displays & featured films.

Diyyinah Jamora

This wasn't spectacular of a museum, but a good way to spend a rainy afternoon if you're looking for an indoor activity in St. John's. The graphic design for the posters were quite old school, and the majority of it was posters. The most interesting interactive portion was jumping on a little platform to make an earthquake. They had a section about the ocean, the earth (including rocks, planets, migration of humans), the Titanic, oil (sponsored by the oil industry and ending with career prospects/possibilities/food for thought), and a kids section. There is also a theatre that plays an introductory movie. It also has exposed rock from Signal Hill and you could spray it with water. Their gift shop sold cute earrings. I wouldn't come back for the museum, but I would come back for the gift shop. I'd say my visit lasted just over one hour.

Norman Potter

Cool exhibits, good for all ages. MUN students get free admission.

Nice. I touched a rock with 3 billions of years. I liked it mainly the planets, but I am Brazilian and I know have a Portuguese name there that is wrong

Nestled beneath the rock of historic Signal Hill this centre offers a unique view in its underground foyer. With a gift shop, revolving exhibits and at times hand on workshops the Johnson Geo Centre is a draw for locals and come from aways.

André den Breejen

(Translated) Nice place, well worth a visit. Especially that piece about the Titanic, Never knew the Titanic sank close to New Foundland. (Original) Leuke plaats, zeker het bezoeken waard. Vooral dat stukje over de Titanic, Nooit geweten dat de Titanic vlak bij New Foundland gezonken was.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The exhibits were amazing, we learned so much!! A must see!

Dana Bowie

Victoria Arnott

The tours and displays were amazing. I highly recommend this place regardless of your age.

Lester Jacobs

I liked the fact that the GEO centre is built into Signal Hill. The walls are left bare so that you can see the granite that they are composed of. The displays are informative and well laid out. The one negative is that there are not a lot of activities for kids (not many interactive displays, etc). It is mostly a lot of reading which won't hold kids interest for too long. There is a play area but it is a generic play area and does not contain activities that fit the theme of the GEO centre; it more resembles a McDonalds play area.

Kenneth Green

Very beautiful building and so interesting but when I went only 1 exhibit was open.

TA Loeffler

A great place to go for a walk along the interpreted trails or get up close and personal with the the rocks of Signal Hill.

Gerard Nash (The Photo Mender)

Informative and entertaining. Good for all ages.

We spent about 4 hours here yesterday, and left only because they were closing. There is so much to see and learn! The Titanic exhibit was very thorough and interesting. Yes, one could read any number of books and gain the same knowledge, but the displays and models made it a much broader experience. There is even a room with iceberg “aquariums” that really put these big chunks of ice in perspective! We spent a lot of time, and read every board. If you don’t want to take that much time, the regularly scheduled staff tours are great, as the tour guide provides a summary of the story as you move through the exhibit. The many rocks on display are very interesting - IF you’re interested in how rocks are formed and seeing samples of each type. There are also exhibits about plate tectonics and the history of earth and life on earth that I found very fascinating. Then you move on to space exploration exhibits. This wasn’t very detailed, but it was nice to see the progression from billion year old rocks to space travel. My only disappointment was the lack of information/exhibits about the ocean floor. There was just a minor display, and considering Newfoundland is an island, AND the majority of Earth is water, I felt emphasis could have been expanded. There is a very small exhibit about sponges, however. If you want to understand the “how and where’s” of oil drilling, there is a very detailed exhibit to satisfy that curiosity. Overall, the Geo Centre is a well designed and fascinating place.

John Fleming

Uniquely educational.

Cake

My family and I had a decent time visiting the Johnson Geocenter. There is quite a bit of attractions here for the intellectually inclined. The only downside was the misleading children area which was limited to a small playground type area with limited activities, when on the website it was advertised to be "The Hibernia KidsPlace with no shortage of activities to keep your little ones laughing and learning". Great for older children with an interest in the subject matter, and adults. Young children will be difficult to entertain.

Elaine

This was more interesting than I expected. The wall of Rock that is an exposed wall of the center is what Signal Hill is made up of. There are many aspects of the geography displayed in extremely interesting ways. There are also solar system and space exhibits here. It is worth a visit. There are also walking trails of historic interest.

lonerwolf69

Lots of interesting things

Jeff Blackwood

Nice place to drive

Adam Keats

Interesting and educational for all ages. Lots of great souvenirs to be had. It's a great place to visit after checking out Signal Hill. You want to give yourself atleast 2 hours to check out all the exhibits and a few of the daily shows. Staff are very educated and can provide lots of tid bits and interesting facts. The Titanic exhibit, Oil and Gas exhibit and Rock Exhibits are personal favorites. Lots to learn and see.

Plenty of great information about geology, oil and Titanic. Be prepared to read a lot. The modern look of the exterior is not reflected indoors. There are some parts that could be refreshed. Many displays were not working when we were there. The exhibit made us discover Mistaken Point which was a real surprise in our trip.

Great place to go with your family. Lots of information to take in! And some very informative talks.

Craig Cook

We liked it. Initially got a family membership because it is good for other Canadian Science Centers at least 150 km away or something like that. We used the much cheaper family membership at Geo to get into the Toronto Aquarium for free. Family membership benefits were reduced over time and eventually there wasn't any motivation to maintain it. If we go to a member science center in the future though, that has higher admission rates than the year family membership at Geo, we will definitely do it again!

(Translated) “Small, hearty science museum” The geocentre is relatively small and mainly offers exhibits related to the region, which makes it legitimate despite its size. For us it was a very good alternative for a rainy day. The exhibition on the geology of the region and the Titanic exhibition were particularly exciting. (Original) “Kleines, herziges Wissenschaftsmuseum ” Das Geozentrum ist relativ klein und bietet vor allem Exponate mit Bezügen zur Region, womit es trotz seiner Grösse seine Berechtigung hat. Für uns war es eine sehr gute Alternative für einen regnerischen Tag. Besonders spannend war die Ausstellung zur Geologie der Region und die Titanic-Ausstellung.

Kim Porter

Interesting exhibits. Knowledgeable staff. Cost of treats in the cafe is pricey.

A fun and informative spot to visit! Some information is dated, but still worth the $12.00 per person for entry. Gaining access to the theatrical productions will cost an additional $3.00 per.

Great place to go on that rainy day with child interactive displays and informative short videos with experienced commentators who are eager to answer questions. Small snack bar on scene, clean washrooms and a unique gift shop for that souvenir hunter.

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.

A valiant triumph in explaining geology in a well conceived setting.

Jim Vickers

A perfect place to go on a rainy day. Lots of history about titanic and geology
