Johnson Geo Centre, St. John's
The Johnson Geo Centre, built in a natural rock basin originally filled with peat, is one of the most distinctive buildings in Newfoundland. The centre's main exhibits start off in a state-of-the-art theatre in which the film Our Amazing Earth takes visitors through the story of our planet and gives viewers a glimpse of the power of volcanoes, earthquakes and torrential rainstorms. The exhibits are divided into four sections: Our Planet, Our Province, Our People and Our Future.
Where to stay: Kids will love the 80-foot waterslide and indoor pool at the Super 8 Motel. Or you can have a spot of breakfast in the third-floor kitchen overlooking St. John's Harbour at the historic Roses Bed & Breakfast.
Cape Spear Drive, St. John's
