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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
