We stopped in Sudbury to see this 13,000kg coin replica of the 1951 5-cent coin. It was hard to imagine that 15,000 years ago a sheet of ice more than a kilometre thick covered this Dynamic Earth site

My family loved the hands-on activities and exhibits. There is so much to do, we quickly realized Science North is a place you need to visit at least a few times to see everything! We will be back!

This place was really cool for rock nerds like our family. And the Big Nickel is really cool. My daughter loved the outdoor play area, and to be honest so did we. The mine tour was fun!

My family has been going to Science North since 1986. It’s something we always look forward to. Now as parents, my siblings and I take our own children and grandchildren. We always have fun!

We spent over 6 hours here. There is so much to do and learn from. We liked the different films and the hands on exhibits. We enjoyed the underground tour of the mine, it is well worth visiting!
