We have an extraordinary scientific exhibit in store for you. But there’s more yet… the most captivating part of your visit is about to begin.

After your return aboveground, you can take a shuttle to the Xstrata Copper - Fonderie Gaspé. Here again, a guide will accompany you and explain the various stages involved in processing copper ore. Keep your eyes wide open on your way there; the scenery is vast and beautiful. |

In Murdochville, our future will just blow you away! We’ll take you to the foot of a wind turbine in Canada’s largest wind farm. You may even feel a bit ant-like as you stand next to one of the futuristic giants on Miller Mountain. |
