Learning Center

Learning Center: Learning Center, Ed Materials, Ed Programs, Merit Badge Program

Adjacent to the main museum, our Learning Center houses an outstanding collection of rocks, minerals, and fossils from around the world.

Travel back in time, learn about the different organisms that thrived during specific time intervals, and ponder what conditions were like throughout the history of life.

Start your journey in the Pre-Cambrian and finish in the Pleistocene Ice Age!
The fossils are arranged to depict life through time.

Be sure to check out the story behind the whale that is housed in The Learning Center.
It was "A Whale of a Challenge" for sure!

Through the generous donations of individuals, our mineral collection offers a glimpse into Earth's geologic history.

The Learning Center also has space for group meetings, projects, and events.
This area also offers a place for visitors to sit, relax and watch various video programs.

From the fossil and mineral displays to videos on mining operations at Nutrien to rotating educational and scientific programs, you're sure to leave The Learning Center a little more knowledgeable than when you arrived!
