Dynamic Earth's main attraction is the underground tour with simulated dynamite blast. Visitors stand to learn lots about geology and our planet from thought-provoking interactive exhibits. In summer, tours leave roughly every 30 minutes from 10am to 3:30pm. Be sure to take a snap in front of the Big Nickel, a 9m-high stainless steel replica of a 1951 Canadian nickel.
