| Dynamic Earth |
 This interactive earth sciences centre will take you on an unforgettable journey to the depths of the earth. Board a glass-enclosed elevator and descend seven-storeys into a rock chasm while viewing a state-of-the-art multimedia show.
Above and below ground, visitors can explore galleries and exhibits dedicated to the transformation of mining over the past century, evidence of the massive meteorite impact that created the Sudbury Basin nearly two billion years ago, and the events that shaped Sudbury's 120-year history. The Big Nickel Of course, no visit to Sudbury would be complete without the opportunity to take your picture next to the world's biggest "chunk of change" - the nine-metre tall Big Nickel. This Canadian symbol was recently refurbished and returned to its historical location at Dynamic Earth and is a now a landmark along the TransCanada Highway.
