Oil Sands Discovery Centre

Oil Sands Discovery Centre in Fort McMurray offers an educational look at the Athabasca Oil Sands so visitors can better understand this massive resource. Inside the centre, guests explore exhibits that share the history, science and technology behind oil sands development. Displays highlight how this single, vast deposit has shaped the region and continues to influence life in northern Alberta. The experience is designed to be as close as visitors can get to the oil sands without needing boots and a hard hat, making it an accessible way to learn about an industry that is usually out of reach for the public.
