Dynamic Earth has changed a LOT since I was last there.The big nickel is always magnificent to see and we had the added benefit of dinosaurs that were coming in for a display on loan from New Mexico!!!

Went here for the Pumpkinferno Halloween event. The creations were spectacular. I was also able to walk through a part of the museum and there were lots of specimens of rocks and gems on display. Overall it was a great experience and I'll be back for non-halloween reasons

We popped in here quickly on the way through, the facilities are closed but the gate was open I'm not a hundred percent sure if we were allowed to drive in but we followed a few people in, took out pictures and drove out. I definitely want to come back in the summer to see it again .

Wasn’t open so we’re weren’t able to tour but what we saw on the outside was creative and nice.

It is big and it's a nickel! Very cool spot. Very sure to check out the striated bedrock nearby! Great views from this location too

Wife was up that way for few days for work so I tagged along did but of sightseeing, as well as bit of driving checking out the nice windy roads in the area. The nickel was pretty interesting stop seeing how and what they mine, lots of great scenery on way to and from as well as the visitors center.

A solid place to take the kids for a day. We showed up in the rain, so we purchased tickets for the next day and came back in the morning. My son had a fun time on all the exabits, both indoors and outside. I enjoyed panning for gold and talking to the folks about minerals and the geologic history of the area. The history and emplaced mineralization are really interesting and fairly unique. We walked outside for a while taking about the Glacial striations and sediment deformation.

When in Sudbury you have to visit the Big Nickel. It is a pet friendly monument and one of the must visit places in Sudbury.

Went with my granddaughters jk class. The kids loved it, especially the outdoors play area. Just use caution because there are a few tripping hazards around the big molting pot as the ground is uneven, although there is a soft type walk area.
