Oil Sands Discovery Centre

Oil Sands Discovery Centre is at 515 MacKenzie Blvd. Exhibits relate the geology, history and technology of Alberta's Athabasca oil sands, said to be the world's single largest oil deposit. Oil sands extraction methods, history, science and technology, and new methods of exploration are explained through interpretive displays and films and interactive demonstrations. Outdoor exhibits include retired mining machines, research equipment and one of the largest land-based artifacts in Canada, a seven-story bucket-wheel excavator.
