discovery pavilion

The Redpath Museum, the Municipality of Sherrington and the Club de Minéralogie de Montreal are teaming up with Parc Safari to present a new exhibition!

Only about fifty minerals were present when the Earth was formed. Over a few billion years, sedimentation, heat and telluric pressure have created nearly 5,000 more!

Discover them and the crucial role they play in the evolution of life on Earth at the Discovery Pavilion! The collection includes more than 600 minerals, 200 fossils, 100 insects and hundreds of samples of sand and seashells from around the world!

This exhibition aims to create a space of playful discoveries that will ignite an interest in science in the minds of children of all ages. Our passionate animators give presentations regularly during the day and can answer all of your questions.
