Oil Sands Discovery Centre | Oil Sands Discovery Centre

The Oil Sands Discovery Centre is currently limiting visitor numbers to 1/3 of fire code occupancy. Masking and physical distancing are mandatory.

We are working with Alberta Health to establish the best direction to take for the health and safety of our visitors and staff. This could involve implementation of the Restrictions Exemption Program in the near future. As soon as we have more information, it will be available on our website.

Visit the Oil Sands Discovery Centre in Fort McMurray and experience the history, science, and technology of the oil sands for yourself. It's the closest you can get without boots and a hard hat!
