Big machines have officially arrived at Dynamic Earth! There's something new to discover before you even head underground. 🚜👷‍♀️

Next to the iconic Big Nickel, you can now get up close to real mining equipment showcasing the technology and innovation behind modern mining. Thanks to our partners at Epiroc and Komatsu, these impressive machines are now part of the Dynamic Earth experience.

The lineup will change throughout the season, so every visit could bring the chance to see a different piece of mining equipment.

After exploring the surface, continue underground on one of our guided mine tours, including the new Next-Generation Mine Tour, to discover how mining has evolved and where it's headed next.

You may leave looking at the everyday items a little differently.
