The world of nuclear energy is at your fingertips at the Bruce Power Visitors’ Centre. The centre offers entertaining and interactive exhibits, displays, films and presentations about energy, the history of nuclear power in Canada, wind energy, nuclear waste management and how electricity is produced in a CANDU nuclear generating station.

 Our presentations can be tailored to specific ages or groups and our friendly and knowledgeable staff are happy to answer any of your questions.

The grounds surrounding the Visitors’ Centre are great for enjoying a picnic lunch, recreational bike ride or a leisurely walk. Take in a great view of the five wind turbines that comprise Huron Wind, Ontario’s first commercial wind farm.

Summer and March Break programs

We have a number of fun and educational summer and March Break programs for children of different age groups. Currently, we offer Camp GEMS (Girls Engineering Math Science) Girls Science Camp, operated in cooperation with Women In Nuclear for girls from grades 4 – 7.

During March Break this year, we offered two-day camps. Day one is Science Fashionistas and Day two is Sticky Science. Please contact us for information about all of our programs.

Teachers, we are perfect for field trips
