More Information

Our facility offers a wide range of memorable experiences for curious minds of all ages. From the observation deck, view the expansive Open Cut. Take a photo in front of the Davis Ring, a piece of a Nobel Prize-winning experiment hosted nearly a mile underground. See a suspended sculpture of the vast underground workings, then step inside our virtual cage ride to the underground. Plus, take some inspiration home with you; we offer unique souvenirs, educational gifts, and more at the Visitor Center Museum Store!

The Visitor Center bolsters SURF’s mission to advance world-leading science and inspire learning across generations by hosting K-12 education and public outreach events, and we proudly promote and support tourism and local businesses. Plan Your Visit!
