Our planet opens

Sunday, 19 Jan, 2012 0

Saint Lucia recently unveiled a new state-of-the-art visitor attraction at La Place Carenage in the Castries harbor.

Our Planet Centre, designed to tap into visitors’ environmental conservation interest in a fun, educational and interactive way.  Opened June 2011, the multi-million dollar Our Planet Centre exhibits on-island conservation programs.

Utilizing cutting edge technology, Our Planet features the largest mirror-sphere in the world, producing a giant kaleidoscopic display for video screening; a hologram recorded specifically for Saint Lucia by Prince Charles; multiple touch screen displays; a simulation hurricane room; as well as a "NASA Room" designed specifically by the NASA team to stream weather information. It’s the first center of its kind in the Caribbean and all proceeds from Our Planet will go to local environmental projects on island.
