From May to October

This local landmark was the world’s first UFO Landing Pad and was constructed in June 1967, when St. Paul was given the title of Centennial Capital of Canada. The grounds are adorned by an Information Centre for visitors before visiting the exhibit downstairs. The UFO exhibit is aimed to educate the public about aliens and has photos of UFO sightings, crop circles, and cattle mutilation.

Near the Landing Pad, you will find several boutiques from local artisans to get a special memento from your visit. If you are hungry, there is also the UFO Pizza restaurant close to the Landing Pad. Everyone is welcome at the Landing Pad and can come to visit to learn more about the history of UFOs!
