Our Story

Our unique Vulcan Tourism & Trek Station, which is open to the public seven days a week, has been cleverly and brilliantly designed to look like a landing spacecraft. As you enter the building the stars and nebula of the Trek Station’s floor-to-ceiling space murals will make you feel as though you have been transported into outer space.

Our one-of-a-kind visitor information centre is home to a large collection of Star Trek Memorabilia, the Galaxy Souvenir Gift Shop, and tourist information mainly centered around Alberta and all the amazing attractions in our province. As Trek Station employees, our goal is to help you make the best of your day trips, extended road trips, and summer holidays!

Please feel free to come in and ask us about the many attractions in all of Alberta and we’ll help make sure your summer is an amazing one filled with adventure and joy! Or, for our fellow Trekkies, come in and ask us about our association and deep-rooted love for Star Trek’s character, Mr. Spock (we’ll answer questions about the rest of the crew members, too).

Hours of operation = 9am - 8pm, Seven days a week.
