In November, 1995 a former Town of Vulcan Administrator brought forward the concept of creating a space themed tourist station to tap into the growing tourist market interested in Space Tourism, Science and Star Trek. The idea quickly grew into a group effort between V.A.S.T (Vulcan Association for Science and Trek), the Vulcan County Economic Development , Vulcan & District Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Vulcan.

The Trek Station’s official grand opening was on October 23, 1998. The Station was designed to look like a landed spaceship. Clever landscaping and fibreoptic lighting on the soffat of the center enhance the illusion.

Today thousands of people from all over this world, and beyond, make the Trek to Vulcan to visit this unique attraction. It’s not everyday you see a tourist information centre shaped like a spaceship, unless of course you are in Vulcan, Alberta.
