Hi Regan,
Many years ago (1996?), Science World in Vancouver, Canada, had an exhibit on mining and geology.  If I remember correctly, the whole exhibit was an immersive role-playing scenario that emphasized critical thinking and differing perspectives regarding mining-related issues facing a fictional community.  At the beginning of the exhibit, the visitor drew a card that gave them an identity--i.e. environmentalist, miner, geologist, etc.  Visitors used interactives to explore related science concepts, then at the end of the exhibit made a recommendation regarding the mining issue.  Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of this exhibit, but I remember it being very engaging and thoughtful.
