Taking pictures, reading, exploring. Sadly we came on a rainy day so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor activities that they had to offer. The gift shop I feel like needs a bit of an upgrade because a lot of stuff was outdated and dusty. Overall 10/10 magical experience. What if we were alive with dinosaurs??? - 4 yo question

For all those that love or curious in dino experience. Immerse in education, paleontology,…read moreanthropology, history, geology, science, technology. Parking is free. It's much easier to find parking earlier in the day. There are lots of washrooms outdoors and inside the museum. No reservations needed. Check with front desk for admission prices. This is how I will rate my experience: Sept 2009 - five stars for fun, kept dinosaurs appearing as real as possible. Makes me want to take more pictures with the dinosaurs which I did. July 2026 - four stars for fossils only showing various types of dinosaurs. I find it somewhat boring. Lots of updated signage. There are a lot of valuable information regarding dinosaurs, Alberta, and climate change. There is a café and gift shop which we looked around, but didn't find anything to buy. Feel free to enjoy and spend as much time as needed.

Came here with my husband and my son. My son was 1 at the time. We were able to do the train tour…read moreand the processing plant tour. The train ride really is done in a 90 year old locomotive so do not think k it's going to be smooth and nice. It is the opposite- very rough and loud . We were unable to do the mine portal hike because my son was too young but hopefully in the future!!

What a nice little outing. We took the portal mine trip and the train ride. It ain't Disney. But…read moreif you want to learn about coal mining and the past, the guides are really nice. You don't go far into the mine. You do get hard hats with lights on them. The only tough part is walking up hill but they stop frequently enough. I'm not in great shape but it was a very doable walk uphill. A lot of kids and older people on the trail and nobody had issues. I'm not sure why they require special shoes but it's required.

Their beauty first caught my eye, but when I asked where they were crafted, and found out it was by artists in East Coulee, Alberta, there was no way I could pass on a purchase - the latter was a stones throw away from my lady's birthplace and childhood in Drumheller (and let's just say, a good many moons ago!!). There was little hesitation on my part, one definitely had to go home with her (and as I love rock rattles, one had to go home with me as well). As I had not actually visited their studio, there was some hesitation on my part to post this here as a review .. but wanted them to get more recognition of their lovely work than just a passing comment made on a purchase made elseshwere.

It's run by a British lady who's very soft-spoken and friendly; she seems a little eccentric, but in a good way ;) It's relatively small, but has a pretty good selection of stuff in it. There's a variety of things for all kinds of fossil & rock collectors - though I would say the stuff they sell tends to be heavier on the fossil selection and a bit lighter on the rock end of things. On the lower end of the price range, you have small pieces of rock samples, toys for kids, little polished fossils & the like. Mid-range stuff includes jewelry (I recently bought a pendant made from a Megalodon tooth) and smaller fossils, like ammonites. On the more expensive end, you have things like really fancy ammonites and bits of fossilized dino bone in nice display stands - my husband bought part of a triceratops frill there, and they recently had a lovely fossilized crab on a stand, and I fell in love with this coffee table that had fish fossils in the tabletop. On the very pricey end of things, you have some crazy cool stuff, like the better part of an entire triceratops skull, or a really well-preserved full psittacosaurus skeleton in situ. You can probably tell I'm a bit of a nerd about this stuff :P Which is why you can tell it's a good place to check out - if a fossil-loving lady and her even bigger fossil-nerd husband like this place, you're likely to find something good there yourself :)

School Of Yesterdays! We love this museum so much! There is…read moreso much history within the walls of this old school, and so many memories as well. We were fortunate a few years ago (during one of our trips) to meet one of the original classmates who happened to be touring as well. He was a lovely man and I wish I could remember his name as we got a picture of him but forgot to write his name down. I think he was with his daughter or granddaughter, but he was so sweet and it was so magical to see the school through his eyes. I can't help but think of him every time we visit. This really is a special place if you love to take a walk back in time.

I have been to some pretty big zoos (San Diego zoo/wild animal park, Los Angeles Zoo) and this was hands down the best zoo experience ice ever had. There are so many animals! Lions, TIGERS(Siberian and Bengal)!, camels, yak, bison, cougars, lynx, bears, wolves, goats, lemurs, monkeys and soooo much more. The setting is great and the owner, Lynn, is very kind. He lives on the property and works it everyday so if you visit there is a good chance you'll see him. Awesome zoo!
