Make the most of your visit to the Dinosaur Capital of the world

Welcome to Drumheller image

If your main attraction is to see the world's largest dinosaur, then Drumheller is the place for you. "The towering replica is 4.5 times the size of a real T-rex," according to the visitor information centre in Drumheller. From there, you can plan your day's adventure. Dinosaur Provincial Park is one of the gems of Southern Alberta, and it is Canada's largest Badlands area. It features some of the most surreal and impressive landscapes beyond the Rockies. Dinosaur Provincial Park is often overshadowed by its more fancied cousin, Drumheller. While Drumheller is the better museum, Dinosaur Park offers a far better opportunity to see (and even find!) real dinosaur fossils in situ.

Learn something new: The Royal Tyrrell will turn you into a dinosaur nerd in no time. It is home to some of the most remarkable well-preserved prehistoric specimens ever found. These include an amazingly well-preserved armoured nodasaur that looks more like a statue than a fossil. Cretaceous outdoors: Take a self-guided tour through the Badlands to explore some of the area's wonders, like "fairy chimneys," twisting canyons and a slightly terrifying/exhilarating suspension bridge.
