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.
