Wow don’t miss out on this museum. If you’re a dinosaur nerd like me, you’ll really enjoy this.
Lots of fossils, pretty cool history description. You can see archaeologists actively working on newly found fossils behind the window. Lots of the fossils in this museum are actually from drumheller and are local to Alberta. Definitely a good experience. Lots of fun learning opportunities for kids and they also offer food in summer which unfortunately was closed when I visited in winter. Make sure you give yourself enough time to explore everything the museum has to offer. I’d recommend 5+hours.
Lots of parkings around. as well as for rvs

Haven’t been back since 2005 so it was a fun nostalgia trip. Lots of exhibits and fossils to see. Went on a Saturday at 1 pm and it was fairly busy but not so busy that you couldn’t find parking or couldn’t take single photos without people in the back. Definitely didn’t have to worry about tickets being sold out either.
Definitely had as much fun now as I did when I was 10. And crazy enough, they still had the small plush I bought when I was a kid in their gift store. I absolutely loved the dinosaur plush but lost it. It rocked my world to see it again and to be able to purchase and own it again as a part of history.

Always a favorite place for our family for decades! Glad to share this with my kid now. Great place and the new improvements to the interpretive trail are awesome as well as to the rest of the museum. We did a Dino dig too with them once and it was worth it. Displays the history of Dinosaurs and Alberta very well. We truly are the place where most things dinosaur happened.
A beautiful display of fossils from around the world. The museum has done an excellent job explaining the history and significance for each finding. We came on a Sunday afternoon, there was no wait and we bought tickets on the spot. Expect to spend about 2 hours here going at a steady pace without kids. With kids you could spend 4 hours here easily. There are pretty views of the badlands and hiking trails at the top of the stairs outside. Inside, be sure to check out the greenhouse area - it's tucked away and easy to miss if you're not paying attention.
My first time here and my mind was blown!!!!
Wow!
The exhibits are very well done and have awesome details about each fossil!
The flow of the exhibits is really good! There’s lots of space! The lab are was cool!
Totally worth the $21 admission!!!

A wonderful location for the entire family.😃There are several amazing exhibits and dinosaurs🦖🦕 to view. For a quick break, there is a small food court 🍱. Great gift shop with a variety of items for shoppers of all ages. For the little ones to use as an outdoor playground to burn off some excess energy. The walking trail has wonderful views. Get ready to climb the steps from the lower parking area. Top parking garages are frequently crowded. Wonderful day for both adults and children.
Very organized and interactive! Great for all ages! Be sure to plan for 2 or 3 hours at least to take it all in and not rush!!
**Would have definitely been better if they had used some of the multimillions of dollars they received from the government and private sponsors to focus on and present the actual truth. To have more inclusion of the Creation Origin story and proven factual history and far less focus on there agenda of pushing 'God' out of everything. "Nature, science and God are one and the same and are not enemies but rather allies."
