It was really cool to see the paleontology museum. I enjoyed going :)








Definitely a hidden gem in Edmonton. So many cool artifacts / relics on display including ones you can touch! Highly recommend checking it out.

The exhibition is not big, but very interesting. You can touch some of the exhibits. There is also a room with a good collection of stones and minerals.

Be warned the museum is inaccessible due to Covid. They have locked their buildings down and after paying $5.50 for parking we were unable to get in at all. Quite a shame because it looks super cool.

There is an excellent collection of prehistoric materials here ranging from the stromatolites and the first signs of life on Earth to full skeletal reconstructions of large dinosaurs. Walking the perimeter will take you from the dawn of life to the not-so-distant past, with an impressive amount of full skeletons, fragments, interactive/hands-on items, and enough information to keep you engaged for an hour. Free entry, there are tables to study at, quiet atmosphere. I would also recommend checking out the also free to enter mineral museum just down the hall, there’s a beautiful assortment of all kinds of rocks and minerals and crystals!






I was amazed at the sheer number of hidden basement museums on campus, this has to be one of the best.

Came here with my students for a field trip. The guide was great and interacted with the students well. She kept them engaged and showed them different fossils from different periods. Explained them and gave the students a chance to feel. A scavenger hunt was organized which gave the students something more tangible to do. More time for the hunt would have been better but we were short on time too.
