Marvel at Royal Tyrrell Museum
Drumheller, which is in the center of the Canadian Badlands, is referred to as the dinosaur capital of the world. A dinosaur skull was discovered in the late 1800s while mining for coal in the rolling coulees close to the Red Deer River.
Spend a good amount of time in this location admiring the 40-mounted dinosaur skeletons and the 130,000 fossils that have been conserved. You can see fossilized remains of Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus rex, and Albertosaurus. You may learn more about the 3.9 billion-year history of the earth at the Royal Tyrrell Museum.
Incredible displays of dinosaurs found nearby are impressively showcased in a world-class setting. As you wander through the 13 galleries, you'll be transported back 3.9 billion years to the time that dinosaurs roamed the world.
A visit here isn't all indoors. Be sure to take time to explore the interpretive hiking trails located on the museum property.
