Alberta / DRUMHELLER, BADLANDS & BEYOND TOURING
Royal Tyrrell Museum
The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology celebrates the spectacular diversity of
life on Earth, from the tiniest grain of pollen to the mightiest dinosaur. This world-
renowned museum and research facility is located in the rugged Canadian Badlands
in Drumheller, Alberta.
Located only 90 minutes northeast of Calgary, Canada’s only museum devoted
exclusively to palaeontology - the study of plant and animal life based on the fossil
record - offers something for everyone. Hundreds of thousands of people each year
are captivated by one of the world’s largest collections of dinosaur skeletons, most of
which were discovered in Alberta’s badlands - one of the best places in the world for
fossil discoveries.
The latest exhibition, Grounds for Discovery, highlights fossils found during industrial
activities, including one of the best-preserved dinosaurs in the world.
All of the museum’s dynamic displays spark curiosity, dispel myths and engage people
with learning. In the summer, you may also participate in educational programs that
interpret how the past and present are related. Individuals and families alike can learn
about the wonders of the Badlands during a guided hike, create a cast of a real fossil
or try your hand at digging in a quarry. Open year-round with extended hours May -
September.
