Drumheller Travel Guide

 Quartzy Says:  If you're in Drumheller, you need to make a stop to see that big dinosaur. You won't miss anything if you don't go up to its head, except perhaps the view (and for a buck or two, it might be worth it). 

 sunnywong Says:  Situated in the spectacular badlands of the Red Deer River Valley, the Royal Tyrrell Museum near Drumheller is a major research and exhibition centre and one of the largest palaeontological museums in the world. Every year, almost 400,000 people come to the Museum to explore... 

 Rice_Paper Says:  If you are into Dinosaurs and all things related, stop by at the internationally recognized Royal Tyrell (Palaeontology) Museum in Drumheller. World's largest display of complete dinosaur skeletons. 

 GrumpyDiver Says:  Just across the way from the Royal Tyrrell Museum is a 1 km walk through the badlands. Following a clearly marked path, you can see this unique landscape from closeup.The lighting gets really interesting at sunset. 

 balhannah Says:  Rosedale, and its Suspension Bridge, we came across when following the Hoodoo trail to the Hoodoo's.The Bridge is historic, and you can walk across it, which we did.It was once used by miners but is now used for fishing and to accessing more interesting area's of the... 

 balhannah Says:  Hoodoos, I just love looking at all the amazing shapes that have taken form over millions of years. They are so interesting, and great fun to explore!The name "Hoodoo" comes from the word "voodoo" and was given to these geological formations by the Europeans.In the Blackfoot... 

 balhannah Says:  Horseshoe Canyon, located in the Red Deer Badlands, was the 1st that we saw when heading to DrumhellerThe car park area was busy, probably because this Canyon is located near Highway 9, which runs between Calgary and Drumheller, and also, there was an Oversea's film crew... 

 balhannah Says:  Said to be The World's Biggest Dinosaur," this was also where we found the Visitor Information Centre.It stands 86 feet high, is four times the size of a real Tyrannosaurus Rex, and is said to be a female dinosaur. She weighs 145,000 pounds, and is constructed almost... 

 balhannah Says:  A Little Church......A little cutie!This is the way I describe the small 7' x 11' Church on the outskirts of Drumheller. It was built in 1958 as a place of worship, why so small?............. I can't answer that. Perhaps there weren't many people living in the area?All that... 

 balhannah Says:  This would have to be the best display about Dinasour's that I have ever seen. It is very well done, well set out and has good, detailed information.Located in the Dinosaur Hall is one of the world's largest displays of dinosaur remains. Walking through the Dinasour Hall, I... 

 Karlie85 Says:  The Bleriot Ferry is probably the oddest thing I saw in my time in Drumheller. It is a ferry made up of cables and pulleys used to transport vehicles across the Red Deer River. Why they built this in the first place and not a bridge is really beyond me, since there... 

 Karlie85 Says:  For a little bit of relaxing fun, head over to the Funland Amusement Park. There are bumper boats, a batting cage, and, my favorite, dinosaur themed mini golf! The course is very small, but it is still fun and takes a decent amount of time to go through. It looks like it... 

 Karlie85 Says:  The Star Mine suspension bridge is one of the main attractions one hearsabout when they visit Drumheller (although it is actually located in thesmall community of Rosedale). The bridge itself is nothing spectacular.I think it is more of an attractive because of it's... 

 Karlie85 Says:  Drumheller and surrounding areas have an abundance of coal, which was "discovered" by several white explorers over the years, although the natives of the area knew about it long before. You can see the black strips of coal throughout the badlands to this day. The boom of the...

 vtveen Says:  After visiting Drumheller and the ghost town of Rowley we were driving eastward along Highway 9 to Saskatchewan through the plains of Alberta.There was a sign of ‘Mother Mountain Tea House’ along the road and we turned off to the (almost ghost) town of Delia. Without any... 

 vtveen Says:  Rowley is one of Alberta’s ghost towns, although not completely deserted. There are still 10 or 15 people living. Some of the old buildings are restored and the village has even a coupel of museums. The Railway Museum is situated in an old railway carriage, close to the...
