Bring the prehistoric past back to life with an expedition to Alberta's premier attraction for all ages of budding palaeontologists - The Royal Tyrrell Museum near Drumheller, Alberta. Millions of years ago the landscape was immensely different. Huge land dinosaurs, massive sea creatures, thick tropical forests and tiny yet significant insects dominated the prolific area. Now they lay under crops and thick layers of sediment to slowly be discovered. The Tyrrell Museum is home to some of the most significant fossils on the planet—everything from a stunning Tyrannosaurus rex to a flying turtle to proof that some dinosaurs had feathers! Inside the museum thousands of fossils are displayed in realistic settings while outside on the trails, fossils tempt the palaeontologist who lead the hikes. The first fossil found here – the Albertosaurus sarcophagus - was found by a geologist looking for coal. Spend time in the Red Deer Valley to see how the two histories co-exist.

in the Tyrrell's 4,400 square metres of display space celebrate 3.5 billion years of life on Earth. More than 800 fossils are on permanent display. They include some of the largest land animals the world has known. More than 30 dinosaur specimens can be seen in the main gallery.
