Be sure to allow yourself a few hours to go through its incredible displays celebrating the history of life on Earth!!! :) More than 30 lifesize dinosaurs create a dramatic three-dimensional picture of life on this planet as it existed 65-70 million years ago. Amazing sight, represents the former wildlife of the region. Entrance Fee (1992):

    • Drumheller - Badlands
  • Badlands
  • by Matyas
  • Send Photo to a Friend
    • Cutting like scenic scar across the flat prairieland of Alberta is a natural phenomenon surprisingly little known, even to most Canadians. Gouged from the earth by prehistoric wind, water and ice, the Badlands are as mysterious as they are alien to the rest of Canada...It is worth stopping by if you're in the region!!! Definitely.

    • Drumheller - Hoodoos

  • by Matyas

    • Erupting from the valley floor are slender columns of soft sandstone, topped with mushroom-like caps. Although not as large as some people expect nevertheless these memorials to the strange action of erosin look like space-age statues. In fact superstitius Indians named these bizarre and strange pillars "Hoodoos", believing them tobe petrified giants who could come alive at night and hurl rocks at invaders. You can also climb them and get a nice view to the Badlands and the surrounding areas. Sorry for my bad quality photos.

    • Located 8 kilometres east of Drumheller, this unique suspension bridge was built to take thousands of miners across the Red Deer River to the now-buried Star Coal Mine. Don't worry, it has been rebuilt and is quite safe for those who want to venture across it...My moms back also can be seen on this photo:)

    • The mine was first built in 1936 and Century Coal Ltd. operated it until 1979 when it closed. Now adopted and managed by the Drumheller & District Chamber of Commerce, it has already become one of the area's most popular tourist attractions. A great photography location and a chance to stretch yor legs in historic surroundings...

     Canada is an awesome place! My girlfriend has a ski house outside of Montreal. Next time, you should cross the border down South and check out the US---- Ben, USA
