Museums & Interpretive Centres
Dinosaurs
The Royal Tyrrell Museum in the Drumheller Valley is one of the world’s finest dinosaur museums. You’ll see original dinosaur bones and fossils, along with dozens of reconstructed, lifelike dinosaurs. Many of the specimens are unique to the Canadian Badlands.
The visitor centre in Dinosaur Provincial Park, near Brooks, will tell you about the lush environment in which the dinosaurs lived. You can find out about the first nest of dinosaur eggs discovered in Canada at the Devil’s Coulee Dinosaur Heritage Museum in Warner.
Nature Centres
Visit nature centres in the cities of the Canadian Badlands to find out more about the plants and animals in the river valleys. The Helen Schuler Coulee Centre hosts interpretive walks about the floodplains and coulees around the centre. You can view prairie wildflowers from Medicine Hat’s Police Point Park.
The exhibits at Kerry Wood Nature Centre describe the various habitats of the Red Deer area. Nearby, two interpretive walks take you through a migratory bird sanctuary.
