The idea for this project originated from a group of local businessmen. After all Drumheller and the Badlands are right smack in the center of dinosaur country.

Many millions of years ago dinosaurs roamed the world and the Badlands were a lush diverse area of the planet home to many different dinosaur species like the Albertosaurus and the T-Rex.

What’s been left behind are many many fossils, the first being discovered back in the later 1800s. Today the Badlands are recognized by Paleontologists as the most prolific place for dinosaur fossil in the entire world.

Meat some of the smallest and tallest Theropods, discover the creatures that lived underwater more than 350 million years ago, visit the cretaceous garden where you’ll find living exhibits of the plants dinosaurs ate millions of years ago. Then take a trip back to the ice age and trace the evolution of mammals.

There’s so much to see and do at the Museum that you just might not want to leave. But while in Drumheller be sure to spend some time exploring the Badlands yourself. It’s an incredible journey and with just a few tools you might even find your own fossil.
