Today, we went to Drumheller to visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology. They had a giant dinosaur at their Tourist Information Centre which they claimed to be the "World's Largest Dinosaur". Drumheller was very decked out in dinosaurs: they were all over the streets, on signs, and even on street lamps.
The Museum was great. Their displays were very high tech and had a ton of activities built into the displays for kids to play with. They even had areas where we could see them work on uncovering fossils. It was definitely the best museum I've seen and admission was much lower than many other places (only $10). On our way in, the skies were darkening and when we left, a full thunderstorm was going on! Awesome!
After the museum, we drove back to Calgary, checked into our hotel, and went for dinner at a nice family restaurant. Then, we went downtown to Riley and McCormick's Western Wear to get some authentic cowboy hats! We will be ready for the Stampede tomorrow!!
Alberta highways and horizons have no end!
