Jurassic Fun Close To Calgary!

The museum has a lot of exhibits of creatures from the prehistoric time. At first, I thought that this place was only good for kids but I could not resist my fascinations looking at the fossils of bones from the creatures once inhabited this world. I’m a big fan of the T-Rex and when I finally had a chance to see it face to face I was just in awe. I mean the creature was truly huge and very intimidating.

Aside from the T-Rex, among of my favourites were the raptors, triceratops, albertasarous, saber-toothed tigers, wholly mammoth, and the fossils of prehistoric sea creatures (just like lockless monster). There are also plants and stones exhibits you can find inside of the museum.

Another thing you can do while at the museum is go for a quick hike outside. This can be a good workout too! Outside the museum, you can explore the badlands. You'll be amaze by the the beautiful views.

Tips: Make sure to carry with you refreshments, a towel and lots of batteries to take pictures of the surroundings.

The museum exhibits are all world-class. So you’ll need plenty of time to go through all the amazing stuff that the Royal Tyrell Museum offers. Make sure that whenever you are visiting Calgary, set aside for a whole day to visit this place. I guarantee you that the time and money you spent will be worth it.

There is no booking require for the tour so just show up and get ready to be amazed. The tours run from mid-June to early September.

In case you are wondering why they call it Canyon Horseshoe? It’s simple, the canyon is shaped like a horseshoe.
