From Calgary: Drumheller Royal Tyrrell Museum & Hoodoos Day Tour - Small Group

Leave Calgary and head
into the Canadian Badlands

After an early pickup at a designated hotel in Calgary, you set off for Drumheller. Watch the rolling prairies gradually give way to the dramatic landscapes of the Canadian Badlands. This is a small-group tour of up to 14 people with a live guide in English, Punjabi, and Hindi.

See Horseshoe Canyon and the giant dinosaur statue

Your first stop is Horseshoe Canyon, a U-shaped canyon with layered, colorful cliffs. Spend about 100 minutes walking and taking photos of the views.

Next, head into the town of Drumheller and climb the 26-meter-tall World's Largest Dinosaur for panoramic views of the valley. While in town, you can also enjoy a coffee or pastry at a local bakery.

Explore dinosaur fossils at the Royal Tyrrell Museum

Spend about 2 hours at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology exploring dinosaur fossils and prehistoric exhibits. Admission is included, with priority entry through a special entrance. A short interpretive trail behind the museum lets you see the badlands terrain up close.

For lunch, stop at Bernie & The Boys Bistro, a local favorite known for its huge burgers and creative menu. Lunch is at your own expense.

Walk the Hoodoos Trail and the suspension bridge

In the afternoon, walk among the sandstone pillars of the Hoodoos Trail, shaped by wind and water erosion over time. Then cross the Star Mine Suspension Bridge (Rosedale Suspension Bridge) for views of the Red Deer River and a glimpse of Drumheller's coal mining history.

Take photos at Drumheller's Little Church and visit the Last Chance Saloon with its early 20th-century atmosphere, then return to Calgary across the prairies.
