- Royal Tyrrell Museum - Situated in the heart of Alberta’s Badlands, the Royal Tyrrell Museum is Canada’s leading dinosaur and paleontology museum. Visitors can marvel at one of the world’s largest collections of dinosaur fossils, interactive displays, and life-sized models of ancient creatures. The museum also boasts captivating galleries that showcase Earth’s history, ancient marine life, and the evolution of plants and mammals. Ideal for families, students, and anyone with an interest in natural history, this museum promises an unforgettable journey through time.
- Horseshoe Canyon - Discover the breathtaking beauty of Alberta’s badlands on a guided hike through Horseshoe Canyon—a striking, U-shaped canyon located just minutes from Drumheller. Learn about the area’s unique geology, prehistoric history, and native plant life as you descend to the canyon floor. Perfect for hikers, photographers, and families looking to connect deeply with Alberta’s ancient landscapes. Please note that Horseshoe Canyon is closed for the season and will reopen on April 17, 2026.
- The Hoodoos - Immerse yourself in the surreal landscape of the Alberta Badlands and experience the extraordinary beauty of the Drumheller Hoodoos—tall, slender rock spires shaped by wind, water, and time. These iconic sandstone pillars, some reaching over 20 feet in height, are among the most photographed natural landmarks in the province. Begin with a scenic drive along the Hoodoo Trail (Highway 10), where dramatic rock formations and canyons stretch across the horizon. Enjoy a self-guided or guided exploration of the area along the short, interpretive trail. Walk among towering hoodoos, learn about their formation over millions of years, and understand the delicate balance that keeps them standing today. Along the way, your guide will share intriguing stories about the region’s Indigenous history, early coal mining communities, and the prehistoric world beneath your feet. You’ll have ample time for photos, short hikes, and quiet moments to appreciate the unique beauty of these rock formations.
- Rosedale Suspension Bridge - Travel back in time and enjoy sweeping views of the Canadian Badlands with a walk across the historic Rosedale Suspension Bridge, one of Drumheller’s hidden treasures. Spanning the Red Deer River, this pedestrian-only suspension bridge was originally constructed in the 1930s to serve local coal miners—and now provides travelers with a unique crossing experience. As you traverse the slightly swaying 117-metre (384 ft) bridge, take in panoramic views. Your guide will share tales of Drumheller’s coal mining history, the workers who once used this very bridge, and how the region evolved from an industrial town into a paleontological and tourist destination. After crossing the bridge, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the riverbank, explore photo-worthy angles of the bridge from below, or simply savor the tranquil landscape. This is an excellent spot for photos, birdwatching, and history enthusiasts—and a perfect addition to a day of exploring Drumheller’s natural wonders.
- Wayne - Step back in time as you explore Wayne, one of Canada’s best-preserved ghost towns nestled in the heart of the Alberta Badlands. Once a thriving coal mining town, Wayne now offers travelers a captivating glimpse into early 20th-century life, surrounded by stunning badlands scenery. Wander through the quiet streets lined with historic buildings, including the old Last Chance Saloon, former miners’ homes, and rustic shops — many still standing as they were decades ago. Learn about the town’s rise during Alberta’s coal mining boom and its eventual decline as mines closed, leaving behind a haunting yet beautiful snapshot of the past. Please note that Wayne Town Last Chance Saloon will be closed from December 15, 2025, until mid-April 2026.
- World’s Largest Dinosaur - Prepare to be amazed as you encounter the World’s Largest Dinosaur, a colossal 26-metre (86-foot) tall fiberglass T-Rex that towers over the town of Drumheller. This iconic roadside attraction is a must-see landmark and one of Canada’s most cherished photo spots. Climb the stairs inside the dinosaur’s legs to reach a viewing platform that offers sweeping panoramic views of Drumheller and the surrounding Badlands. Along the way, discover fun facts about T-Rex anatomy, the prehistoric era, and Alberta’s rich dinosaur fossil heritage. Admission Fee: CAD 5.

An Unforgettable Day in the Badlands - Highly Recommend! - We had an absolutely wonderful day trip to Drumheller! The highlights for us were definitely the Royal Tyrrell Museum, the World's Largest Dinosaur, and Horseshoe Canyon - each stop was stunning in its own way. Our guide Jaleel was fantastic - helpful, informative, and never once rushed us. He gave great details about every spot and made sure we had plenty of time to take photos. Everything was well-organized and the whole day flowed perfectly. If you're visiting Calgary, do not miss this tour!
