Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology
Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology, located in the badlands along the Red Deer River near Drumheller, Alberta, is Canada's only museum dedicated solely to the study and display of prehistoric life. It is named after surveyor and explorer Joseph Burr Tyrrell, who discovered dinosaur remains near the present museum site in 1884. The provincially funded facility had a capital cost of $30 million. It opened to the public on 25 Sept 1985, and was bestowed the title Royal by Queen Elizabeth II on 28 June 1990. This is a stop you won't want to miss!
