Fossil World Dinosaur Discovery Centre
Fossil World
A family-friendly dinosaur experience centre in town, with mock fossil digs and a dinosaur model exhibit that is especially good for kids.
Fossil World is on the west side of town. It displays replica dinosaur models and fossil specimens and focuses on hands-on activities for children. Kids can dig for replica fossils and pan for gems in sandpits. There is also an indoor climbing playground and a dinosaur-themed gift shop. It is fairly small and mainly appeals to families with young children, making it a good add-on after the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Admission starts at about CAD 15, and the activities cost extra.
Opening hours
About 10:00–17:00
