Midland Provincial Park
A provincial park that is home to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, with badlands interpretive trails and remnants of an old coal mine.
Midland Provincial Park occupies the site of the former Midland Coal Mine, and the Royal Tyrrell Museum sits within its grounds. The badlands trail outside the museum runs about 1.4 km, with interpretive signs that explain the rock layers and fossils along the way. The park also has picnic areas and remnants of the old mine shafts, and you can stroll along the riverbank. Admission is free. It is a good place to take a walk before or after visiting the museum. In summer, remember sun protection and plenty of water.
