Royal Alberta Museum
The largest museum in Western Canada, covering dinosaur fossils, Indigenous cultures, an insect house and Alberta's natural history.
The Royal Alberta Museum moved into a new building in the city centre in 2018, with galleries that are the largest in Western Canada. The natural history galleries display Ice Age mammals, dinosaur fossils, mineral gems and a live insect house. The human history galleries tell the stories of Indigenous peoples, the fur trade and immigration, and there's an interactive area designed for children. Entry costs around CAD 20 or so. The museum is closed on Mondays. It sits right beside Churchill Square, a short walk from Churchill Station on the light rail. Allow two to three hours for your visit.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun approx. 10:00–17:00
