Visite des Badlands : Drumheller avec Musée, Hoodoos & Dinosaurs
Description
Commencez votre journée avec une route panoramique de 1h30 de Calgary à Drumheller, où les prairies de l’Alberta se transforment en canyons spectaculaires des Badlands. Votre premier arrêt est Horseshoe Canyon, une vallée en U à couper le souffle avec des falaises et des sentiers de randonnée. Ensuite, visitez le Royal Tyrrell Museum, célèbre dans le monde entier, qui abrite l'une des plus grandes Collections de squelettes de dinosaures, et profitez d'une courte randonnée sur le Badlands Interpretive Trail. Arrêtez-vous dans la petite église avant de vous rendre en ville pour voir le plus grand dinosaure du monde, haut de 26 m. Promenez-vous au Downtown Plaza de Drumheller pour des boutiques et des collations, puis déjeunez dans un café local. Dans l'après-midi, explorez le sentier Hoodoos avec ses formations rocheuses emblématiques en forme de champignon et visitez l'historique pont suspendu Star Mine. Si le temps le permet, découvrez le lieu historique national de la mine de charbon Atlas. (Note : Fermé pour la saison. À la fermeture, nous visitons le salon de la dernière chance.) Concluez avec un coucher de soleil panoramique en voiture de retour à Calgary.

Que vous soyez un explorateur solo, une famille ou un passionné de photographie, cet endroit est un incontournable de toute aventure dans les Badlands de l'Alberta.
Le plus grand dinosaure du monde est une statue emblématique de T. rex de 86 pieds de haut à Drumheller, en Alberta, quatre fois plus grande qu’un vrai T. rex. Les visiteurs peuvent monter 106 escaliers à l'intérieur pour atteindre une plate-forme d'observation dans sa bouche, offrant une vue panoramique sur la ville et les badlands. Situé à côté du centre d'accueil Drumheller et du parc Rotary Spray, c'est une halte amusante pour les familles et les amateurs de photos. Super pour une visite rapide, selfies.
Le Royal Tyrrell Museum de Drumheller, en Alberta, est la première destination au Canada pour les amateurs de dinosaures. Il présente plus de 800 fossiles, des squelettes de dinosaures grandeur nature (comme T. rex et Triceratops) et des expositions pratiques sur la vie ancienne. Les visiteurs peuvent également voir de vrais travaux de préparation de fossiles dans le laboratoire et parcourir le Badlands Interpretive Trail à l'extérieur. C’est une visite incontournable pour les familles, les amateurs de sciences et tous ceux qui explorent les badlands de l’Alberta.

Une charmante partie gratuite de l'histoire locale qui mélange une expérience ludique de pont suspendu avec des vues spectaculaires sur les Badlands de Drumheller – et une étape agréable pour mettre fin à votre visite du Dinosaur Trail.
Les Hoodoos de Drumheller sont des formations rocheuses gréseuses frappantes situées à environ 16 km à l'est de Drumheller. Ces flèches naturelles, façonnées par l'érosion au cours de milliers d'années, mesurent de 5 à 7 mètres de haut et sont protégées par des pierres tombales plus dures. Les visiteurs peuvent profiter d'un court sentier en boucle facile avec parking et aires de pique-nique à proximité.
Le Last Chance Saloon de Drumheller est un bar-restaurant historique situé dans la ville fantôme de Wayne. Il offre un charme western classique, une excellente cuisine et un aperçu du passé sauvage de l'Alberta — un arrêt incontournable dans votre aventure Drumheller!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear our guide's enthusiasm and knowledge made your experience so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour soon!
We were extremely disappointed with our tour. This was mainly due to the car and guide. There were 5 people squeezed into a Honda Pilot, lic. 0-FW959 white. Every time we stopped my friend and I had to climb out of the back seat, and climb over the middle seat flipped over. I am an agile Senior but this was not how I wanted to be transported. As we were the smallest in size we were relegated to this back seat. To have paid $129 per person, it should have been a bigger vehicle. Our guide appeared to close his eyes and slightly wander across the center line several times on the way to Drumheller. He denied that he was sleepy but all five of us felt very unsafe. His English was not fluent enough to be a guide, he could not answer basic questions about Calgary. He was just a driver. But that was not how the trip was advertised. As for the Dinosaur Museum. It was great and I highly recommend a visit there. The in-depth models and information was outstanding. I would recommend the trip just find a fluent, competent guide. We could not understand him when he said his name but his car licence number was listed above.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry your experience didn't meet your expectations. This tour had only five guests, so a Honda Pilot was used. Unfortunately, it isn't practical to operate a larger van for such a small group. Regarding the drive, there were very strong winds that day, which can cause vehicles to shake and require frequent steering corrections. Safety is always our top priority. We also appreciate your comments about the guide's communication and will take them into consideration. We're glad you enjoyed the Dinosaur Museum and thank you again for sharing your experience.
Hello, Thank you so much to still do the tour even we could not change the day. Our tour guide was very helpful and gave us enough time to explore all sightseeing's stops. And even stopped shortly once on our request to shoot some photos. The day was fantastic with a lot of great memories. Big Thank you again Sandra

1 - Terrible experience! We booked the day before and went to the hotel as requested to be picked up and NO ONE SHOWED UP! They did not notify us that they decided to cancel the tour since there were not enough people. Not even a text message. We needed to call multiple times to a phone that went to voicemail. When the finally answered, that was their excuse
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We communicated the cancellation properly to TripAdvisor, and they sent both an email and a message regarding this. We believe the notification may have been missed.
The trip was excellent. It started on exact time. The driver was patient and friendly, he guided us through all the stuff. He didn’t rush on any site.
Thanks you so much for taking time for the review
