Badlands Tour : Trummis med museum, huvor och dinosaurier
Beskrivning
Börja dagen med en naturskön 1,30 timmars bilresa från Calgary till Drumheller, där Albertas prärier förvandlas till Badlands dramatiska kanjoner. Ditt första stopp är Horseshoe Canyon, en hisnande U-formad dal med skiktade klippor och vandringsleder. Besök sedan det världsberömda Royal Tyrrell Museum, där en av de största Samlingarna av dinosaurieskelett finns, och njut av en kort vandring på Badlands tolkningsled. Stanna till vid den lilla men ändå lilla kyrkan innan du beger dig in till stan för att se den 26 meter höga världens största dinosaurie. Strosa på Drumheller’s Downtown Plaza för butiker och snacks, och njut sedan av lunch på ett lokalt café. På eftermiddagen kan du utforska Hoodoos Trail med sina ikoniska svampformade klippformationer och besöka den historiska Star Mine Suspension Bridge. Om tiden tillåter, upptäck Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site. (Obs! Stängt för säsongen. Vid avslutningar besöker vi Sista chansen-salongen.) Avsluta med en naturskön solnedgångstur tillbaka till Calgary.

Horseshoe Canyon erbjuder en perfekt blandning av dramatiska badlands landskap, måttliga vandringsleder, vilda djur och stjärnfyllda skyar - allt i hjärtat av Drumheller. Oavsett om du är en solo utforskare, familj eller fotografi entusiast, är denna plats ett måste på alla Alberta Badlands äventyr.
Världens största dinosaurie är en ikonisk 86 fot lång T. rex-staty i Drumheller, Alberta – fyra gånger större än en riktig T. rex. Besökare kan klättra 106 trappor in för att nå en utsiktsplattform i dess mun, med panoramautsikt över staden och badlands. Beläget bredvid Drumheller Visitor Centre och Rotary Spray Park, är det ett roligt stopp för familjer och fotoälskare. Perfekt för ett snabbt besök, selfies.
Royal Tyrrell Museum i Drumheller, Alberta är Kanadas främsta destination för dinosaurieälskare. Här visas över 800 fossil, dinosaurieskelett i naturlig storlek (som T. rex och Triceratops) och praktiska utställningar om forntida liv. Besökare kan också se riktigt fossilt förberedelsearbete i labbet och gå Badlands tolkningsled utanför. Det är ett måste för familjer, vetenskapsfans och alla som utforskar Albertas badlands.
Att ta en lunchpaus i Drumheller är ett bra sätt att ladda upp mellan att utforska dinosaurier, badlands och natursköna stigar. Oavsett om du letar efter en snabb bit mat, en sittplats eller en picknick plats, Drumheller har en mängd olika alternativ.
En charmig, gratis bit av lokal historia som blandar en lekfull hängbroupplevelse med dramatiska vyer över Drumheller Badlands – och ett trevligt stopp för att bryta upp din Dinosaur Trail-tur.
Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site, bara 20 minuter från Drumheller, är en av Kanadas mest kompletta historiska kolgruvor. Här finns landets sista träkolstipp och här erbjuds självguidade turer och unika guidade upplevelser som: Tågturer genom den gamla gruvan ️ Tipsturer för att utforska kolbearbetning ️ Underjordiska vandringar in i gruvtunnlar Öppet säsongsvis (maj–oktober) och är perfekt för familjer, historieälskare och alla som är nyfikna på Albertas kolgruvehistoria. Använd stadiga skor och boka turer i förväg! Observera att Kolgruvan nu är stängd för säsongen. Vi har lagt till ytterligare ett stopp vid Sista chansen-salongen istället.
Drumheller Hoodoos är slående sandstensklippformationer som ligger ca 16 km öster om Drumheller. Dessa naturliga spiror, formade av erosion under tusentals år, är 5 till 7 meter höga och skyddas av hårdare kapstenar. Besökare kan njuta av en kort, lätt slinga spår med parkering och picknickområden i närheten.
The Last Chance Saloon i Drumheller är en historisk bar och restaurang som ligger i spökstaden Wayne. Här erbjuds klassisk västerländsk charm, god mat och en inblick i Albertas vilda förflutna – ett måste på ditt Drumheller-äventyr!

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.

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

Thanks you so much for taking time for the review
Went on Monday August 10 it was so crowded in the museum , it was hard to read any of the information about the dinosaurs , people were posing for pictures in front of them , shoving an pushing you. Might be better in the fall to go back an see it .
It looks like your feedback is specifically related to the museum experience. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We hope you’ll consider booking with us again during the off-season for a more relaxed experience, and we trust you enjoyed the rest of your trip.
