We scheduled our trip to drumheller so that we would be able to visit fossil world on April 19. We stayed a extra night in drumheller so we would be able to visit. On the morning of April 19 I saw that website had changed their opening date to April 20. We stopped by the location to see the opening... More

A small museum focussed on the display of fossils from USA and elsewhere - but not local ones as Alberta forbids all museums other than the Tyrell from displaying them. Information abounds and an animatronic dinosaur keeps two beady eyes on you at all times. Great for youngsters who can "pan" for fossils, stones and other minerals.

We drove a really long way, lookIng forward to going here, only to find out they are not open on Tuesdays or Wednesdays,. What a huge disappointment!

My kids have been on several field trips to Fossil World and they have always enjoyed themselves. I went with them for the first time this past weekend and I'm sort of undecided. The kids had a good time "mining" for minerals and "digging" for fossils, but the admission price ($20/child for museum, mining and fossil dig) seems a little... More

We had so much fun! It was awesome for the kids, the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. We have small children and they enjoyed it 100%. We will return again and will spread the word.

found this place to be overpriced and the overall value of admission to be poor. It is aimed at kids but the staff do not seem very kid friendly. We were here last year as well and thought maybe we just were there on a bad day but this year proved much the same. The gift shop has allot to... More

Although the animatronic T-Rex was cool, and the kids got to 'mine' for minerals, 'dig' for fossils, and climb the fossil-tower, the admission price was steep. I paid for a dual pass for 2 of my kids, and a triple pass for one (there are 3 main activities in addition to general admission), and I got in for free... total... More

If you have kids, you must see this. The robotic Dino makes this a must see stop in itself, not to mention the hands on stuff for the kids....like the fossil dig, wall climbing and mineral mining. They also sell real fossils in the gift shop (at a price, but they come with a letter of Authenticity).

If you plan to go here, go before you go to the Tyrell Museum because after going to the Tyrell Museum, it is likely going to be a disappointment. For $30, a family can spend an entire day at Tyrell. For $24, a family will find it hard to stay longer than an hour at Fossil World. My husband was... More
