- Royal Tyrrell Museum - The Royal Tyrrell Museum stands as Canada’s leading dinosaur and paleontology museum, situated in the heart of Alberta’s Badlands. Guests can discover one of the globe’s most extensive collections of dinosaur fossils, interactive displays, and life-sized models of ancient creatures. The museum also boasts captivating galleries that showcase Earth’s history, ancient marine life, and the development of plants and mammals. Ideal for families, students, and anyone intrigued by natural history, this museum provides an unforgettable journey through time.
- Horseshoe Canyon - Discover the breathtaking beauty of Alberta’s badlands on a guided hike through Horseshoe Canyon—a striking, U-shaped canyon located just minutes from Drumheller. Gain insights into the area’s unique geology, prehistoric history, and native plant life as you descend to the canyon floor. Perfect for hikers, photographers, and families looking to connect deeply with Alberta’s ancient landscapes. Please note that Horseshoe Canyon is closed for the season and will reopen on April 17, 2026.
- The Hoodoos - Enter the surreal landscape of the Alberta Badlands and marvel at the extraordinary beauty of the Drumheller Hoodoos—tall, slender rock spires shaped by wind, water, and time. These iconic sandstone pillars, some exceeding 20 feet in height, are among the most photographed natural landmarks in the province. Begin with a scenic drive along the Hoodoo Trail (Highway 10), where dramatic rock formations and canyons stretch across the horizon. Enjoy a self-guided or guided exploration of the area along the short, interpretive trail. Walk among towering hoodoos, learn about their formation over millions of years, and understand the delicate balance that keeps them standing today. Along the way, your guide will share intriguing stories about the region’s Indigenous history, early coal mining settlements, and the prehistoric world beneath your feet. You’ll have ample time for photos, short hikes, and quiet moments to appreciate the unique beauty of these rock formations.
- Rosedale Suspension Bridge - Travel back in time and enjoy sweeping views of the Canadian Badlands with a walk across the historic Rosedale Suspension Bridge, one of Drumheller’s hidden treasures. Spanning the Red Deer River, this pedestrian-only suspension bridge was originally constructed in the 1930s to serve local coal miners—and now offers travelers a unique crossing experience. As you traverse the gently swaying 117-meter (384 ft) bridge, take in panoramic views. Your guide will share tales of Drumheller’s coal mining history, the workers who once used this very bridge, and how the region evolved from an industrial town into a paleontological and tourist destination. After crossing the bridge, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the riverbank, explore photo-worthy angles of the bridge from below, or simply savor the tranquil landscape. This is an excellent spot for photos, birdwatching, and history enthusiasts—and a perfect addition to a day of exploring Drumheller’s natural wonders.
- Wayne - Step back in time as you explore Wayne, one of Canada’s best-preserved ghost towns nestled in the heart of the Alberta Badlands. Once a bustling coal mining town, Wayne now offers travelers a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century life, surrounded by stunning badlands scenery. Wander through the quiet streets lined with historic buildings, including the old Last Chance Saloon, former miners’ homes, and rustic shops — many still standing as they were decades ago. Learn about the town’s rise during Alberta’s coal mining boom and its eventual decline as mines closed, leaving behind a haunting but beautiful snapshot of the past. Please note that Wayne Town Last Chance Saloon will be closed from December 15, 2025, until mid-April 2026.
- World’s Largest Dinosaur - Prepare to be amazed as you encounter the World’s Largest Dinosaur, a colossal 26-meter (86-foot) tall fiberglass T-Rex that towers over the town of Drumheller. This iconic roadside attraction is a must-see landmark and one of Canada’s most cherished photo spots. Climb the stairs inside the dinosaur’s legs to reach a viewing platform that offers sweeping panoramic views of Drumheller and the surrounding Badlands. Along the way, discover fun facts about T-Rex anatomy, the prehistoric era, and Alberta’s rich dinosaur fossil heritage.

A memorable trip to the Badlands - Had a fantastic day- I was the only person on the tour and I was so happy it wasn't cancelled. Waleed was a friendly and engaging guide who was flexible to my interests and ensured I saw all I wanted to see. Some seemingly small touches such as water and snacks was much appreciated. Was great to have plenty of time at the museum and to see such beautiful scenery along the way. A tour worth every cent, can highly recommend to anyone interested in history, dinosaurs or seeing beautiful natural landscapes.

Amazing tour with beautiful stops! - Waleed went above and beyond for my trip! Ive heard other companies cancelling last minute but even as a solo traveler, he still did the tour for me! He was on time for pickup and was very knowledgeable throughout the day.
The trip was amazing and all the stops were stunning! It was worth every penny. I can’t recommend him and the trip enough.
Don’t waste your time on the other companies and risk late cancellations or subpar guides!
Five stars!!

Great Experience - This was a last minute booking and I am glad we did it. The itinerary is just right for a day trip from Calgary. We did not get to stop at the Rosedale Suspension Bridge because there was some construction ongoing. But, the rest of the stops were well worth it. The Horseshoe Canyon is more expansive and spectacular than the photos give it credit. Wayne town has picturesque western vibes. The Hoodoos also had some amazing views. And our favorite was the Royal Tyrrell Museum with its incredible collection of fossils.
Thanks to our tour guide, Walid (pictured), who doubled as our photographer. Salamat kaayo!

Badlands - Waleed was very knowledgeable and engaging throughout our tour of the Badlands and Drumheller. It was only a small group, and this allowed us to get a more personal experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and Waleed's company.

Amazing day! - Great experience today with Waleed! I had to book last minute the night before because I had a cancellation and it was the only tour I could still book at 9pm for Drumheller. All admission fees were included so I didn't need to think about anything, including water and snacks. I would highly recommend.

An amazing tour with a great guide and super comfy car - Had a spare day in Calgary, booked this trip on an impulse. This trip turned out to be one of the best adventures one can take in Alberta. The sites were amazing: prairies first, then the eerie badlands, canyons, hoodoos, the dinosaur museum, a desperado town, and so much more!
Our tour guide Waleed was a great host providing us with lots of information and giving us a flexible and yet well structured experience. He drove us in a luxury SUV, provided water, snacks, etc.
Take this tour with Waleed’s company and you’ll enjoy every minute!
