Leave the city behind and journey into the Alberta prairie. From your window admire big Alberta skies, endless farm and ranchland, and spend time counting train cars on the railway line. Late morning we will arrive at Dinosaur Provincial Park UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you will leave the vast prairies behind, and step into another world... into the heart of the Canadian Badlands, the largest stretch of this unique geography in Canada.

Upon arrival you will find yourself surrounded by rugged landscape and sandstone hoodoos. You will have time to learn about the history of the park and the pre-historic giants that once roamed this area over 75 million years ago. It’s nearly impossible not to stumble upon a dinosaur fossil in the park - so keep your camera ready for exciting finds, beautiful scenery, native wildlife, birds and the magnificent cottonwood trees that call the park home. Take time to browse to FOSSIL EXHIBITS located in the Visitor Centre (your admission is included). At 2pm the EXPLORERS BUS TOUR (your admission is included) will depart. With an expert interpreter as your guide, take a 2-hour adventure into the park’s protected areas to view the landscape up close and seek dinosaur fossils.

DEPART 9am Medicine Hat College Main Entrance - Please arrive 15 minutes prior to departure time to load the bus and get settled in for your journey.

RETURN Approximately 6pm. The bus will drop you off at the Medicine Hat College Main Entrance.

WHAT TO BRING 

• LUNCH Pack a picnic lunch – there is plenty of room for a cooler or two in the cargo area of the vehicle.
• WATER Be sure to bring along plenty of water to keep hydrated as you explore. The climate can be very hot at the park and drinking water is very important. 
• APPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR The terrain at the park is uneven, can be steep in some areas, and cactus are abundant. Proper close-toed shoes are needed to safely explore - hiking boots are ideal. Sandals are not an appropriate choice of footwear for this destination. 
• SUN HAT and SUNSCREEN Protect yourself from heatstroke with a hat (and plenty of water!). Sunscreen is highly recommended 

BOOKING DEADLINE: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd 2023. SEATS ARE LIMITED FOR THIS EVENT - BE SURE TO BOOK EARLY TO SECURE YOUR SEAT!
