Petroglyphs Provincial Park

This park is home to nearly 1000 rock carvings that scientists estimate were drawn between 500 and 1000 years ago.

What an amazing peek into history!! One can feel the calmness and peace at the park. We reached the park around 3:15 pm. The park ranger at the entrance informed us that since the park closes by 5, we can park at the Seniors/Handicap parking area which is much closer and a very short walk from the visitor center and the exhibit. Since we didn't have much time, we just visited the ancient rock where carvings are, and did not do any trails or the lake. The energy of the place is definitely different, there is peace and positivity in the air! The staff was very helpful, they explained the carvings and told us stories/legends behind the symbols and were patient enough to answer our questions. 50% of their staff have first nation origins, everything felt very genuine and authentic. Photography is not allowed at the actual site but the exhibit a the visitor center has all the pictures and the stories. It's a must visit for children, there is no better way of learning history than experiencing it.

We were impressed with the quality and quantity of the dinosaur exhibits, particularly the action ones. The drive-thru takes about 25 minutes and is good value for money. The young kids and grandkids will love it!
