The Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site is considered Canada's most complete historic coal mine. We are currently closed for the season. Check our social media or website for updates. We'll see you all in 2021!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 1/2 hours at the mine. Jay, our conductor, was able to share numerous background facts about the many structures. In addition to the train there are tours of the Tipple and other parts of the mine which require an amount of hiking. It's a great place to visit, particularly if you have interest in coal mining.

Drumheller's Little Church...Seating 10,000 people - 6 at a time. The Little Church is always open to the public and free to visit.
We stopped at this smallish church on a whim as we passed buy. It was inspirational. A great photo op spot.

This ia a historic stop. You can walk across the suspension bridge to the other side with the remains of coal mines--the beginnings of this place. If you are afraid of heights, don't look down and don't cross when others are crossing as the bridge will sway. This is worth a stop just to take in the history of mining here. Farther down the trail you can also stop at the Atlas Coal Mine for more insight into the mining in this area and see more of the badlands.

The World's Largest Dinosaur is 4 times larger than a Tyrannosaurus Rex standing 82 feet tall. Visitors can climb 106 steps to the mouth to view the badlands & Drumheller, Alberta, Canada.
We spent a few days in Drumheller seeing all things dinosaur so of course the world's largest was a must see. For a small fee, I believe it was $10 for the family you can walk up the stairs inside the dinosaur and look out over the city of Drumheller. It's a beautiful view and the kids loved that there are murals and bones inside the stair well to check out as you walk up. A must do. We have a 2, 4 and 11 year old and they all walked up the entire Dino, we carried out youngest down the last few flights on our way out. It's not wheelchair or walking impaired friendly.
