Dinosaur Provincial Park

The Fossil Safari provides a hands-on discovery of the Park's rich fossil resource that is accessible only by tour.  The park bus takes you to a site in the Natural Preserve where a short walk to a micro-fossil site lets you discover the secrets of fossil-finding.  Learn techniques for identifying the remains of turtles, fish, mammals and, of course, dinosaurs. No digging is involved and all material is left at the site. This program will appeal to families with children who love dinosaurs!  Watch a video about the Fossil Safari.

The Fossil Safari provides a hands-on discovery of the Park's rich fossil resource that is accessible only by tour.  The park bus takes you to a site in the Natural Preserve where a short walk to a micro-fossil site lets you discover the secrets of fossil-finding.  Learn techniques for identifying the remains of turtles, fish, mammals and, of course, dinosaurs. No digging is involved and all material is left at the site. This program will appeal to families with children who love dinosaurs!  Watch a video about the Fossil Safari.

(Make sure to book 'seats' for all family members, even "babes-in-arms" as our park buses can only take 24 passengers total.)
