Digging for dinos

Some of the world’s biggest dinosaur fossils have been uncovered right here in Alberta at Dinosaur Provincial Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Go on a real dig with a paleontological guide, see fossils with Guinness World Record titles, or step foot in the mouth of the world’s largest dinosaur. There’s plenty to discover when you step back in time to 70 million years ago.
