10 Scariest Specimens – All Ages
Prepare to be frightened as the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology presents the Top 10 Scariest Specimens in our Collection! During this Distance Learning special presentation, you will see a crocodile skull the size of a Smart Car, the largest dinosaur claw ever found, and a creature with a set of teeth bigger than T. rex! The program concludes with a Q&A session with a Museum expert. With the fossils we share, you'll be in for a scare!
Discovering Dinosaurs – Ages 4 – 8
Explore our world-famous Dinosaur Hall! This tour introduces young participants to the study of palaeontology, and the dinosaurs that lived in ancient Alberta. See real dinosaur fossils, explore what dinosaurs ate, and find out what living animal is most closely related to the dinosaurs. After the tour there will be lots of time for questions with our dinosaur experts.
Giants of the Ice Age – All Ages
Explore the mammals that evolved after the extinction of the dinosaurs, and find out how these ancient beasts adapted as North America's climate changed from tropical to an ice age. Using real fossils from our Collection, you will see some familiar favourites such as the mammoth and sabre-toothed cat, and also meet some unique mega-mammals like the giant ground sloth and Glyptodont. We'll find out that not all giants were dinosaurs!
