    It's hard, but I have to drop a half star here. When I was here last, it was newly open. I could…read moreexcuse some empty areas in the museum, and some messy bathrooms, but during a recent visit, the same area was fairly empty, and the bathrooms were still a mess. Now it was Treaty Day, and they had a few events here, so maybe this is the reason for the washroom sloppiness (there was a talent show, bbq, and 10k run---I was too late for all of them) :( But yeah, last year I was in awe. I noted some shortcomings, but I assumed they'd get remedied after a year or so of operation. Unfortunately, not much was different. Museums should be dynamic and ever-changing. They should give reason for return visits. Our people have so much to offer, and THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT MUSEUM. So, let's represent! (Don't get me wrong though---I'll be back!). On a techie note, they did have free wifi, so I was able to check email on my phone!

    To be honest I have a bit of mixed feelings about this place. First of all it is a great venue, the…read moreexhibition is very interesting and you can learn a lot about the history i.e. Treaty No. 7. But, ... then there is what Corey already mentioned: some display lights were off or broken, an area with a photo exhibition was completely in the dark, posters were starting to peel off from the displays... There seems to be a lack of maintenance. The experience with the staff however was flawless. Very friendly and professional. A note on the side: some trails are still closed after the 2013 flooding.

    Definitely Alberta's best kept secret when it comes to Museums. Royal Tyrell is usually the go to…read morefor dinosaur tourists but this museum was a little diamond hidden in the prairies. We came here by making a reservation and had the guide take us through every display in detail. Very knowledgeable and very passionate about the material, you will learn an awful lot about geology, dinosaurs and evolution. It should be clear when you come in that it's presenting from a Biblical creation model, but as I'm sure many people discover, that by no means isn't scientific or not based on evidence. The museum is very small (no bigger than a small house) but the tour is quite elaborate. We spent about 4 hours going through everything and never felt bored (and that's considering I've spent less time at Tyrell and gotten more bored). The displays are very professional, very informative, and the layout is very user friendly. It only cost each of us $5 (prices vary by demographic/group) but the tour is really worth way more than that. All of us thought the presentation exceeded our expectations. It should be noted that the many negative reviews found in various places (here, tripadvisor, Yelp, etc) are commonly made by people who never set foot in the museum (the owner and guide confirmed that). It's a long way to go but it's a tour that's great for families, Christians, skeptics (he's had quite a few) and anyone who likes to be challenged in their thinking. Would recommend this to all my friends and family. :)
