can anyone tell me about day trip from calgary ab. to drumheller ab. in canada ?

Question

---i want to see Drumheller-Badlands while I am staying for one day at Calgary Ab.

Answer 1

You will definitely need more than one day to see Calgary, the museum in Drumheller and the Badlands.

We went to Drumheller a few years ago. We spent the night there, and then spent the entire next day at the museum. I believe it is the finest collection in the world for dinosaur aficionados. If you do stay in Drumheller, get there early. We arrived around 5:00 in the evening, and got the last motel room in town.

You also should spend a few days in Calgary. There are many things to see there. The zoo is good, and they have an excellent living history museum. Walk along river too, in the center of town. There is also a fort, the site of the winter Olympics and much more.

Enjoy your trip!

Answer 2

Actually the badlands are near Brooks, "Dinosaur Provincial Park", and the Royal Tyrell Museum (Dinosaur museum) is in Drumheller. You won't be able to take in both places in the same day. If you only have one day then I recommend going to the museum.

Answer 3

Be prepared to spend you entire day on this, but it is well worth it! There is at least one viewpoint on the way to the Museum where you can get an excellent view and feel for the badlands. Take your camera!

The Museum is fantastic, and there are outdoors tours too, which we did not do because of limited mobility. However, the Museum itself is really awesome, take your time going through it!

Enjoy the trip!!

Answer 4

I've travelled from London Gatwick to Calgary and it took 9 1/2 hours. The flight path took us directly north over Manchester and Glasgow. Given that Manchester is about 50 minutes north of Gatwick, you're going to be looking at 8 1/2 to 9 hours, depending on the wind speed.
