Dinosaur Provincial Park Fossil Safari Alberta Alaska

July 1, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 5:00 pm

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. Please click through to our Online Tour Booking Site for the actual tour schedule (dates and times) and book your seats ahead of your visit. (Make sure to book ‘seats’ for all family members, even “babes-in-arms” as our park buses can only take 24 passengers total.)

  • This 1.75 hour program is rated as “easy” but be prepared for sitting on the ground, kneeling and standing in the hot sun.
  • The Family Rate can be applied to groups with up to 2 adults and up to 3 children or youths, for a maximum of 5 seats.
