Comments
Drumheller calls itself the "Dinosaur Capital of the World" and hosts the Royal Tyrell Museum of Paleontology, which owns a collection of over 130,000 fossils (the largest in Canada) and receives over 400,000 visitors per year. Another Drumheller attraction is the "World's Largest Dinosaur", a 26.2-meter-tall Tyrannosaurus rex statue that can be climbed from the inside.
