In 1987, local nineteen-year-old Wendy Sloboda was hiking and found what she believed were dinosaur eggshells. Renowned palaeontologist Dr. Philip Currie from the Royal Tyrrell Museum recognized the find's significance. Excavations led to the revelation of Canada's first official dinosaur nesting site! Both hadrosaurs (duckbill dinosaurs) and theropods (carnivorous dinosaurs) have been found nesting near each other.
Visitors to the museum (just 40 minutes south of Lethbridge) receive a personal guided gallery tour where they can touch real dinosaur fossils and skin impressions. Visitors can also book guided tours to the fossil site where the dinosaur eggs were found, or hone their own palaeontology skills by creating and digging for plaster casts.
