Join Dr. Philip Currie and other renowned palaeontologists from the

famous dinosaur quarries, fossil localities, and research facilities 
in North America. 

This exclusive trip includes stops at:
                
        The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, one of the largest

        largest accumulation of Cretaceous dinosaur fossils anywhere 
        in the world. Your visit to the Tyrrell Museum culminates with
