Reviews of Paleontology Museum (Museum)

Garon Baxter

There is an excellent collection of prehistoric materials here ranging from the stromatolites and the first signs of life on Earth to full skeletal reconstructions of large dinosaurs. Walking the perimeter will take you from the dawn of life to the not-so-distant past, with an impressive amount of full skeletons, fragments, interactive/hands-on items, and enough information to keep you engaged for an hour. Free entry, there are tables to study at, quiet atmosphere. I would also recommend checking out the also free to enter mineral museum just down the hall, there’s a beautiful assortment of all kinds of rocks and minerals and crystals!

Private and informative, and well organized.

Phyllis Tregre

Outstanding museum, a lot of thing to see and to learn. You must go, its wonderful.

Jack Bennett

Kind of small but really cool to be able to access real fossils and read about them at the university. Has two tables and can be a great study space due to the quietness and the size of the museum.

I was amazed at the sheer number of hidden basement museums on campus, this has to be one of the best.

Fj Ness

Free! A little hard to find but go into the basement and look for signs. The museum is more learning and less commercial focused. You can touch many of the items. The geology mineralogy museum is a few doors down and worth your time. You can see both in an hour.

This is free but it is essentially just one room at the university. Describing it as a museum is a bit of an exaggeration. Calling it a display would be more accurate.

Mike Lafont

Fun place to take the kid. I recommend going at least once.

Alexandra Chang

Came here with my students for a field trip. The guide was great and interacted with the students well. She kept them engaged and showed them different fossils from different periods. Explained them and gave the students a chance to feel. A scavenger hunt was organized which gave the students something more tangible to do. More time for the hunt would have been better but we were short on time too.

(Translated) Excellent place. Very enriching about the knowledge of the types of specimens that lived in Alberta millions of years ago. (Original) Excelente lugar. Muy enriquecedor sobre el conocimiento de los tipos de especímenes que vivieron en Alberta hace millones de años.

Be warned the museum is inaccessible due to Covid. They have locked their buildings down and after paying $5.50 for parking we were unable to get in at all. Quite a shame because it looks super cool.

Place to learn

David Dawkins

Small but mighty. The wees were excited. Even more so by the rock museum down the hall. The 10.month old was thrilled with the exhibits at her level.

Karok Bivokti

Small but lots of ancient items one can see.

Masoud Saeedinia

No appointment needed. They know what to do. I was satisfied and he said I can drive 15000km with that oil.

Matthew Leavitt

Tiny little museum down the hall from the mineralogy museum, hidden away in the basement but very nice and quiet. Not worth making a long drive, by any means, but nice all the same.
