Reviews of T.rex Discovery Centre (Museum)

Brett Hanson

So many displays, there is a 24 minute video every half hour, lots of displays and even a few one can touch. A full T-rex skeleton dominates the centre of the display. The staff are helpful and passionate on the subject as they participate in the field as well.

Jacquie Tokaryk

In an Amazing part of Saskatchewan and Scotty lives here!

Tammy Bischler

Great place to spend a few hours.

David Kemp

It's great for kids. Not so much for adults.

(Translated) It is a beautiful museum and the t rex is perfect but we did 50 km on a path from Gravel to get there (Original) C est un beau musée et le t rex est parfait mais nous avons fait 50 km sur un chemin de Gravel pour y arriver

Pat Clancy

This is well worth the effort to stop and see. There is a to of k knowledge to gain from this place. Go there if you can.

Wendy Perry

Well worth the trip!

Amy Huziak

A small museum but very charming and informative. Love the dinosaurs, obviously. As a couple of adults sans children, I felt a little out of place amongst the throngs of kids, but it seems like it would be a fun place to bring my baby nieces in the future. If you're looking to stay nearby, the Riverside Motel down the street is clean and affordable.

Louma Meunier

In the middle of nowhere, but so worth the drive!!

Gail Kesslar

To see this world class facility housing Canada's largest TRex Discovery (and 9th largest in the world) in this teeny tiny town is something that has to be experienced.

Rick Gallinger

A fun and educational place.

Maanoj Thanabalasingam

Great tour by Dallan! Real knowledgeable personnel and learnt a lot from them. Definitely opt in for a guided tour, well worth the detour from the transcanada.

Tim Watrin

A great site, with a large nearly complete T-rex named Scotty. Video really shows the work to get this size of a specimen out of the ground. Now they have a 3d printer doing the work. Staff is super engaging. Also we got to dig on real plaster encased field samples to find fossils. With adequate supervision of course. Totally great visit. Will definitely go back. Stay local there lots to do and see!

Melanie Gerard

It is an out of the way kind of drive but well worth it! It's a must see if your a dino lover!

Tyler Guillemin

A small but amazing center! Went here multiple time as a kid and was super excited to take my kids here.

Riley Zielke

Great place to stop in and explore with the family. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Take your time to see and learn about the biggest T-Rex found.

kevin chase

Very nice and informative. Nice area. Lots of walking

Zack MacGregor

Great spot to take the kids! Entry is by donation, the hours are long, the staff is knowledgeable, and the fossils are cool.

Reece Digney

Great time with the family. Lots of cool things to see and a great section with activities for kids!

neil fisher

Amazing place for anyone with even the slightest interest in dinosaurs. Heck, even if you're not someone who has an interest in dinosaurs this place will like spark one. The star attraction is Scotty, the twelve metre long female Tyrannosaurus Rex and boy is this fossil impressive. There are a number of other fossils displayed that are just as impressive, such as the rhinoceros like brontothere. The staff are super friendly and know so much about life in Saskatchewan 65 million years ago☺

Jeremy Johnson

Great museum within short drive of our campground.

Kids loved it. There’s a little video that is very interesting. It’s great that most of the exhibits the kids can touch and experience. Great time.

Deni M.

Awesome place. Went with my family (young kids, too) and everyone had a great time. Worth the trip. Especially to see the fossils. Eastend, SK is incredibly scenic.

Deb Michel

Very interactive place to experience yourself or with kids. You can help look for artifacts in their lab. The drive from Cypress hills to Eastend is beautiful. Make sure you go to Jones Peak while you are there.

Jenny Nicholson

Very fun little museum. Staff were great.

Kelvin Thiessen

This place is way behind the times. You should see for yourself!

Jason Chambers

Fun place to take the kids, they got to paint a souvenir youth. Great exhibit.

Quinlan Gach

It is quite off the map to get here... and for the long drive there really is not much here. 5 minutes of looking and you're done. And can I mention the gift shop prices? $6 for a floppy magnet? Come on. Won't come back. Very disappointed, I had high expectations.

Hansen Zanacic

Awesome experience highly recommended you get to work like a real paleontologist

Brenda Doyle

Impressive displays! Recommended donation for admission is $10 per person and we found it worth the money.

Shanny

Scotty T.rex centre is a great place to visit. Make sure you spend some time in the beautiful town too.

Millicent Leugner

Entry fee is a monetary donation. Small museum but very informative! Take the 706 grid from Cypress Hills to Eastend to be amazed with the scenery partway to Eastend. Take the 2 self drive tours of the area so learn more of the geography and area's history.

Dan S.

Very interesting museum, Scotty the T. Rex is pretty big. The staff was very friendly and gave a lot of advice to visit south Saskatchewan.

Wendy Hunter

It was full of interesting artifacts and interactive activities. The short film was excellent! We will definitely go again

(Translated) A super place, with excellent view and content❤️???????????????????????????????? (Original) Un súper lugar, con excelente vista y contenido❤️????????????‍????‍????‍????????????

Rory Hebb

Very cool center. Best for young children, but is interesting for anyone. They even have paleontologists working onsite.

Nauman Khan

Astonishing place to visit. Quite shocking to see where they found it.

Alida Hoetmer

Very intetesting and informative ... Scotty is a sight to see!-

Lorna Siever

First time here. Have heard lots about dinos but this 2 hour stop was worth the history, geography and archaeology lesson. Was able to tag behind a tour and learned so much more. A gas stop in Eastend found friendly folks with a few tidbits of the surrounding area. Never know what you can learn!

James Volk

It was very interesting and informative

Cassie W

So cool!!!! ????????????????????????????

Hans Larsson

Excellent natural history museum. All local content. Dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals.

Kristianne Viher

Everything about this place was fantastic. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly (even made a phone call to check me into my campsite reservation so we could stay longer). Loved the information and how there were so many different ways to entertain the kids- and that it was still open even though we arrived late on a Sunday afternoon!!!

Janice Loubert

Field station with great displays.

Dbalmer100

Defunatly worth the visit! When you go ask for the guided tour. So glad we made it this year!

Anne-Marie Hosick

Very educational. We were able to watch paleanthologists work on some of the bones.

Danny Janzen

Interesting,well put together displays. Would recommend a stop here.

Darcy Donovan

Great little museum. Admission is free but there is a suggested donation. Also a 30 minute documentary of how "Scotty" was discovered. It is a small place but well worth the visit. Do it in combination with the Frenchman Valley Loop road and make a day of it.

Ian Manga

The biggest trex to be seen( fossils)

Sam

Absolutely worth the trip. Amazing to see Scotty and all the other dinosaurs and read all about them. The kids loved it just as much as the adults.

Angela D

The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The kids had a blast

John Loewen

Good place to visit with Family

Merle Crawford

This place was alright, learned a few things

Jar Head

Very beautiful stop

John gulbrandsen

Wonderful informative Museum

ChaoticDNA

Great collection of fossils including of course a T Rex . Our tour guide Matthew was well versed in the collection and provided a great tour, despite a low attention span child.

Steve F

Nice little facility but on our last visit they were in the middle of reopening so they didn't have everything organized and the shop was pretty poor on memorabilia!

Sandra Brayer

Very neat, smaller version of Drumheller, less commercialized too!

Addie Stuart

Very Interesting! Video great & very informative. Well worth seeing.

Dave Rempel

Great place to take kids for the afternoon. Enough activities and things to see.

/

This is a great little place to visit. It's worth the drive if you are passing nearby. I brought the family on our way back from Cypress hills. We were pleasantly surprised by how great it was.

Lorne Widger

A great little gem of an Education Centre, in the heart of Dinosaur Country.

Amanda Cook

Knowledgeable staff

Cornelius Gobel

What can I say that hasn't been said already. Scotty is twelve (?!) metres of pure T-Rex bone. You've gotta see this in person, the sheer enormity of it all will have you gasping. They really had to dig deep to get this one out but the experience is worth it. We thought taking this in would be dry going but we left gushing with excitement.

karugia ndirangu

A lot of past that we do not understand. It leaves one wondering as to what happened

Francine Armstrong

The T. Rex Discovery Centre in Eastend is not the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller... Don't go expecting a huge place with hundreds of specimens on display. This interpretive centre is devoted almost exclusively to the life and times of Tyrannosaurus rex, particularly the specimen "Scotty" discovered nearby. But if you ever wanted to learn all about T. rex, this is your place. It also has a nice exhibit on the early "Age of Mammals" based on discoveries from the Wood Mountain area. It's worth popping off the highway to visit and stretch your legs.

Nicole

Awesome place to visit with kids.

John Stuart

Very interesting place to visit,me and my nephew really enjoyed,going back in time.

Elizabeth Offin

Def worth the trip

Brenna Janzen

Loved the T Rex discovery center. So many interesting things to see!

Blaine Prentice

Nice and clean facility. There is some informative displays and a few full sized dinosaur skeletons. The admission is donation based.

Zach Coward

Great place to take the family and have a look around. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Gutek Limousin bulls

Rav Crash

Southern sask hidden gem

Kinh Trinh

Informative tour on the discovery of largest trex..

Laurie Langmo

Great place to go

GIXXER

A great and informative little museum. Admission is via donation ($10 is the recommended amount). The museum does a great job of providing information on dinosaurs, the time frame and other interesting information. The lab is really neat and you might run into the person who found Scotty!

Demi Sison

Scenic prairieland! Museum is great!

William Dykstra

Fantastic exhibit highly recommend to visit it if your in the area.

Christianne Blais

Worth the stop, especially with kids. There's a 25-min video on the discovery and excavation of "Scotty" the biggest T-rex ever found(!), a number of displays covering topics from "Scotty" to other discoveries, to paleontology and ecological changes over the different eras. New to the centre is a chance for visitors to get hands-on and practice being a paleontologist! There are also a number of summer students working in the paleontology lab so you get to see them working away. Admission is by donation, recommends $10 per adult. There is also a walking trail outside if that's your jam.

Elijah Thistle

Amazing t rex biggest In the world.
