Royal Tyrrell Museum: Senior Admission (65+)

The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller is where Canadians go to stand next to some of the finest dinosaur fossils found anywhere in the world, and its published admission prices give seniors a clear saving. The museum counts an adult as 18 to 64 and a senior as 65 and up, and a senior pays $16 where an adult pays $25. That is a saving of $9 on every visit, and it applies on every day the museum is open.

How to claim it

1. Check the museum hours for the date you plan to visit, since the schedule changes with the season.
2. Ask for the senior admission for each guest aged 65 and up when you buy your tickets, online or at the door.
3. Bring ID that shows your age, in case staff ask to see it.

The full published price list runs adult $25.00, senior $16.00, youth aged 7 to 17 at $12.00, and family admission at $55.00. Children aged 6 and under enter free, although a ticket is still required for them, and every price includes tax. Hours run on two seasons. From September 1 to May 14, the museum opens Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closes on Mondays, except for holiday Mondays. From May 15 to August 31, it opens daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Practical tip: Drumheller pairs well with a slow drive through the badlands, and a weekday morning outside the summer rush leaves the galleries calm and easy to enjoy.
