More comments on the Royal Tyrrell later, I hope. But the quick headline is: Really impressive -- lots and lots and lots to look at. Do all the stuff you can that involves interacting with real people. Go on the Dinosite walk if possible. Skip everything on film or audio track that involves a narrator. -"We figured they were all frustrated English majors."- was the far-kinder comment than anything I have to say about the narration.
I went back Tuesday with Kurt Siegel and Nancy Cobb and wasn't in the least bit bored, even though I'd been completely through the museum just the day before.
Plan your visit so you can stay late in the day -- the museum is open until 9 pm, and it really empties out after after 5:30-6pm ish. That's a win, though the staffers doing small presentations seem to have "regular business hours," so be sure to be around for at least some of the 9-5 time frame, too.
If you like Greek food, be sure to go to the Athens Restaurant for dinner. It's on Route 9, just before the giant dinosaur as you're returning from the museum. "71 Bridge Street, Drumheller." Tasty, tasty. (Though the owners are trying to sell and move, so they might be gone by the time you get there.)
