My son is six and that&#8217;s the perfect age to hang out with dinosaurs. It was also the perfect trip to end summer. It&#8217;s a long drive but worth it! We were able to stay for three days and we fit a lot into our days of adventure. This also left time to relax in the hotel room and swim. We all came out of it with something we loved. If you&#8217;re planning a trip to Drumheller in the next year, maybe this will give you some ideas.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Trip to Drumheller<\/h2>\n<p>It was a long drive to get there but worth it.

We chose Bernie &amp; The Boys because it was highly rated on google. And Google was correct! We had burgers and milkshakes and walked away with very full stomachs. My son doesn&#8217;t eat a lot while he travels but Drumheller had all the good food. We walked around downtown before going to the hotel because we were so full. We decided to stop at the local Brewery &#8211; Valley Brewing. It&#8217;s not the best choice when you&#8217;re already full but we knew we wanted to try it and had some time. My partner and I each tried a flight of different kinds of beer and thought they were very good. My son was allowed to bring in his milkshake so he was happy with our choice as well. We noted our favourite ones so we could come back later. From there, we drove to the hotel to check in and relax for the night. We have a 6-year-old so we didn&#8217;t actually relax. The hotel had a pool\/waterslide\/hot tub and it was my son&#8217;s favourite thing. The hotel was close to restaurants as well so we didn&#8217;t have to get back in the car that night. They also had an amazing little ice cream truck that was within walking distance as well. We ate supper, swam in the pool, and headed to bed because we had a big adventure the next day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We started Saturday with something I was really looking forward to. I know Drumheller is all about the dinosaurs but I was looking forward to the Hoodoos and I knew my son would love them as well. We went bright and early. We beat the heat and quite a bit of the other tourists. By the time we left, the parking lot was full. Our walk was amazing. We climbed rocks, we enjoyed the gorgeous view and we had a great time together. As a side note, we love hotel breakfasts. They really help start the day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56591\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56591\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56591\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_154110192-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_154110192-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_154110192-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_154110192-1500x2000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_154110192-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_154110192-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_154110192-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-56591\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My partner and our kiddo.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_56592\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56592\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_153653636.MP_-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_153653636.MP_-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_153653636.MP_-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_153653636.MP_-1500x2000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_153653636.MP_-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_153653636.MP_-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_153653636.MP_-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-56592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hoo Doo?

We got our tickets online the day before and decided to eat there as well. Not only is it an amazing museum but they also have an amazing playground for kids.

There is a lot of information! We toured it pretty quickly because my son kept seeing something else. The kid&#8217;s section was quite good and had a lot of activity. We arrived at about noon and it was busy but not awful. As we left, there was a HUGE line-up. Once again, we did very well at beating the crowds. We ended our tour in the gift shop and of course, bought my son a dinosaur book and toy. He knew we weren&#8217;t buying something from every stop so this was our treat. It was a good tour and had a lot of moments to learn. As I said, the playground made my son very happy after we got out.<\/p>\n<p>After we left the playground, we decided to add one more last-minute adventure. We headed out of town to visit an orchard. It turned out to be an hour away from Drumheller but it was a nice spot and a lovely drive.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56594\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56594\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_214354501.MP_-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_214354501.MP_-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_214354501.MP_-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_214354501.MP_-1500x2000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_214354501.MP_-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_214354501.MP_-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/saskatoon\/files\/2022\/10\/PXL_20220903_214354501.MP_-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-56594\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">DNA Gardens<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We went to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnagardens.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DNA Gardens<\/a>, Elnora.
