JUNE 21
Father’s Day
Join us at Jurassic Forest on June 21st for the Brontosaurus Barbecue — a Father’s Day celebration built for dads. After fuelling up at the barbecue, settle in for a special stage presentation — The One That Got Away — a fascinating look at the prehistoric fish that once ruled the ancient waterways of Alberta and beyond. From the armoured Dunkleosteus to the enormous Xiphactinus, discover the incredible creatures that swam the seas long before any dinosaur set foot on land. Whether dad is a seasoned angler or just loves a good fish tale, this presentation connects the timeless hobby of fishing to the deep history of life on Earth in a way the whole family will enjoy.
JULY 1
Canada Day!
Celebrate Canada Day by discovering the remarkable prehistoric history hiding beneath Alberta’s soil. Join us at Jurassic Forest on July 1st for a very special Canada Day celebration that honours one of the greatest discoveries in Canadian paleontological history. Step back in time with our stage presentation — Joseph Tyrrell and the History of Paleontology in Alberta. It’s the story of the remarkable 1884 expedition that changed our understanding of prehistoric life forever. In August of that year, geologist Joseph Burr Tyrrell stumbled upon the skull of an Albertosaurus along the Red Deer River badlands, a discovery that would spark over a century of world-class paleontological research and cement Alberta’s place on the global fossil map.
