We saw the dinosaurs in Drumheller, AB back in 1990 and found them interesting so we went for another visit, having heard that they totally altered and updated the museum. The dinosaurs did not age noticeably but the presentation of the information was extremely well done. It is hard to convey millions of years of history and what happened at which time to a public which does not want to study the details but still get an idea of what happened. Well done!
It was put on today for the last time this season. We still got tickets and enjoyed a huge production in an open amphitheatre. We were sitting at the mercy of the strong sun and heat. The theatre holds 2500 people and all were touched by the event 2000 years ago. Especially moving was the Resurrection and final scene; hundreds of angels standing with their wings spread open all around us on top of the hills. The whole choir had also turned into angels. It was a blessed afternoon.
To visit Drumheller was just an afterthought and the visit was well worth it. It is located right in the middle of the Canadian Bad Lands; it looks more like a desert than anything else; however the Red Deer River flows through the valley. Overnight we had a thunderstorm and we saw, all at the same time, black clouds, two rainbows, clear blue sky and bright sunshine. Only in the prairies can you see that much of God’s creation at the same time.
