40th Anniversary Special Events

Women in Palaeontology is the theme of the Devil's Coulee discovery's 40th anniversary travelling exhibits, because most of the fossils at Devil's Coulee Dinosaur Museum were found by Albertan women!

“Night at the Museum” will be on Thursday July 8 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Tour Devil’s Coulee Dinosaur Museum by flashlight, led by a knowledgeable guide. Kids ages 5 to 12 get a free sticker if they come to “Night at the Museum” in their pajamas – dinosaur pajamas are encouraged! See the new light-up exhibit of Mesozoic sea life, and invent dinosaur shadow puppet shows on the ceiling. This is a family-themed event, but adults without kids are also welcome!

A special sunset tour of the Devil’s Coulee fossil site, where Canada’s first dinosaur nests were officially discovered, will take place Sunday August 1 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, weather permitting. For this event, visitors must register ahead of time by e-mailing info at devilscoulee dot com (no booking fee necessary). Participants will meet at Devil’s Coulee Dinosaur Museum before driving out to the fossil site in their individual vehicles. If there is bad weather, those registered will be notified, and given the option of a museum tour by flashlight instead. This event is geared toward adults and teens, but families with kids are also welcome!

Location

Inside County of Warner No. 5 Administration Building, on County Road, Warner, Alberta. (The brown brick building across the street from the airplane.)

We are approximately 30 minutes south of Lethbridge, and 12 minutes north of Milk River. Turn west off Highway 4.

We are proud to call the Village of Warner home. There is a Chinese restaurant (with pizza), a bakery, and a corner store for groceries and ice cream cones, all locally owned and operated. If you're looking for a place to spend the night, Warner also has a B&B, a hotel with a restaurant, and an RV park.

Want to make a day of it? Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park is a 45-minute drive from our museum. Other nearby attractions include the Milk River Historical Society & Museum, Etzikom Museum, and the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston.

Parking & Facilities

There are parking spaces in front of and behind the museum, as well as street parking beside the museum, and across the road by our Heritage Garden. Whether you drive a mini car, an RV, or a school bus, there is plenty of space for you! We are nextdoor to Warner's gas station, so you can also fuel up while you're here, if needed.

We are in a wheelchair accessible, air-conditioned building with accessible bathrooms right across the hallway from our gift shop entrance.

If the weather is good, your group can eat outside in our Heritage Garden, across the road from the museum. There are picnic tables, and a gazebo; we just ask that you place any trash in the recepticle provided. (Please note, our Conservation Policy prohibits eating or drinking in the museum.) Warner has three restaurants: an A1 Pizza just over on the main road, and a restaurant/bar in the hotel nextdoor. Or, feel free to enjoy an ice cream cone at Warner village's corner store.

If you're looking for a place to spend the night, Warner has a B&B, a grocery store for food and other supplies, and a hotel, all locally owned and operated. You can book one of the museum's two RV spots for one night (no hook-ups available) through either RV Overnights or Terego, or stay at one of these nearby campgrounds: 8 Flags Campground (12 minutes away in Milk River), Gold Springs Campground (22 minutes south), or Ridge Park Campground (27 minutes northwest), or Writing-on-Stone Campground (42 minutes southeast).
