First time to this museum and boy does it have a lot of cool stuff! We love the animals and outdoor and the displays were amazing and so life like. I liked the aboriginal culture and the animals of alberta sections.

Went on a Saturday morning when entry was half price and was there for 4 hours! There was a LOT to read and to see and do. Too much for one visit. The cafe is worth a visit too. Also excellent value!

This was a very enjoyable experience. The exhibitions are laid out well and very informative. I unfortunately didn't have enough time to see it all as thoroughly as I would have liked. I spent over 3 hours there and it did not seem like it at all. If it hadn't been closing time and my feet hadn't been desperately requesting... More

I found the exhibits informative and educational. My favorites were the gallery of minerals and the history of Chinese restaurants. Very interesting museum and affordable admission price.

There are exhibits of interest to everyone. I like the displays recreating life on the prairies hundreds of years ago and the nature displays of native animals and birds.

I knew I was spending a lot of time in Alberta on my holiday so I had bought an annual pass to the Alberta historical sites which included entry to the museum so I went along. I'm glad I did. It was well laid out and interesting. Plenty to look at for adults and kids alike with each of the... More

The Royal Alberta Museum has always been a favorite place of mine. I love to see the exhibits and attend special events there. I am sure that I have been there at least 20 times, and each time I learn something hew.

I'm from Edmonton so this museum is available to me whenever I want and if it's any indication for you, I have a annual pass. I went there to study when I was younger and now that I'm "all grown up", I bring my daughter here. Is it a world class museum? No, but it's still worth a visit and... More
