royal alberta museum

If you or your kid's like minerals, or bugs this is the place to go the admission alone is worth it even if this is the only exhibit you go to see. I spend a good four hours here and hope to go back soon.

Love the Royal Alberta Museum. It's a great place to take the family on a weekend. The museum is big enough to take up a nice portion of your day. Young ones can easily visit the museum without getting tired. Perfect.

The stones are the best!! I didn't mind the crowding as it was free because I went on family day when it was free. They have a feature museum and so you need to check out what the feature is so it's something you are interested in. It changes pretty frequently. This time it was nature photos but I enjoyed the last time better when it was a famous author and some fun games and his books and big games that related to his books. It's always something new and relates to Alberta. I like the way they have the teepee and the artifacts displayed with current information as well as historical significance. There is a great bug section that makes my skin crawl. The butterfly display is amazing!! It doesn't take too long as there are basically four sections - with more time needed if you want to do the engaging and interesting activities that are available with the cost of admission. I only took one hour but if you have smaller kids or want to do the activities it may take up to two hours. It is well worth the cost of admission and I would go again when they change the feature exhibit.

My grand daughter and I visit the museum at least once a year and we are never disappointed. We love the bug display. We enjoy the rocks. We love the North American Animals and the Native American section.

Great place to visit and interesting displays. Too bad, they moving it closer to downtown area. NOT partical at all. A must visit for tourist visiting the city of chumps oh should say champions. Yet we have not won a grey cup or stanley cup for at least 5 years or more.

A great afternoon out with the family to take in all the nature of all the animals that surround our area as well as the the rock museum and see all the different kinds of stones and rocks that have been found. Take in one of the shows that is showing. Also I have been with a group of children for their teddy bear party that was so fun with little ones. Love the grounds just to have a coffee and walk around.

Wonderful place, fantastic displays, my favorite was the rock and gem section. The restaurant food is really good, the gift shop had a good variety of products for diverse budgets. Very helpful museum staff. My teen son and I really enjoyed our visit, will go again!

The wildlife dioramas in this museum are quite spectacular and would be worth a visit in themselves. We also much enjoyed the "First Nations" section which was well laid out and really interesting. Would like to have had more time

Loved the rocks and minerals section, but that was about it. A good place to take young children. Many families were there on a Sunday morning. Glad to have the 1/2 price admission for the 9-11 a.m. entrance.

We found the Royal Alberta Museum very interesting and well presented. The Wild Alberta gallery displayed many animals and situations that you will probably never see in person. We noticed that others in the area also appeared to be enjoying the displays.In the Natural History gallery, it was neat to see the wide range of rocks and fossils, as well as the minerals. The Bug room was fascinating to say the least. Even people scared of bugs should be okay in here. The bird display was also well done. We saw so many birds that we never knew existed in Alberta.The Aboriginal Culture gallery was very well presented and provided an detailed history of aboriginal life and their struggles. Very powerful.The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit was nice, but I would have preferred to see more photographs of Alberta and/or Canada. Nonetheless, there are some great photos.We will definitely return to spend more time here.

I can't wait until the new museum opens. The old one was great to take the kids too when they were young. However it really needed a facelift. The new museum will rock the kasba.

The museum always changes things up with a theme. So it has the staple good stuff but you can go back more than once because they have special exhibits...a must see in Edmonton

Although there is not much places you can visit in Edmonton, RAM is a nice place to check out. Not very big, but pretty neat.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. Glad to know families are enjoying their experiences at the RAM!
