We LOVE the Drumheller Valley and we can’t wait to meet you this summer.
When the team at Canalta in Drumheller set out to build a new attraction, we knew we didn’t want it to be just another corn maze. So we started brainstorming what we could really do this community justice. We thought about the family history tied to the area’s first ferry crossing, the grit of the coal rush days, and the dinosaur bones that have been famously turning up around here for generations. Celebrating all of that, the agriculture, the coal, and the dinosaurs, sounded like A LOT of fun, and that is exactly what brought us here today.
So get ready to join us this summer and celebrate everything amazing about the #DRUMHELLERVALLEY with Barney’s Barnyard, Boomtown, and Boneyard. Over 15 acres of unique, badlands-style fun the whole family will enjoy.
Tips for Visiting the Park
BARNYARD TIPS
- Please remember to respect all the animals (They are part of our family, and in some cases, we built on top of their homes)
- The CornMaze isn’t ready until partway through the season (it has to grow)
- You’ll want some pocket change so you can buy animal feed (especially for our goats and sheep)
- Please don’t feed the horses and cows!
BOOMTOWN TIPS
- Gemstone mining is not included in your admission or season pass.
- We serve food, candy and beverages, but you are always welcome to bring your own food or drink into the park.
- All activities are used and played at your own risk.
- Keep an eye out for Gopher holes, we did build on top of their homes.
- Personal alcohol is not permitted onsite
DINO-WALK TIPS
- Please don’t approach, feed or climb on any of the dinosaurs.
- The dig pit and dinosaur experience are included in your admission or season pass.
- Small children (and adults) may get scared by the large dinosaurs.
- Make sure you watch the intro video at the entrance and tour the mulched path through the forest.
