Moving from Quebec to the west coast and driving from Quebec City to Vancouver from the 22nd to the 28th. We don’t have a huge amount of time for stops, and we definitely want to hit up the Royal Tyrrell museum in Drumheller.
What would you folks suggest as must-see stops along the way? Campsites, lunch stops, places we could spend fifteen minutes or an hour along the way? We’ll be visiting a few friends in Winnipeg and either Calgary or Edmonton; there’s only about an 80km difference between hitting Ottawa (which my daughter has never seen) vs Abitibi (which neither of us has visited). My current thought is to drive hard at the beginning to get through Ontario and the prairies, and take it a bit slower through the west since there’s so much natural beauty to see.
Thanks in advance for ideas!
That museum is great, and Drumheller itself can be fun to stop at and look around. Make sure you grab food before the museum as it can take awhile (you can also pre-order tickets/slots which can help with the line).
If you’re going up to Edmonton, there’s plenty of stuff at West-Ed Mall. My kids loved the water-park+slides and the Lego store. There’s also an amusement park with rides
Yes, I was thinking of that, I went a couple times back in high school. It’ll mostly depend on if we hit Edmonton or Calgary, but I’m sure the kiddo would love it.
