Dinosaurs of BC is a travelling exhibition produced by the Royal BC Museum. Special thanks to the generous support of the Government of Canada (Canadian Heritage) and Chances Casino for making the rental of the exhibition possible.

ROAR!!! Step back in time with the Dinosaurs of BC!

Dig into prehistoric British Columbia and get up close and personal with the dinosaurs that once roamed the province’s highest peaks, densest forests and most remote river basins. Through research done by the Royal BC Museum’s palaeontology team, we’re learning just how many ancient creatures once called these lands home. Follow the footsteps of tyrannosaurs and ankylosaurs, see beautifully preserved marine fossils and meet ‘Buster,’ BC’s own reigning resident ferrisaurus.
