Making CENTS- Things to do in Drumheller that wont cost a penny!

We hope you will all be making it to the Canadian Badlands Passion Play this year, but just incase you decide to spend all your money on tickets to the show, I've gone undercover to find you some FREE FUN in Drumheller, Alberta.

                                          1. Rotary Splash Park

2. Drumheller Fountain (Behind the fountain by the bridge is an underpass where you can walk down and watch the river. (the kids always love walking "under the big bridge and coming out on the other side)     

3. Rosedale Suspension Bridge (also called the swinging bridge by locals) 4. Hoodoos
5. The views from Horsethief Canyon are priceless, (Most visitors visit Horseshoe Canyon, another wonder just outside Drumheller as well)
6. Midland Coal- There are 2 spots seperated by a gravel road when you turn right off of Dinosaur Trail on your way out to the museum. Be sure to stop in and check out the building to the right but there is also a walking tour and artifacts from the old coal mine that once sat there.
7. The Little Church-  The "Biggest Little Church in the World" seats thousands. . . six at a time. It is located on North Dinosaur Trail just past the museum.

8. Find all the downtown Dinosaur statues
9. Picnic at McMullen Island or Newcastle Beach (overgrown beach here, still usable if you bring some towels to sit on and shallow enough for the kids to walk around and play in the river)
10. Drive the 11 bridges to Wayne
11. The Bleriot Ferry-Named after famous French pilot and balloonist Louis Bleriot, this is one of the last remaining cable-operated ferries in Alberta.
12. Hill Climb- many a childs summer are spent in these hills if you are a local from Drumheller.

13. The Nature Trail- There is a walking path that spreads through all parts of Drumheller, but our favorite section is walking from in behind the splash park along riverside drive. Halfway through it connects to a beautiful treed path along the Red Deer River. (Great for pictures too).
14. Tennis courts near the pool
15. Farmers Market every Saturday

16. Volunteer- The Canadian Badlands Passion Play is a great way to camp for free, meet a community of friends, all while volunteering for 1 or 7 days during the summer performances.
