Are you a big fan of Jurassic Park? I am. Dinosaurs intrigue me. I'm not talking about a Clifford like obsession to go to 'Dinosaur World', but I often find myself wondering what it would be like to live in those times and if there really is such a place somewhere on our planet where dinosaurs have been brought back to life.
The closest you can get to such a place is picturesque Alberta, Canada (a 2 hour drive, east from Calgary) which is home to the Dinosaur Provincial Park. There aren't any real life dinosaurs here but the park has the largest known concentration of fossilized dinosaur bones and of other animals that lived in the water and on the land along with the dinosaurs. If you're dinosaur crazy then visit Alberta. You are bound to uncover a wealth of information about dinosaurs and about the evolution of the world that you won't be able to understand or experience sitting at home on the internet.
Apart from the park, Alberta also provides other forms of amusement such as fishing, swimming and waterskiing. After a visit to the dinosaur park you can take a hike and experience the scenery and wildlife of Canada or just laze around fishing for trout.
