Bones & Brews Weekend Itinerary

Start your day at the otherworldly Dinosaur Provincial Park and make the most of your time there by booking an interpretive tour. There are a variety of programs for all ages that range from easy to strenuous! This includes guided hikes that offer an up-close and personal experience in the private Natural Preserve area, which gives you your best chance to see fossils in the wild. There are also fun learning experiences for families and enriched learning programs for those who wish to experience the park at a deeper level. Book your tour online to guarantee a spot!

After you’ve worked up a sweat and enjoyed the scenery, explore the exhibit gallery at Dinosaur Provincial Park.

Quench your thirst after a day of adventures by taking a short 30-minute drive back to Brooks to Piston Broke Brewing and relax with a brew on their great outdoor patio – you are encouraged to bring your kids and furry friends! Piston Broke Brewing is the result of two local mechanics’ dreams and passion for brewing quality beer. Their dream started by brewing beers in their basement, and today they operate a thriving brewery and restaurant.

Try their Raspbiscus beer or a Rosé Radler as your summer brew of choice, or opt for a traditional Kickin’ Back Pilsner.  The owners, Craig and Jen, recommend their Cowgirl Candy Chicken Wings, or try one of their specialty poutines.

After your busy day, choose to spend the night at one of our choice hotels – Canalta Brooks, Heritage Inn & Suites, Heritage Inn Hotel & Convention Centre, or the Ramada Brooks!
