Drumheller supposed to be really worth a visit and what about some of the National Parks too.

LONG daytrip I would say, and not so much worth a Visit since her MooChoperness left. (She was the last living dinosaur you know )

I was just going to suggest Elk Island....It is quite a bit of time in the car though isn't it@

If you go be careful...Last time I was there I turned around from a bbq to find two huge buffalo (or bison whatever...) strolling over to investigate me...!!! Got to love wildlife huh!!?

I guess it depends how close you are to Hwy 16- it's only 20 mins for me in Sherwood Park.
Know what you mean about the buffalo though. They blocked the road the first time we went....

45mins from st. albert if that helps at all. we had a nice day with a 9yr old, but make sure you take your mossy spray, the huntsman good stuff or you will be eaten alive. and a picnic.

Well worth the visit, but it would be a pretty long way. I love the scenery around there.
