Reviews for East Coulee School Museum in East Coulee, AB
Nice well preserved museum with a little cafe inside. Informative peice of history and nice to see how the miners kids went to... school but my 3 &5 kids were not overly thrilled. I would not go out just for this but if your going to the mine which is closeby not bad for a quick stop over Read more
The only place to hold REAL dinosaur bones... So me and my nephew came to visit this place to learn some of the history of the... area. My nephew is 9 and this was the highlight of our trip to the Drumheller area. He asked about how haunted the school andabout the kids who went to that school back when it was running and the ladies working there answered all his questions. Theywere so informative and lovely! They absolutely made his day. But what's even cooler then the history of the school and seeinghow people lived in olden times is the fact one of the locals donated dinosaur bones he had found years ago on his property thatthe school displays and even let's you hold! Unbelievable! We held real dinosaur bones. Stop by here and take the tour. It's areally amazing educational experience. Read more

Nice little cafe/tea room The lunch special is Turkey or ham per made sandwich, drink and dessert for $10. Could have more food... section.. it?s not a tea room or there was no local tea to pick from ? need more homemade meals ? We did not do the school tour?. But the school was not busy with tours ? More information about the tours needs to posted on social media about this hiddengem in the badlands? The gift shop could use more local small business gifts for sell ? Read more
I loved coming here to tour around the school. It truly provided a unique opportunity to see the world from not so long ago... past. I would also recommend to visit "Treasures on Centre" for Kelly Krueger's beautiful glass work! Thank you so much! I willbe back! Read more

Love the "old day playground"! There's actually a newer playground just right across this Museum. Kids can experience what... their parents or grandparents used to play. My daughter love the slide! Inside the Museum, it's not big but good enough tofeel the school in the past. There's even a room full of Coal Mine information. Gift shop is must see! There're some old booksfor sale which you could find some great books there! They also sell pretty lamps and soul stones. Read more
