Do you have a dinosaur-obsessed kid? Several Alberta Mamas either have or had one. There have been MANY dino-related trips! Alberta’s top dinosaur destination is obviously Drumheller, and what better way to make the trip extra-memorable than staying at a hotel with a sweet water slide?!
With a population under 10,000, Drumheller has more than a typical small town’s share of hotels, but only a couple with water slides. We’ve filtered through to get you a list specifically focused on the pools. Take a look!

Drumheller Hotels with Waterslides
SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Drumheller
Address: 800-680 2nd Street SE
With a range of room options (some with kitchenettes!), typically lower prices, complimentary breakfast, and a shared parking lot with the Ramada, the SureStay Plus is our top choice for a hotel in Drumheller.
It’s a bit more dated than the Ramada, but we try to avoid letting aesthetics get in the way of saving a buck! And having a stove to prepare meals in the hotel saves more than a buck or two.

Ramada by Wyndham Drumheller Hotel & Suites

The Ramada offers a complimentary breakfast and a very well stocked gym.
