Tumbler Ridge is home to UNESCO Global Geo Park.

The history was made when the discovery of dinosaur tracks in 2000 by two local boys while playing along Flatbed Creek, led to major fossil and bone discoveries from the Cretaceous Period.

The Geo Park shows British Columbia’s first Dinosaur bone beds, first Tyrannosaur skull, only known Tyrannosaur trackway in the world, and more than 100 dinosaur tracks and footprints which are nearly 135 to 70 million years old.
