History

The Oil Sands Discovery Centre is a great place for fun and learning about Alberta’s top trade. A must-see first stop on your way into town to learn the rich history of the prairie oil sands. Amazing interactive and hands-on displays that are great for kids or the kids inside us all.

Dinosaur fossils, giant combines, simulators, and live demonstrations will make sure you leave McMurray a real prairie rig hand.
