The Tyrrell saw 10,458 visitors walk through its doors, under last year’s 11,091. The Atlas Coal Mine had 675 guests compared to 2010’s 734. The World’s Largest Dinosaur reported slow numbers and although didn’t have visitor numbers yet, said it was lower than last year’s.
“The weekend was very slow, except for when we had nice weather on Saturday,” the visitor centre’s Debbie Schinnour reported.
“It’s hard to say if this is an indication for the rest of tourist season,” said the Atlas Coal Mine’s program director Kelly Eddy. “It was gloomy out, and we are an outdoor site so maybe visitors weren’t so inclined to enter the great outdoors.”
