Eating:
We love the Patricia Pit (the Patricia Hotel's Bar and BBQ). Serves typical BBQ stuff, including Bison. The twist is, it comes raw and you cook it yourself on the BBQ in the back. Delicious food, great value, and hilarious atmosphere.
In town, our favourite place to eat is O'Shea's which is right on 2nd street west, in front of a large hotel and next to McDonalds. Regular Irish Pub stuff. Good beer selection.
In the Park, there is a Concession which is about a bazillion times better than it's ever been in the last few years. I ate there recently and had the most wonderful veggie egg and cheese wrap the size of my head, and a side of shredded hashbrowns with green onion and cheese on top, all for under $10. Totally delicious, inexpensive and homemade!
Stuff to do:
There is a large lake 15 mins south of Brooks called Lake Newell. It is the home of Kinbrook Island Provincial Park, which has camping and a great swimming beach. Also a concession of a more average variety.
When in DPP, you should really try to take a tour or at least walk one of the self-guided trails, or drive the public loop road. This park is a world heritage site and has more dinosaur fossils than anywhere else on Earth! My tour reccommendations are the Fossil Safari, especially if you like exploring or have kids, and the Bus tour, which takes 2 hours and shows you all around the park. You will see lots of fossils on both. To book go to dinosaurpark.ca and either book online or call the number listed.
We can't wait to see you! 11 days now!
