Meet the most famous dinosaur in the world.  

SUE the T. rex is the most complete, best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex ever found. And this summer, SUE is coming to Calgary.

SUE: The T. rex Experience was organized by the Field Museum and is part of the Griffin Dinosaur Experience, made possible by the generous support of the Kenneth C. Griffin Charitable Fund.

This fearsome fossil is ready to eat, er, meet you.

What's waiting for you

Come face-to-face with a legend

Stand beside an exact cast of SUE's complete skeleton — 40 feet long, 13 feet tall at the hip, and more accurate than ever thanks to the latest scientific discoveries.

Dig into new science

SUE was found in 1990, but researchers are still making discoveries. The updated skeleton now includes gastralia — belly ribs that make SUE look bigger and more powerful than ever before.

Use all five senses

Smell prehistoric plants. Hear — and feel — the deep rumble of SUE's growl. Touch bronze casts of real fossil bones. Scientists have even recreated what SUE's breath smelled like.

See a T. rex in action

A full-size, fleshed-out replica shows a T. rex mid-hunt, taking down an Edmontosaurus. This is what 68 million years ago looked like.
