Exhibition Website

Travel back in time and explore the Cretaceous world of the most famous Tyrannosaurus rex, Sue.  Through advanced robotics and cutting-edge face recognition technology, come closer than you ever thought possible to raptor dinosaurs, Triceratops, and-of course-T. rex, as they react to your every move, sizing you up as friend, foe, or their next meal. Revel in the sheer size of Sue's 42-foot-long and 12-foot-tall, fully articulated, life-size skeleton cast; experience Sue's movement, vision, and sense of smell; and come face to snout with these colossal beasts in this brand-new dinosaur experience.
