World's Largest Dinosaur

The World's Largest Dinosaur is a massive steel and fiberglass statue shaped like a Tyrannosaurus Rex located in this Alberta town. A viewing platform sits inside the dinosaur's mouth, offering a unique vantage point to take in the surrounding landscape.

The statue was completed in 2001 as a tribute to the region's significance in paleontology. The project grew out of the area's reputation for important fossil discoveries that have shaped its identity.

The dinosaur represents Drumheller's connection to paleontology, with fifteen percent of its revenue supporting local community development initiatives.

You can reach the viewing platform by climbing interior stairs that lead through the statue. The views from above allow you to see across the Badlands landscape clearly.

The structure weighs 66,000 kilograms and stands four times larger than an actual Tyrannosaurus Rex, making it the largest dinosaur statue globally.
