World's Largest Dinosaur, Steel and fiberglass dinosaur statue in Drumheller, Canada

The World's Largest Dinosaur, nicknamed Tyra, is a Tyrannosaurus rex model of steel and fiberglass standing 26.3 metres tall and 46 metres long in Drumheller, Alberta. Its green back and head shade into a yellow-green belly, and white teeth line the open mouth. The statue rests on a brown support column at the hips, with a 106-step climb from the gift shop to a viewing area inside the mouth.

Groundbreaking took place on October 2, 1999, and the attraction opened on October 13, 2000, after about three years of design and construction under Mayor Phil Bryant. The steel frame was fabricated in Calgary, while the fiberglass skin came from China and the Philippines. A CA$300,000 restoration in 2020 included a new coat of paint.

The statue is nicknamed "Tyra" and is female. Each month 15 percent of revenue from visitors and the attached gift shop goes to the World's Largest Dinosaur Legacy Fund, which reinvests in community economic development. The dinosaur is one of many public dinosaur sculptures placed around Drumheller.

Visitors climb 106 stairs from the gift shop to the viewing area inside the dinosaur's mouth, which holds 8 to 12 people at a time. The mouth is about 60 square feet. The attraction is set to close and be dismantled in 2029.

The dinosaur is female and named Tyra. Its steel frame was fabricated in Calgary, while the painted fiberglass skin was shipped from China and the Philippines and mounted on site. The build cost about CA$1,065,000.
