T.rex Discovery Centre

The T.rex Discovery Centre houses numerous fossil specimens and exhibits, including a complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton named Scotty, within its research facility.

Local teacher Robert Gebhardt discovered the remains of Scotty, a Tyrannosaurus rex, during a paleontological expedition in the Frenchman River Valley in 1991.

The center operates educational programs about dinosaurs and geological sciences while acknowledging its position on Treaty 4 Indigenous territory in Saskatchewan.

Visitors can observe paleontologists working in the research laboratory, participate in fossil excavation activities, and explore the natural trail around the facility.

Scientists determined that Scotty, at 8870 kg and 13.2 meters in length, represents the largest and oldest Tyrannosaurus rex specimen currently known to science.
