The World's Largest Dinosaur is alive and well in Drumheller! Go to the Visitor's Center, pay $2.00, and climb the dinosaur's inside stairs for a view out his mouth. Be sure to visit the Drumheller Hoodoos (they take millions of years to form and stand 5 to 7 metres tall) and the Royal Tyrrell Museum (with ten galleries devoted to palaeontology, 40 dinosaur skeletons, and more than 110,000 fossil specimens).

The World's Largest Dinsosaur has plenty of company all around Drumheller. The record-holder stand over 80 feet tall, but another T-Rex nearby measures a more life-like 20 feet. In the photo, the t-rex in the back actually stands four times as tall as the nearer one.
Dinosaur pop up all over town: on street corners; as lawn ornaments; in front of businesses; and busting through the wall of the IGA Supermarket.
