Dino-Sue
Attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park
Fun Facts
Disney, McDonald's and the Chicago's Field Museum purchased the skeleton at public auction in 1997 with financial support from Walt Disney World® Resort, McDonald's Corporation, the California State University system, and private individuals.
Dino-Sue is a replica of a real Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton, on display in the DinoLand U.S.A. area in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park.
Pose for pictures with the 13-foot tall, 40-foot long reproduction of the largest, most complete T-Rex ever found. Clocking in at 67 million years, Dino-Sue is the length of a 4-story building.
The History of Sue the Dinosaur
Sue the dinosaur is named after fossil hunter Sue Hendrickson, who discovered the 67 million-year-old skeletal remains of a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1990. It is one of the most famous fossil finds of the century.
With more than 90 percent of Dinosaur Sue's bones accounted for, the find brought forth a tremendous amount of information to what little is known about the species.
Check out our accurate replica of Dino-Sue on display at the Dino Institute near the entrance to the DINOSAUR attraction. To see the real Sue the dinosaur, visit The Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois where the actual skeleton is permanently on display.
