The T.rex Discovery Centre is the home of the world’s largest tyrannosaurus rex, Saskatchewan’s own Scotty the T.rex, and his impressively large skeleton will once again be on display at the Eastend museum on May 18.
Scotty’s recent triumph as the largest specimen currently discovered was announced in March of this year, and currently, the Discovery Centre is the only place to see him.
The Discovery Centre is planning a number of activities throughout the summer to showcase the area that Scotty called home about 65 million years ago.
May 18 — opening day — is International Museum Day, and the Centre is planning a number of family activities, including a hot dog lunch in the morning.
Canada Rocks, a celebration on July 1, is sure to be worthwhile. Dino Days will take place on July 26-28, as well as celebrations for two of Scotty’s own milestones: July 27 is the 25th anniversary of his excavation, and August 16 is his 65,000,028th birthday.
There are also a number of walking trails around the area, to see what kind of place Scotty walked through before becoming a fossil, and a number of other cool creatures from the Cretaceous period to visit and learn about.
The Discovery Centre is open every day, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., until Labour Day, and admission is by donation. More information about the Discovery Centre and its upcoming activities can be found on their website.
