SUE: The T. rex Experience

June 16, 2023 – January 7, 2024

Meet SUE, the most complete and best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex ever found, and journey through Hell Creek, South Dakota, one of the most well documented ecosystems from the age of dinosaurs. Learn how SUE survived their challenging and dangerous world, living to old age despite the odds.

Walk alongside a larger than life mural showing the lands SUE once called home, feel their skin, smell their breath, and see SUE face off against their most formidable nemesis, Triceratops. See for yourself why SUE is truly one of a kind.

SUE: The T. rex Experience was organized by the Field Museum and is part of the Griffin Dinosaur Experience, made possible by the generous support of the Kenneth C. Griffin Charitable Fund.

Included with general admission and membership.

SUE: The T. rex Experience is located on the third floor.
