Experience the World’s Largest Dinosaur

Officially opened October 13, 2000, The World’s Largest Dinosaur was a millennium project. This attraction was the brainchild of a group of Drumheller business owners and through the determination of many volunteers and funding from many sources, the project came to fruition.

Owned and operated by the Drumheller and District

Chamber of Commerce, the towering 86-ft T. rex overlooks the beautiful Drumheller valley and the downtown core. Welcoming over 100,000 visitors each year, the unique attraction features paintings and fossils along the interior walls of the dinosaur for the young and young at heart to experience. Less than 9 years after opening, the World’s Largest Dinosaur celebrated its one millionth visitor.

On August 27, 2018 Mr. Eran Rosenthal of Israel was the 2,000,000 th visitor to make the trek up the 106 stairs to the mouth of the dinosaur.

Not only has the World’s Largest Dinosaur offered a yearround tourism experience for visitors to Drumheller, it has also provided funds back to the local community.

In 2005, after the million-dollar project was paid for, the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce established the World’s Largest Dinosaur Legacy Fund. Since then, the Legacy Fund has reinvested over $600,000 into local capital projects. These funds have included a $250,000 contribution to the construction of the Badlands Community Facility. Now that’s something to ROAR about!

A befitting gift

In the summer of 2018, CMI Publishing was invited to sponsor the highly anticipated celebration to recognize the two millionth visitor to The World’s Largest Dinosaur. As friends and business associates, we were thrilled to be a part of this special occasion. CMI’s contribution to the prize package was two Diamond Willow hiking sticks hand-crafted by our local business rep, Dan Clements.

We would like to thank Debbie for the opportunity to be a part of this memorable event and wish her, and her staff continued success in the future. Congratulations from your friends at CMI Publishing.
