Sue Discovery Dig
May 27-September 5, 2005

Join a spectacular dinosaur expedition—and help unearth a full-size replica of our famous T. rex, Sue!

Under a big outdoor tent on the Museum's southeast terrace, this 5,900-square-foot, activity-based dinosaur dig has something for every family with children ages 4-15. Junior paleontologists can pick up their field tools and get to work uncovering Sue's buried bones, then head to the fossil preparation lab to finish the job, unpacking and cleaning a variety of T. rex bones. Our dinosaur team will be on hand to help kids identify fossils, examine their finds, and record their observations.

Toddlers can burrow in the sand and find dinosaur bones close to the surface, and parents are welcome to join in. It's a great summer activity for the whole family at the Field. Explore the Sue Discovery Dig website.
