Fernbank Museum: Giant T. rex attraction opens in Atlanta
Fierce competitors are headed to Atlanta for the 2026 FIFA World Cup this summer, but a different kind of predator is already locking down territory inside the city.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex has often been called "the king of the dinosaurs," and the interactive exhibit shows why, using massive models, interactive elements, and multi-sensory displays to engage and educate visitors about these fascinating carnivores. You want to see how big a T. Rex could be? Done. You want to hear what its roar might have sounded like? You got it. You want to watch how they might have moved across the landscape? No problem.
