Top 10 Biggest (and Most Magnificent!) Landmarks in Canada (2 of 6)

2. Tyrannosaurus Rex, Drumheller, AB

The debate over where the World’s Largest Dinosaur resides is beyond dispute. It dwells in none other than Drumheller, AB, where the actual T-Rex was known to roam around 66 million years ago. Standing at an impressive 6.1 metres (35 feet) this green, fiberglass ancestor to the modern chicken was first unveiled on July 1st, 1960, which, as all you Canadian patriots know, happens to be Canada Day! T-Rex and 30 other dinosaurs were created for an amusement park that has since closed, but lucky for you they can still be found scattered about Drumheller, famous for its one-of-a-kind Badlands landscape!

3. Big Nickel, Sudbury, ON

Located outside Science North’s Dynamic Earth exhibition is the Big Nickel, an oversized replica of a Canadian 5-cent coin that serves as a giant nod to Sudbury’s mining industry. Since you’ve spent time and money visiting Sudbury, you should tour a real mine. You’ll be putting on some mining boots and taking a journey down into the Earth’s core to see firsthand where nickel (among other minerals!) is mined.
