A 33-foot-long Tyrannosaurus Rex is currently towering over passengers and visitors in the pre-security Civic Plaza at Indianapolis International Airport (IND).

Bucky the T. rex, as he’s known, will be onsite at IND until April 11 to help celebrate the 100th birthday of the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, which is the world’s largest children’s museum.

While the airport’s dino is a replica, visitors can see the real Bucky T. rex fossil on permanent display at The Children’s Museum, which actively digs for, prepares, and displays unique and one-of-a-kind dinosaur fossils.

The Children’s Museum offers a cool Dinosphere experience and this week is also debuting a 110-foot-tall Centennial Ferris wheel, making this museum even more of a must-see destination for kids and adults than ever.

Bonus: earlier this week, while the festivities for Bucky the T. rex were underway at IND Airport, Rex, the official mascot of the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, practiced the journey through the airport.

Good work, Rex!
