Walk Around SUE Interacts with Event Attendees at Swissôtel Chicago

 

Seeing SUE, the world’s largest and most famous T.rex, at The Field Museum is an absolutely must for Chicago visitors, but on June 12, SUE will “escape” to top Chicago hotel Swissôtel Chicago for one of their famous Very Important Kids (VIK) events. A 6.5-foot tall, 13-foot long manned animatronic “Walk Around SUE” will delight event attendees as they meet her personally. This life-sized T.rex will interact with guests, roaring and racing around the Swissôtel Chicago lobby.

 

To celebrate the 10^th anniversary of SUE’s instillation at the Museum, The Field Museum has created RoboSUE: The T.rex Experience, a robotic version of SUE that responds to humans by looking directly at them and reacting to their movements.

 

In addition to the “Walk Around SUE” event, Swissôtel Chicago is now including an all access pass with every Field Museum package purchases. Guests who purchase the package will receive:

-          General Admission to The Field Museum

-          Access to RoboSUE

-          Tickets to 3D film Waking the T. rex: The Story of SUE

-          Admission to the Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age exhibit

-          Admission to the exhibition Underground Adventure

 

The event will take place at the Swissôtel Chicago (323 E Wacker Dr) lobby on June 12 from 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. This event is complimentary to all participants.
