Dinosaur World

Kathleen Mann

My three and one year old love this place! If you are a local, the season pass is definitely worth it. Or if visiting, it is a fun place to check out for the family. The grounds are super clean and the staff are very helpful, polite and friendly. Along with several large dinosaur models spread throughout the 20 acre grounds, they also have an older kids’ and younger kids’ playground, a small museum with 4 animatronic dinosaurs at the end, a “fossil dig” for little ones where they can shift sand for shark teeth and other small treasures led by a staff member, a water panning station where they can find colored rocks, and a sand pit called the “bone yard” where they can use paint brushes to find a dinosaur skeleton buried under sand. There a couple of vending machines with snacks and drinks and a large gift shop to find something fun for any dinosaur enthusiast. Recommend bringing a cooler with food for lunch if you plan on spending the day at the park. Overall, it is a fun place to bring the little ones.

Amazing setup and beautiful landscape!! We visited this place with our three children (9, 6 and 3 year old). And everyone loved every bit of it. Mind you it was 92F degrees outside when we went there to visit. However, due to the excellent landscape (lots of thick and tall trees and bushes) we could barely see the sun while it was pleasantly mild temperature all throughout the park. There are plenty of dinosaur and ice age animal exhibitions to see and take pictures of. They have gem finding and fossil finding mini section where children can have extra fun activities for additional fee. General admission prices we found to be adequate for the amount of fun we received during our visit. Don’t forget to ask for their military discount if you’re a veteran or active duty member. And even your spouse or significant other with a proper dependent ID can get a small discount, which I found it to be really nice (every bit helps 😊). All in all it was an amazing experience! Highly recommend visiting this place. Be sure to bring lots of fluids and a stroller or a cart if you got small children. You’re going to be walking a lot. 😁

Military get in free! I’ve driven by this place for years and thought it would be a bunch of chipped-paint-cheap-small plastic dinosaurs around a lake. My three and one year old LOVED it. Perfect place to take children under 5. It’s divided up into two chunks—there is a playground as soon as you walk in (yes!!) followed by a walking trail of dinosaur species in the back. Dinosaurs are clearly well cared for (no chipped paint!) and they feature ones that I’ve never heard of…so that was kinda fun to learn new things. There is an option to “upgrade” your ticket and do a rock discovery activity in the middle of the park. We purchased that but it was SO busy with people and the kids wanted to hit the trail right away so I do regret doing that upgrade because we never did it. If you have kids over 5, it would be worth it to do that extra activity. Could you make a day out of this? Absolutely. It’s also a mile away from Keel & Curley winery which often has strawberries and u-pick options. I am surprisingly pleased and excited to go back.

WOW!! What an experience, the dinosaurs are amazing, the landscape is outstanding as well. The facilities are clean, the playgrounds are great! It was unfortunate that the fossil dig was closed. But the gem excavation was open which is a bonus! Make sure you get your tickets with excavation. There no food here but many clean picnic table, makes for a great family experience.
