Fun little thing to see and do. The package deals are great. The rock sifting is worth the money, you get so many rocks! The sculptures are super cool to see. Put put golf was fun as well. The best part for us was...there is dairy free ice cream!

Childhood favorite and I have continued the tradition with my children. The path of sculptures is an amazing and fun walk back in time. There is also a really cool wooden castle playground right across the street that my children have always loved to visit.

Throwback to America before the freeways.... handmade large dinosaurs most built over 70 years ago - along a 1/2 mile wooded trail (81 year old attraction). Each dinosaur has a plaque with information. This is great for little kids; ones that have seen dinosaur cartoons or played with toy dinosaurs - man, watch their eyes light up and see them run around the place. Great craftsmanship - built to last. There's one dinosaur you can climb up into! Besides the dinosaurs - there's miniature golf - which is just so-so - and a gold rush type thing. Gift shop has ice cream and frozen yogurt. Plan an hour...

Cool place to bring the kids, little and big. We did the upgraded package which includes a walk through the dinosaur garden, mini-golf, fossil dig, and mining for gems. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The displays are old but the history is there from days of old. A worthwhile stop when in the area.

Britany Bird | Jun 21, 2021

We paid for the kids to do everything which included the Dinosaur walk, putt putt golf, a fossil dig, and a stone mining. The kids had a blast. I don't think you can get the tickets online.

How long does it take to go through the park?

Carole Waite | May 17, 2020
Bill R | May 18, 2020

You probably could get through pretty easily in about 20-30 minutes, but you can really take as long as you need as long as the attraction remains open.

I tried to find admission price and other packages. I need to know how much for 1 senior, 1 adult, and 2 kids under 10 before traveling 100 miles. Budget is a major issue in 2021. Where is the price list?

Linda Rowgo | May 17, 2021
Kathy I | May 18, 2021

Will try to find out for you. I'm not sure about their winter months, if they are open. Edited-Their site gives the prices. And says that they are closed for the season and reopens in May of 2021.

Are you forcing people to wear mask?

David Otto | May 17, 2021
Sierra Puckett | May 18, 2021

It's up to the state if you have to wear masks indoors, not the dino gardens. You do have to wear a mask indoors to buy your ticket and be in the gift shop, but being outdoors is really open and there's plenty of space to social distance. You shouldn't need one outdoors!

Is the mini golf course wheelchair accessible?

B Bond | May 18, 2019
Dinosaur Gardens (Owner) | May 19, 2019

Hi this is Gary, the owner of Dinosaur Gardens. Your answer to if the Mini Golf course is handicap accessible is that in my opinion, it is not. There are a couple of elevations that would make it hard to get to on a push wheelchair. The former owner who built the course incorporated boulder like borders around the course that would make it hard to participate as well. I would think if you had a power track or wheel chair, you could get on all 18 holes and play. Thanks for your interest in Dinosaur Gardens. We are always looking at ways to improve the property and we will keep this in mind when we redesign/update the Putt-Putt golf course. P.S. The rest of the property is handicap accessible.

Hi Toni. We love to see our guest enjoy their time spent at Dinosaur Gardens. Great question that I can answer. We do provide a couple of picnic areas on property. One area is by the bridge crossing the Devil's River and the other is up by the Miner's Sluice. You are welcome to bring your own picnic supplies and beverages.
