Free! Donations accepted. Great dinosaurs to see. Lots of dinosaurs in a beautiful wooded area that you view at your own pace. Has a gift store on the honor system. Wish we could have seen all of Halloween decorations but it was closed.

Such a great experience for a dino lover like me. They accept donations but do not charge entry fee. There is a picnic table for eating while there, and a gift shop. I can't wait to go back.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How large is the park?

Sharon Whittemore | Nov 1, 2019
Shadus | Nov 1, 2019

It's pretty large, especially if you take the time to wander through all the areas and see everything. I'd say you can spend an hour or more exploring easily if you're checking out the informational stuff and the exhibits.

Is this place handicap accessible?

heaven crick | Nov 1, 2018
Elizabeth Smith | Nov 1, 2018

Down the main I believe it's wide enough for a wheelchair. Some parts are not very wide at all and there are some obstacles you will have to work around but I believe you can bypass those.

How much is it....

Katelyn Woliver | Jun 3, 2022
Julia Dodd | Jun 3, 2022

Just chiming in to second what folks have said, and to say that there are several very reasonable ($1, $3, $5) toys in the gift shop, so in addition to the admission donation I usually let my kids pick out something small. I'll also say that if you're considering going, GO!! It's one of the BEST attractions for kids in the area!!

Hi. The park is mostly gravel there are ramps in some of the steeper inclines. Small wheeled chairs have the most trouble. We are trying to get it paved.

Backyard Terrors and Dinosaur Park | Oct 31, 2020

Backyard Terrors is our business name, so everything we do is Backyard Terror's presents: ect. If you are referring to our haunted event, it has moved to a new location and is no longer at the dinosaur park. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for details.

Artful Mortician | Oct 31, 2020

Will my 5yr old have a gd time??? Is it like the one tht came to Bristol????

Amanda Whitson | Oct 31, 2020
Ashley Hoch | Oct 31, 2020

My son is 2 yrs old and he has a blast. It's not a paved path so you having that feeling of actually walking through a "jungle" and there are placards with all the info about each dinosaur. And there's fossil dig areas. I highly recommend it.

Is the dino park pet friendly?

Jena Jarrett | Nov 1, 2019
Chris Kastner (Backyard Terrors) | Nov 1, 2019

They must be leashed, stay on the path, be good with kids and other dogs ( kids want to pet every dog they see and we have a little bossy Chihuahua as Park security ;) ), any droppings must be removed from the path or where folks walk. Thank you!
