Business Review

I found this place on Google by accident, and turned out it is an awesome find! I took my kids and their friend there, and we ended up spending 6 hours there (10am - 4pm). There are so much to do with just the general admission tickets. We spent time at each activity and the kids go back to the places they like again and again. At lunch, we had the best dino nuggets and fries (chicken nuggets in dinosaur shapes)! They really cooked it fresh! Come and enjoy a of great fun with your kids! It is a blast! - Jack C. 


My wife and I met some of our kids and their families here for a birthday party. This is definitely a fun place and there is a lot of learning possibilities avaliable. The staff was friendly, courteous and were scattered throughout for any assistance if needed. We didn't get to see everything on this visit, but we plan to come back and visit again. We had no idea this place was here, but happy to know, and will tell others about it as well. - George D. 


Great place for any child who likes dinosaurs! Suitable for children with special needs too. Park is completely fenced in. There is a range of activities from dinosaurs that move, dinosaurs to ride, a drawing room, panning for fossils and minerals, play rooms, and inflatable maze and obstacle courses. A great experience for the price. - Liz A
