Really interesting facts found here. I like how they left the footprints right where they were discovered, and built on top of to display and preserve. Under the lawn outside is more, but they are still waiting to get the funds to display then.
The service is very friendly. Like they don't want you to leave kind of friendly.
The trails are short but beautiful. Just avoid the trails after rain since there are swamps, and you'll get bombarded with gnats. Otherwise, perfect, and extremely well maintained. They even clear the leaves from the trail.
The admission to the museum is cheap, at only $6 for adult at the time I wrote this.
Might go again.
This place is great! We very much enjoyed it. Lots more there than just the foot prints. Other fossils ect. The staff is great and helpful and supplied most the materials we needed to make a casting of a dino print. Worth checking out. Also loads of trails to explore, though we spent 2hrs and didn't have time for them.
The trails are good, the museum not so much: dated and dusty => looks sad in and out. Better to scrap the whole thing and focus on the trails. For Dino hunters, best is to hit the road to New Haven and visit the Yale museum of natural history.
Great place to visit with the kids, the trails are well preserved and gives you an idea in how everything looked millions of years ago. Exhibit was a little bit shorter and some of the screens didn't work, it would be nice if they have more resources. Pretty interesting.
A nice park. Not very big but was enough to hold the attention of my 5 + 11 year old niece and nephew. They actually enjoyed the wooded trails over the fossils and dinosaur tracks. Of course the gift shop was a hit as well! This park has been a family tradition for each of our past 3 generations since it was built! You'll like it.
The museum it's really small. Not much to see accept the dinosaur tracks. The hands on activities can be better. The trails are great especially if you have little kids.
A fun place to visit, especially for children. I mean, what's more cool than seeing an actual footprint from a real dinosaur? Of course, those are rare and need to be protected, but you can make a plaster copy to take with you. There's also a couple miles of hiking trails, with some gentle paths as well as some difficult terrain along a narrow lose-rock type trail.
This is NOT the good dinosaur park. While it may be more educational, young children will grow bored of it very fast. To give you a summary of this place: while constructing a new government building, the workers found dinosaur footprints. That's it. No fossilsjust footprints
The park you want to take them to is "The Dinosaur Place at Nature's Art Village."
The park is not very big. The museum is smallish too. If you live close by worth the trip. On weekends they have free lectures about dinosaurs and archeology. Good for kids.
I love to be outside on the trail. Dinosaur park trails are well marked and there is plenty of space to stretch my legs. Come here to get outdoors.
Beautiful place, super friendly staff. All except one. Some guy walking around with a leaf blower. We had 2 interactions with him. The first, he said "I don't think it's a good idea she climb the trees", referring to my 4 year old tree climbing love. So I asked her to get down and let it roll off my shoulders. A few minutes later, he came by and she happened to be picking a flower. He said "don't pick any flowers". We were leaving, so I just continued to leave. I'm not one who had an issue with authority, but this guy was just overbearing.
The other staff was all super kind, inviting, helpful. One man even found my daughters fairy wand and walked all over to find us. I would go back! And hope not to see the grounds guy
Once we visited paying full price. Next time on their free day (some anniversary). Well maintained. Good programs for kids. Never fails to amaze kids and adults alike.
