Even if you do not know anything about Dinosaurs, this place is the place to visit. You will come away with some knowledge, even souvenirs, and if a birthday or some other important date is in your calendar, you will end up buying the perfect present for that day
This is our second Dinosaur park. This one was more for little kids to actually see dinosaurs and not too much history and bones. These are fully constructed dinosaurs. The place is a little pricey and they do have military discount. Huge place to shop for dinosaur memorobilia. They have a sand pit where you can sift for fossils and shark teeth. The kids only get to keep 3 items that they find and its loaded with teeth and tiny fossils. Overall, it was good family fun.
This place was rad. We just went with three grownups and no kids and had a blast. Plus all the dinosaurs were out in their habitats even though I was cold (unlike stupid Fossil Rim Safari down the road). The animatronic dinosaurs inside the museum were super rad. They have a "realistic" giant robotic diorama of a Triceratops defending its babies from a T Rex while a pterodactyl watches over them flapping it's wings and screeching. That alone was worth the admission price.
As an adult I figured this would be kinda boring but was interested. Was surprised when told I got in free with Military ID! If you have kids they will love it, but be warned you go through a huge store FULL of toys! The museum was interesting to me, but probably not for children. I was impressed with the dinosaur walk. I learned a lot, and had no idea how many dinosaurs there were. Most are extremely lifelike, and are very well staged to look natural. Some so much so, that it was easy to imagine what it must have looked like when they roamed earth. Great photo ops. I would not suggest this trip in summer mtgs heat. It is handicap accessible. There are fossil digs, gem mining, and things for kids.
My family and I took a Tuesday to make the drive to Glen Rose and visit Dinosaur World. We basically had the whole place to ourselves. The staff was friendly and the walking tour was so much fun for the kiddos. They loved discovering a new dinosaur around every corner!Cute place for a family day trip!
My 4 granddaughters were more impressed with the playground which is a fun place. Admission prices are high. If your kids love Dinosaurs then I would suggest going. Try to find coupons to reduce your cost!
This is geared primarily to small children and not worth the pricey admission. I understand there is a discount for military.
We all take the dinosaur era for granted and do not think about the difficulties these proud animals had to face. This site was an eye opener into this time period.
I took my 3 yr old and 8 and 11 yr old and they all had fun. I had come here four years ago and enjoyed it but they have upgraded the museum and added the boneyard and another dig area. The additions added a lot more for kids to enjoy. The whole park is very well kept and clean and easy access for young and old. It is worth a stop.
When you enter, there is a gift shop directly in front of you, which I assume is a sales strategy. There is a "fossil dig" for children and a dinosaur walk. There is also a museum which may frighten small children.
