Definitely for children. Do not go as a grown person expecting something really cool and magical.

There is a small museum and animatronics section which was cool and kind of scary because they would twitch. They have a gem dig that seemed popular (have to purchase dirt bag) and mini golf section (free with admission I think). Each hole for the mini golf is about 4 feet long and each hole looks almost the same.

The rest of the park is just a horseshoe trail of some plastic dinosaurs in the grass. Some of them look really cool if you believe.

This place was pretty cool in that it had several activities (putt-putt, large play area, dinosaur walk, grave yard, small animated area inside, gem mining and fossil dig). The tickets are pricey but we spent 3 hours here with a 4, 10. 15. 16 year old and 2 adults. Everyone was entertained. The fossil dig only happens at certain times through the day( maybe every 2-3 hours) they sift through sand for 15 minutes and choose 3 favorite fossils (sharks tooth were the primary ones), the gem mining where you sift through the bag of rocks was pretty neat as we got several large nice rocks (better than others I have done).
The animated dinosaur area was small and definitly needed some TLC. The bathrooms smelled like dirty diapers. The 2 staff members were young (teens) while one was friendly and helpful the girl just played on her phone the while time. (Which meant my kids came out the fossil dig with like 10 items bc she didn't care to enforce the 3 limit).
Most of the attractions are outside so make sure weather is pleasant!! The gift shop was very reasonable and had a lot of items. Even if you just stop by the gift shop to get souvenirs you can't go wrong!
The paid attraction is a 1 and done type thing. I can't see a reason to ever go back.
3 stars due to price, inattentive staff, smelly bathrooms. Also I found a 2 dollar off coupon which made the online tickets more expensive when you factor in fees. Just buy there, that way you can decide to do the other paid activities (fossil and gem mining), if you want to do all the ultimate package saves a couple bucks. We did the child ultimate for the 2 little kids and 4 adults. It was like 127$

Nice adventurous place to have fun with kids. They will enjoy about half a mile walk around the park (outdoors), indoor museum to learn history, mining, or fossil digging. Entry could be a little expensive depending on how many people are visiting and is the reason for a 4 star review.

We went to this park the day after thanksgiving in the way back home. My 3 year old was so excited he couldn’t be still and was running down the path like a maniac. The dinosaurs were all so cool with info on each, there were fun and cute games and interactive activities on both ends of the trail as well as a great park. This is the first park I’ve ever seen with so many options for families to have a seat during their stay. And of course, the gift shop was a lot of fun. We got several things there as well. We spent a lot of time in the middle of the trail on the dock feeding the fish and turtles. This was such an adorable place to go and I’m so glad we stopped by. We talked about it many times since we left and intend on going again in the near future.

We all had an awesome time. The boys got to do gem mining and a fossil dig. We loved exploring the park, and all the life size dinosaurs. The store has a bunch of cool items, including authentic, and replica fossils, bones, teeth, etc.

Super awesome experience especially for the kids!! The dinosaurs are life size and surprisingly the colors aren’t warm out from the sun. The kids loved it!

Great park to visit. We originally were going to the Dinosaur Park right up the road but they were at capacity so we visited Dinosaur World instead. My son loved it and all the kids were happy.
