The dinosaurs are pretty life-like. If you have young children who are interested in dinosaurs than it is a nice day out. There is not much shade on the trails and it was very hot the day we went. Be prepared with lots of water and perhaps a shade umbrella. Fun activitiy stations along the way--LEGO, coloring, trivia, digging for... More

went there on sunday of memorial weekend. it is $25 dollars per person for a jurassic park themed walk through. if you are a 10 year old boy, it might be mildy exciting, but for everyone else, save your money and just go to the museum of natural history. also, the restroom facilities are port a potties, and there isn't...

A fantastic experience but a bit expensive in relation to comparable attractions. Staff was pleasant, helpful, and enthusiastic. Definitely worth visiting at least once for a 2 to 4 hour visit if you live in the area. Definitely worth traveling a distance if you are willing to fill the rest of the day with other local activities.

My three-year son is dinosaur-obsessed and found this place so exciting! It was nicely on the cusp of being convincingly 'real' and thrilling without descending into being terrifying for him! It's not a huge place. That's actually a good thing in terms of my five and three year olds' attention span and walking endurance, but does make it feel pretty... More

I was watching my 6 year old daughter and 1 year old son this weekend while my wife took my other son to his science olympiad, so on a whim I took the other two to Field Station Dinosaurs. Overall I would rate this park average, I disagree that the dinosaurs weren't well done, I thought they were very cool,... More

My 2 1/2 year old loved it! She walked and talked to the dinosaurs and had a blast. She stopped to color in one of the tents and shopped her little heart out in the store. Also took great photos. Little advice - go early and try spring or fall weather. Summer heat might be to much for the little... More

For $25 per adult and $20 per child at the door + $10 for parking we expected fun for the kids and an interesting experience for adults. What we got was 30 min. of walking along a trail with interesting looking dinosaurs. We stopped in to see a show which was very poorly executed. We would not recommend for anyone... More

$10 for parking, $25 per adult, $20 per child over 2 years old. Food is at least $4 per item. Very small cup of Italian Ice is $4! Purchase your tickets 24 hours in advance and you can get a discount. Or visit on Scout Day to get 10% off. Look for deals before going. Lots of dinosaurs to see.... More

"Underwhelmed" is the first word that comes to mind about Field Station: Dinosaurs. It’s a great idea, but poorly executed and reminds me of a traveling circus that folds up once everyone in town realizes that they’ve been had. To be sure, it definitely has a temporary, road-show feel (portable toilets, shipping container-turned-ticket booth). The young staffers could have been... More

My husband and I took our three grandchildren, ages 8,7 and 3 here today. We spent about 4 hours and everone enjoyed the field stations and the dinos. The staff was very helpful. Since we spent 4 hours there it was a pretty good value for the money. We did bring our own lunch, snacks and drinks so that saved... More
