My kids were looking forward to seeing the dinos but the museum isn't even open anymore. If you go to their website it fails to mention this. My husband and I kept driving around looking for it unable to find it. The GPS kept taking us to the aquarium instead. I finally went into the aquarium and asked them. They... More

It was a real disappointment. Wished we would have read the reviews on this one. It had some things in there but you can walk the entire thing in about 20 mins. The activity center that we thought we would go for was not much. The box of sand to dig for fossils was small and high off the ground.... More

Waste of money and time. I got discount combo tickets, for Dinosaur Museum and the Monster Aslyum, admission for 6 to both for $36 through a local radio station. Took my 3 teenage boys and my brother and sister-in-law. Got there and the discount tickets had a disclaimer regarding being charged tax and a service fee at the facility. They... More

So this is a two part attraction - a Dinosaur Museum and a Monster Asylum. The guy behind the counter was nice enough but that is about all I have positive to say. Dino Museum - nice large statues of dinosaurs, dino heads, skulls and the like. There is a short movie and each display has several informational plaques with... More

My daughter, who was kind of scared, got great encouragement from the staff at the front desk. The lady let her walk into the first room to make sure she wouldn't be too scared to go through before we payed, and another girl went and petted one of the dinosaurs to show my daughter it wasn't scary. The museum itself... More

I was very unimpressed witht he dinosaur museum. First it isn't very big. I could have walked through the dinosaur part with about 15 minutes. Maybe a little longer if I stopped to read every single thing. Second, the facilities were very poor. The dinosaurs were nice. They were life size and looked neat. No animatronics though. The rest of... More

First mistake...the Guy behind the counter tells me the price; $15 more than the price quoted to me over the phone. When asked why he said "Oh did they quote you the "local price"? So he happily charges me $37 and some change. At the entrance of the attraction it says in big bold words " NO REFUNDS". Now I... More

I was hesitant to go to this place, but great-grandma wanted to treat our grandson. He totally enjoyed it. It is a self-guided walk through with information about the different types and models of dinosaurs. There was a room with a box of sand and the kids could search for fossils buried. Our grandson thought it was a lot of... More
