Lisa DuperryJuly 4, 2013Bring bathing suits for adults too - the splash pad is great! Toddlers want accompaniment and you get really wet. So much fun!!!
Jen TroesterJune 30, 2013They make the kids wear shoes in the splash pad, so make sure you bring some water shoes or you'll have to use their assortment of flip flops. They also don't let kids run in splash pad. "Boring"
Matt ZupkaAugust 31, 2014Like dinosaurs and a good time? This place is for you! Great for kids. It's a bit expensive; but worth it once a year.
Johanna N.November 25, 2014Nice nature walk with awesome playground. I'm glad I had been gifted passes from a friend, as I don't this place is worth $20/person.- Caitie LizabethAugust 15, 2013Awesome place. Love the trails with the dinosaurs and awesome splash pad for the kids to cool off.
Maria MirandaApril 12, 2010Rain/shine fun for kids of all ages. Outdoor park with life-sizes dinosaurs, splashpad and maze. Indoor activities from panning for gold to uncovering a fossil. Jewelry/shopping...snacks & ice cream! Read more
Donna Reinhard CardinaleAugust 26, 2013Cute place. Lots of dinosaurs. My daughter (8) was mostly interested in the cool playground & the large splash pad. $20 price tag seems steep for what's here.- Mystic Country, ConnecticutSeptember 26, 2011People love to take their photo in front of Monty the T-Rex, but there are 30 more life-sized dinosaurs in their Outdoor Dino Trails.

Never been to a splash pad with so many rules! Ridiculous when it's all "use at your own risk" anyway. $$$
Monika M.May 3, 2014For 15 bucks a pop the sounds on the exhibits should actually work. But otherwise very nice. Just pricey .
