    Amazing park! This is my little guy's favorite place to go. His older brothers enjoy going as well. Tons of dinosaurs in a natural setting. There are also little signs that tell about each of the dinosaurs. The detail on the dinosaurs is amazing. My favorite is Blue from Jurassic World. My little one loves the dig zone. Each year it gets better. They don't charge for admission but ask for donations. One guy builds all the dinosaurs by hand and uses the donations to pay for supplies and maintenance. See more..
