This was by far the most beautiful, fun, creative and professionally designed Halloween experience I've ever experienced! Don't miss it.. I would take younger children before dusk . There is something for everyone. It's really long . This is not your ax murderer scaring the life our of you experience but really awesome! It took 10 employees 30 days to set it up .. were really lucky to have this in our community 馃巸馃崄馃А

Since our first visit in 2005, it's become our favorite family tradition! Great for all ages, but especially kids under 13. Children can mine for gold in a realistic gold mine, search for rock gems of all sizes and colors, see life-size dinosaur fossils, explore an outside park where realistic dinosaurs are sitting next to a splash park and jungle gym. There's an amazing gift shop with beautiful gifts for all ages. The ice cream shop has some of the yummiest flavors available. It's an affordable and educational day out for the whole family. Nature's Art and The Dinosaur Place are absolute MUST visits!

This was great for me and my 4 & 7 year old boys. The walk around the lake was the right length with plenty of dinosaurs to see, the maze kept them busy and happy at least 30 mins, and the playground options were fantastic for "sittervising". Friendly staff too. Definitely worth a visit!

We had great weather, and there was a lot to do; playground, jungle gym, splash pads, maze, and 6-hole mini golf($6/person) plus all of the dinosaurs in between! If they read these, it would have been a 5-star review if there were more places for changing by the splash pad... they could easily fit 3 stalls where a bench is in Men's bathroom Lastly, there's a military discount and shop next door. Worth checking it out!

It was a good day out for my dinosaur obsessed toddler!! There was a very good sized trail with dinosaurs all along the trek, with a simulated volcano eruption every hour, a playground area, a splash pad with washroom and changing rooms, a maze, mini golf , melody magic area and caves with dinosaur animatronics which were such a treat!! Overall, such a great day out with so many comfortable benches, picnic tables and a snack cafe.
