Ok, when my wife proposed this activity to do with my 2 years old, I thought: “yeah he loves dinosaurs and I will do it for him. It will be a pain though.” Actually, absolutely not!!! It was super cool and very affordable. They also have a good shop! Very good stuff to do!
Friendly staff and a very nice array of fossils, dinosaurs, and a giant sea turtle! Informative displays and great activities for kids of all ages! A+!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15

This was a fun, educational, interactive family experience. The exhibits are amazing. The staff is WONDERFUL. So polite, friendly, and helpful. Becky was extremely sweet and accommodating for us. My four year old loves dinosaurs and this was a blast for him. Even my two teens were engaged. I was impressed at the life size replica of all the dinosaurs on the walk..which was so cool. I would definitely recommend and will return when we visit the area again.
Great museum, and an awesome ropes course that's great for all ages. Their knowledgeable and friendly staff make this place a great experience. And the folks running the rope course go above and beyond on safety, some in my family are not comfortable with heights but the team here made it a great time for all of us. To top it off, this place is an amazing value for the experience. This place has become one of our top local area picks for a family fun day, go check them out!!!
Absolutely great stop! I took my 4 and 2 year old and they both had a blast. They were both free for the Dino walk and museum. I paid $12 each for the Dino dog for treasures. They loved finding artifacts to bring home. I was also pleasantly surprised at how fairly all of the gift shop items were priced-many little things for $1-$2. The snack shop was also very fairly priced! I can’t wait to go back!
There are some AMAZING employees at this location, but definitely some that seem to really hate their job and shouldn’t probably interact with the public. We went for an event most recently and we were sad to see how the dinosaurs are in disrepair from our unfortunately hot sun. We also felt the event was poorly coordinated with rules for the raffle changing as time went on. We waited the full 4 hours for the raffle and found out later groups had been able to submit a raffle for each person when we were told one per group. Our one ticket for our group of 4 had no shot against groups of 20 allowed to submit 20 entries. The manager of this attraction should probably weed out the less friendly employees to create a better experience and make sure all their employees are on the same page when it comes to events and rules.
What an amazing day going to the Dinosaur Experience! My family and I had a wonderful time. I couldn't believe all the great displays that were here. So many great fossils and bones to look at and enjoy. The gift shop is huge with lots of different items to purchase as Momentos. There are lots of butterflies that can be purchased as gifts too. Employees were very nice and it was very clean. Can't wait to go again!
Cool experience for the kids. Takes about 2 hours to see and do everything. Fun for adults too. Kinda pricey. Good thing to do to kill some time with the kids if you are passing through.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$21–30
So, this place was AWESOME... but what took the stars down from a 4, was that I stopped in the day before to check it out to see if it was indeed where I wanted to take the grandlittles. VERY long drive! They explained the costs, even marking a sheet w/ what I'd have to pay, per person. Next day, we arrive & pay. As we get to the outside part, we're told that the adults need tickets for the parts that we were TOLD previously, that we did NOT need, since we were only watching the kids participate. So I had to go back in & pay more. Then, the snackbar wasn't open....yet they don't allow outside food?! Wth?! We bought drinks just to get some "snuck in" healthy snacks in, in between activities! You're moving & grooving for hours... you need protein, right?! The dig was cool...but for the $10 extra that you pay, they could allow the kids to fill the bag versus "four items!" I mean. Its mostly rock. The climb things were amazing! The outside employees were super kind & helpful...seemed they cared about safety. The walk was cooler than I thought, though the snake warning signs were overkill & frightened my littles. One would suffice to caution!t Inside was really cool & informative! Loved that a real paleontologist was in the lab that day, & talked to my "future paleo!" The movie was NOT geared for kids....SUPER BORING...but no loss! It wasn't extra. Overall, wish there was one in St Louis as I'd return for sure! Edit to add comment to owner reply: I feel that I gave an accurate & honest review for our visit. Money wasn't really an issue, since we were on vacay...but your employee DID INDEED explain it, incorrectly! She admitted such. I specifically asked if we needed the full package, since I knew that my 55 year old self & my 77 year old mom, were NOT going to do the climbs! LOL She stated that EVERYTHING outdoors could be done as a non- participant for no charge & that I'd, of course, stay with mny 4 year old through it all. Not sure why you don't just simplify your rates and add a true "all inclusive rate" without any ala carte items. For the indoor AND all of the outdoor items. Also, re your snack bar closure... my littles wanted FOOD. We spent from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. there.... and milk or overpriced jerky strips were the only real protein snacks that we saw. We didn't know the area will enough to leave and come back... plus wanted a FAST snack/meal so we could fully enjoy our admissions. Im pretty sure CO would allow an outdoor area for picnics & outside food coming in?! I'm sorry that tou weren't more appreciative of the great things and compliments I said about our visit, & over focused on the negative. It's constructive criticism... run with it. Don't make your customers, who all in all, spent a couple of hundred dollars in admissions, snacks, & gift shop items, feel stupid.
