Awesome experience! We took our son for his birthday and it was worth every dollar. He was so happy. Definitely recommend! 🩷

We also had food and drinks and everything was perfect! 😊

If you like dinosaurs you'll love this place, so good to see huge dinosaurs outside amongst the trees and gardens. Good place for kids to run around. Sandpit digging area, mini golf, miniature train ride around park, plenty of dinosaurs toys to buy in shop etc

It’s actually a very cool place.
The setting, backdrop, almost looks like … a dinosaur world!

Any kid would love it.

If they could reposition the entrance, a little separate from the exit - ie make the exit out of the park into the souvenir shop;
Make the entrance, with some sort of partial barriers from the souvenir shop; to not distract the kids- so that the kids focus is about the park;
Then upon exiting the park, they come hot right into the shop ready to buy anything many things.

Some exhibits did need some maintenance/repairs.

Else if you have kids of any age- highly recommended must-stop-to visit.

1.5 to 2 hrs would be just right.

Check the opening days and hours.

I mean for the ticket price of $18 for adult, I am not sure should I expect for more as it’s like a pinic ground for families with some dinosaur figures around us. The entrance was small to push a pram through and when you got to the 1st dinosaur figure, everyone was standing there watching so it stuck to move forward. The dinosaurs are alright, some movement but nothing really make us wow. We came for the train ride and story time as advertised but it was canceled on the day and we didn’t know in advance so we were disappointed. Kids seemed enjoying the dinosaurs though but I dont think we’ll come back.

Had a wonderful day here today with my family. The dinosaurs are amazing! I cant understand the lukewarm reviews. The grounds are beautiful and meticulously well kept. Great pricing on the Dino shop and food was affordable too. Mini golf was fun and the ride on dinos were a huge hit with my 3yo. We will be back and probably have 4th party here too.

This place is awesome! There's a lot more to do than we expected - animated dinosaurs all around the site, your ticket ($18 adult, $16 child) comes with a one-off mini train ride, there's a playground next to the food kiosk (this area has A LOT of flies though, recommend bringing bug patches, there's other areas with benches next to the lake dinosaurs and further out with shading too, otherwise the area inside the mini golf section has cute dinosaur table and seats that are better sheltered from weather and bugs), there's dinosaur rides where an adult accompanies the child ($5 per ride), mini golf (additional $8), other dinosaur climbing structures, sand pit with play tools provided, puzzles, mini rides (some $2 coins, some have card activations). There's toilets at the entrance before the shop area and toilets within the inside compound paid area too, the ones inside are cleaner and better maintained. Free parking outside. Bring cash as everything has hidden surcharge (e.g. displays $5 on payment machine but appears as $5.30 on credit card statement). Probably more recommended for families with young kids though, older kids/adults may find this underwhelming on their own. We spent a couple hours here, only left cuz they were close to closing really.

There's also a kiosk there which Google declined my map entry for:

Dino Bites Kiosk
This kiosk is inside Dinosaur World (paid area) i.e. entrance fee payable for access. It's fast food, but slow service, though were really glad they were there cuz hot food's always better! They were happy to make anything on the menu that isn't already in the prepped section. Reasonable pricing with good options such as sausage in sliced bread, chips, dino nuggets, dim sims and hot jam donuts. Card accepted.

Price guide (as of Feb 2025)
Dino nuggets (4 pieces) $4
Sausage in sliced bread $4
Cup of chips $4
Hot jam donut $2

Awesome place! My kids and I loved it. Definitely recommend it! A Christmas shop is there, and the Christmas trees outside smell wonderful. The dinosaur's and train ride are great, too.

Wonderful experience for kids. Dinosaurs were animated and life size. Descriptions next to each dinosaur provided a good history into the time when they existed. Play ground, mini golf, mini train all were fantastic experiences for the kids. Highly recommend- plan to spend a couple of hours here.
