Location
Visitor tip
Bring a rider stroller for children under 5 if visiting in warm weather. The terrain is expansive and hilly, making it difficult to carry young children. An all-terrain stroller significantly improves the experience.
Visitor tip
Book a guided tour to access exclusive dinosaur sculptures at the top of the property that are only visible on tours. This provides significantly more value than self-guided exploration.
Visitor tip
Pack extra clothes and be prepared for muddy play if visiting with toddlers who enjoy water play. The property has rain puddles that are irresistible to young children.
