What visitors say
Really cool park. Big splash pad with lockers available (not sure if u had to pay extra for them). Big outdoor play area for kids of all ages. The play area had plenty of seating for parents and was very clean. The trails were very nice…
Such a fun EXPERIENCE! Great Shopping too! I hadn't been there for a few years as my daughter is grown but going back to get GC for a family day trip for our grandkids made me realize this 'gem' is something worth going multiple times…
We took our little ones to The Dinosaur Place today, and they had an absolute blast! It's seriously a fun spot for kids – their eyes just lit up seeing all the dinosaurs. And honestly, we grown-ups learned a thing or two as well!…
