💬 What Parents Say
- Wear slip-resistant footwear for the Splash Pad and bring socks for T-Rex Tower to comply with venue requirements and stay safe
- Plan for gravel pathways throughout the grounds - strollers are manageable but not smooth, so consider a terrain-appropriate stroller or plan for more walking
- Budget for additional costs beyond admission: train rides and mini golf are extra charges on top of the $35-37 ticket price
- Arrive early to maximize time exploring the dinosaur trails and outdoor play areas, and take advantage of the abundant shade and picnic tables throughout the park
- Don't miss the erupting volcano experience that happens every hour - it's a highlight for kids and worth timing your visit around
