Best time
Visit on Saturday mornings to experience the dinosaur trail with fewer crowds. Reviewers specifically mentioned having the trail mostly to themselves on Saturday, allowing more time to enjoy exhibits and take photos without feeling rushed.
Visitor tip
Bring your own water bottle—there are no water stations along the trails. This is especially important when visiting with young children or on warmer days, as the trail is tree-lined but exposed in sections.
Visitor tip
Toddlers and young children love this attraction—the life-sized dinosaurs, playground, and fossil-dig area are specifically engaging for this age group. Plan 1.5-2 hours for a comfortable experience with multiple rest breaks along the benches on the trail.
