Visitor tip
Start with the actual dinosaur tracks and footprints displays—the highlight of this venue. Unlike typical museums with bone displays, this site is uniquely built over a genuine dig site, featuring rare baby dinosaur prints and interactive trace fossil exhibits that teach about migratory patterns and daily dinosaur behavior.
Visitor tip
Request an in-depth explanation from staff members about the trace fossils and dig site details. Reviews highlight that knowledgeable staff (like 'Becx') provide incredible insights about the fossils and paleontological significance that enhance understanding beyond what displays alone show.
Visitor tip
This is an excellent stop for children with sensory needs or who need active play. The combination of indoor games, outdoor playground, and open space allows kids to burn energy while learning, making it ideal for families on road trips with young or high-energy children.
