The clearing featuring the life-sized T-Rex model provides the most iconic backdrop for photos.

Insider tips

Wear sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes as the paths through the dino-forest can be muddy or uneven.

Bring mosquito repellent, as the forested area is prone to insects during warmer summer months.

Allow extra time for children to engage in the fossil-digging sand pits, as this is a popular interactive activity.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to navigate the forest paths with standard strollers, as the terrain is rugged and sandy; all-terrain wheels are recommended.

Good to know

The park operates on a seasonal basis, typically opening from spring through late autumn; closed during winter months.

Etiquette

Outdoor-appropriate clothing is expected; climbing on the dinosaur statues is strictly prohibited for safety and preservation reasons.
