What parents say

Wife and I took our kids (2.5yr and 4yr) as a last summer hoorah before our first kid starts school. He loves dinosaurs and this ended up being a perfect send off for him. This place has a resort feel to it. The land was so beautiful, I felt inspired to buy a random plot of land to build my own Jurassic Park.

My grandchildren love the dinosaur park. They are age 4 & 6. We were so happy that they participated with the free summer at the museum this year. We stayed until closing and the kids can't wait to go back. They loved everything: dinosaurs, playground, train, splashpad.

There is an entra fee of $5 per kid, $8 per adult. The Bear trail so cute, this is also an educational place , you will learn the different names of trees and plants. There is also Alphabet house that soo cute. They have exciting events every month so you have to check out the website first to take advantage of it.

My favorite part of natures art is Brandon. He answers any and all of my child like excited questions with equal enthusiasm, can't beat that. His insight makes me insightful, and in a room full of fossils and organic specimens the outcome is limitless.
