Lucia TheresaJune 30, 2019This is the perfect combination of mid-90’s museum kitsch and actually cool dino-footprints. Don’t go out of your way but if you are in the area, the 6$ entrance fee is worth it.
Foodie MusafirDecember 24, 2017Fabulous place for kids and adults to hike and experience dinosaur tracks. You have videos, short talks and furthermore option to make cast of dinosaur prints.. Average time spent around 2 hours.
- Melanie HOctober 13, 2013We walked the trails and did some letterboxing yesterday and came back for the exhibit today, our boys really enjoyed it! Educational yet small so it held their attention the whole time.
Dee OliApril 5, 2016My son loves dinosaurs and the place was good enough for a 5yrs old. I was disappointed but made the best of our trip. The outside area was also a bit confusing, I thought it was dinosaurs trails.
RachelJune 20, 2015The exhibit itself was very small, but only costs $6 for adults. There are nice hiking trails at the park too.
- Dee OliApril 5, 2016My son loved it but I was left disappointed. At the very least having something scary it's a dinosaur park right?! And the outside area was pretty much just a walking trail : -/
Mike FeldmeierMay 27, 2012A nice little place for kids. Look at the tracks, learn from a couple of exhibits, activities in the playroom, sluice for rocks and fossils
Tim H August 7, 2014My dad took me here when I was a kid. One of my favorite places in CT. I have such fond memories of the state park. Who doesn't love Dinosaurs?!!!- SarahJune 7, 2011so much fun and SO much more affordable than the dinosaur place in oakdale, CT. check out the craft room when the kids are tuckered out from walking!
Kristin GravesMarch 31, 2012Does anyone else find it amusing that the highway signs for the "Dinosaur State Park" are hanging next to signs for the Veteran's Home?
Monica MeyOctober 28, 2011Disappointed. Despite what the name implies, this place is nothing like Jurassic Park.
