Great experience! The staff went out of their way to accommodate my 3 year old heart warrior and our family and, like other reviews say, were very kind and welcoming. The animatronics are also top-notch, making the price fair for what you get to see. I hope they expand in the future!

Loved it even though it's less than a 5 min walk through

If I could give them 10 stars I would. They were fantastic towards me and my son Jason. The dinosaur displays are amazing. The staff is amazingly professional and friendly. I rate it at the same awesomeness as I would the aquarium. Parents please take your children to Dino discovery and the Aquarium as well. The staff and everything else is totally amazing. Sincerely Jason and his dad

Kind of niche recreation so I would say the entry price of 10 per person 3 or older is fair. If your kid bolts from scene to scene it will feel very short and underwhelming. However if you observe as much as you can and take in each scene mindfully and talk about it a bit one run through can last 10-15 minutes. We went through 3x in about 25 minutes and it was a hit with the kids. I did see someone else mentioned boring backgrounds; it seems the owner has taken this advice and provided backdrops and lighting which I thought added to the experience and submersion. One suggestion I would give the owner is I noticed several children alarmed at first entry. This is likely because if you were 1/3 your size, the snapping and cackling dinosaurs are right by your face the second you enter. It takes kids by surprise in an already suspicious mind set before they begin. I would urge you to replace the second very calm dinosaur and scene with the first one, simultaneously offering a welcoming feeling and allowing children to see the more “scary” dinosaurs from a distance and approach at their comfort level. Would recommend to a friend with small children.

If you have children this is the place to take them. The people that work there are very enthusiastic and love their jobs. They make the experience a wonderful one. The dinosaurs are very professionally done and they come alive

This is the place to take your children. The dinosaurs are beautifully done and realistic. The staff is warm hearted kind and polite to all patrons. Overall there is nothing negative that I could say about this place, I think it’s fantastic for children of all ages.

My family throughly enjoyed what we did see. We just wish there was more to see. We were disappointed that we were done in 10 minutes, we expected it to be a little bigger! It's worth mentioning the staff was friendly which is appreciated

Kids loved seeing all the Dinos, it was small but that didn't matter. The staff allowed multiple passes through and it was almost a new experience each time.
