You can see the love and attention that was put into this roadside attraction. The interpretive signs were educational and the historical timelines really put the evolutionary chronology in perspective. I was very pleased we stopped in today. this would be a great family activity. Give yourself an hour or so to take it in.

Super cute and fun place to stretch your legs. Great for dogs too! Loved the dinosaurs. And a great kitschy gift shop.

This place is RAD. I’ve heard about “the dinosaur place” on 101 but never actually found it. My husband and I stopped by yesterday and were impressed by the state of the gardens, the expanse of information, and the reasonable ticket prices. Sure, it’s a silly roadside attraction about dinosaurs, but we absolutely loved it. It’s a great place to stop off and stretch your legs, and makes for great memories!

Our special family day trips are to Prehistoric Gardens and Arizona Pond for the kids a little fishing and picnic. we love it. Each generation has just as much fun. The gift shop needs more reasonably price items. when traveling with 8 children can't afford a treat.
