Dinosaur models along easy trails, a small museum, reptiles and a turtle pond. Reviewers say staff keep young children engaged, and toddlers manage the walking. Weekend parking is paid. Tours and gold panning cost extra. Go in the morning before the heat, and bring hats and water.
Life-size dinosaur replicas, a rock/fossil collection and gem-mining sluice — a quirky hit with dino-obsessed little kids.

- A Wild SJ & Sir Winchester★★★★★
Made a visit here with my BFF because she is a dinosaur enthusiast and also loves museums. So this was the perfect combo. All the staff is super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We learned a ton and had a wonderful time, exploring the museum and the gift shop. The staff was also welcoming of my cat, who I kept in my backpack, and he was allowed to view the sites with me. We actually ran out of time due to some other commitments, so we will be back to explore the trails and see the gardens. We did have a moment to check out the nursery, which had one of the most exotic arrays of succulents I’ve ever seen - highly impressive, and they all looked very healthy and are super well priced.

Went on a short field trip with my 6th grade son. We had a great time. The staff were amazing and so friendly. Everyone did an outstanding job at keeping the kids engaged while helping them learn. We hope to return soon with our whole family. Gift shop prices were affordable and friendly enough that everyone can find something. Great experience!
