I debated about whether or not this deserved a 3 star, or 4 star, review. I felt the price for what you get was high. I thought it was pretty cool to see footprints of dinosaurs that were frozen in time, but my sons were quickly "done." It's a large room that has an above ground walkway above the area they have uncovered. They do a great job of creating a good area of displays...but for small kids, they only think it's cool for a short time until they start asking "Where are the dinosaurs?" I feel like adults will appreciate this more than small kids. I gave them 4 stars because the staff were great, and the facilites were good for what you get...I just don't feel like it's a 5 star event.

This was interesting to me, as an adult. But for the 5 year old, well it was the gift shop. So I'd caution about bringing kids that are too young here. It can be fascinating for the informed but not so interesting for the uninformed or too young. I'm glad it's here. I'll go here about once a year to see what's new. Just be aware that while kids may like the concept of dinosaurs, tracks don't quite enthrall them as much.

This was an incredibly cool place. Watching the short intro movie and reading the plaques showing where to look and the information was very interesting. My wife and I found everything as interesting and cool as our son did. He was so excited about the whole experience and he is still talking all about it. I recommend that if you are in the area that you make some time to check this place out.

Amazing!! There was a very knowledgeable volunteer who explained everything to us. The kids loved it!! We will be back.

This is a great attraction just a few minutes off the freeway. The museum is built over and around a live archeological site, where tracks from hundreds of dinosaurs are preserved. 200 million years of history is on display, with great signage throughout and super friendly volunteers on hand to explain anything you can think to ask. Highly recommended for kids, but anyone can appreciate the importance and excitement of scientific discovery in progress.
