Great Covid friendly activity for family with young kids. Life size dinosaurs big and small that you can walk around/touch/go under. Each one had a sign with information in French and English. To get into the park area you briefly pass through a building so bring a mask (if going during Covid!)
Getting there:
It was an easy drive from Barrhaven (1hr), we went on the Civic Holiday so although it was busy, we easily found parking and had lots of space to walk/social distanced.
Getting Around:
We spent just over an hour there. I’ve heard people spending up to 2 hours depending on the speed/energy of your children. The path is easy to follow and lots of people had strollers. No steps, all flat surfaces with slight hills/ramps along the path. Two porta-potties are in the parking lot before you enter. Bring bug spray for inside the wooded area. We didn’t find them too bad but have heard from people they can be bad depending on the day.
Cost:
Cost was $10 per adult and I believe $6-8 for children 4+ (3 and under is free). CASH ONLY!

We took our two year old here after driving past from a family trip and seeing signs for it a few weeks prior. It will not disappoint! Our Daughter loved it and asked to go back again the next day.
Some of the dinosaurs do look a little funny but i feel that this is part of the charm!
We managed to spend two hours here, and our daughter would have been happy to have spent much much longer as when we had finished she asked to go round again.
We met the guy who owned it and he seemed really nice and genuine.
The only negative thing i have to say is i wish people would respect the dinosaurs and not let their kids climb on them. obviously these people have worked hard to make them and having bad behaved kids breaking them must be really annoying.

Definitely a fun place to stop on a road trip. It’s a lovely 40 minute walk with two teens and a 3yo... they all had fun! Life size statues of dinosaurs are quite impressive. The picnic area(closed du to COVID) is set in a beautiful parc. There is a big sand patch for kids and the restrooms were old but clean. It felt like this attraction has reached the next level of its life... in the sense that it could use some interactive activities and a couple of rides but that’s just an opinion and takes nothing away from the fun of it.

We spend a rather enjoyable couple of hours exploring the various dinos they had. The property was beautiful and the trail meandered through the forest. Other than the man eating mosquitos it was fun. Came out of there covered in but bites. However it had rained the night before so that may be why there were so many. But despite the bugs, we had fun.

This park is well maintained and a fun experience for the kids. A beautiful walk for everyone. Spent about an hour walking the trails (did the loop twice) bugs weren’t bad at all (middle of august)

This was a much anticipated but disappointing adventure. It looks like it is run out of his house. The dinosaurs are of poor quality and poorly painted. Many info signs have faded to be unreadable. The path is dangerous. Easy to trip if ur not paying attention. Poor value for ur money. Save ur money and go to Kentuckys Prehistoric world.

We took our 2 and 4 year old grandsons. They had a wonderful time. It is well cared for. We would come back again.
You need to be aware that you have to pay in cash. There is no other options. Also there are 2 portapotties before you enter the gates. There is no sanitizer but they are clean. It would be nice if there was another one inside the park. 2 little boys can't hold themselves very long. Also we took mosquito repellent, there is parts in the park that require you to have repellent on. But the dinosaurs are incredible and well worth going to see.

Huge park with walking paths that lead you to so many dinosaur sculptures. The kids think it’s great and you’re able to get some fun photos. There are benches to relax and I believe I seen a picnic area, but not 100% certain. Great for littles, the older kids liked it but got bored of it quicker than the little ones.

We visited today with my 3 & almost 6 year old and they LOVED it. Nice and spread out, outdoor fun - very covid friendly that way. We would return again if in the area… my Dino lover was over the moon. Price is also good!
Only complaint would be there’s no bathrooms. Two portable toilets outside, so proper handwashing (which is important right now) isn’t happening.

Beside the dinosaures, there is the Cornwall Power Dam to visit which is approx 15 minutes east on Hwy 2. Equal distance to the west, you will find the Ault Island Bird Sanctuary to visit as well.

Are you open all year round? If not when do you close?
Written November 1, 2017
They are only open during the summer months. The displays are all outside but is worth visiting during the summer. You will be surprised at the size of these displays.
