Very well laid out with an extensive collection. Good pathway goes around the large area. Also has a nice picnic area.
A must for young children!

We had a great experience. Cost just under $30 for our family of 3, and was a lovely walk. Very well maintained, beautiful gardens, though some signs were too faded to read. Do not forget your bug spray! The mosquitoes were ferocious.

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)

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.

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 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.

We were so surprised when we entered Prehistoric World. We expected to see old and paint peeling exhibits, we’re we surprised. The love and pain stacking effort that the owner and his wife have put into there backyard is unbelievable. What a fantastic day for ourselves my mother in law and grandson. We will definitely go back to visit a must see for young children and older .

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 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.

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.
$10 per adult

What do you have to visit or see besides the dinosaurs?
Bob L
Winter Haven, FL34 contributions
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.
