People often ask what inspired the owners to build The Dinosaur Park in Cedar Creek, so here’s their story….

We are a small, family-owned business with two children who REALLY love dinosaurs! In 2002, when our three-year-old son developed an interest in dinosaurs, we looked for a place to visit that would be educational, yet fun and enjoyable.

Over the years, his interest turned into a passion so intense that even our younger daughter became intrigued. Soon, the whole family was often discussing dinosaur topics, watching documentaries, doing dino crafts, searching the internet, reading books and playing dinosaur games! We found some great museums, with dinosaur skeletons on display, but we wanted a place where dinosaurs appeared to be in their own natural environment, along with a place where kids could run and play! When we couldn’t find such a place, we decided to build The Dinosaur Park for our children — and for yours, too!

Enjoy Our Friendly Dinosaurs!
