Once you enter this indoor prehistoric park in Arizona, you'll come face-to-face with the gentle (and not so gentle) giants who roamed the earth millions of years ago, learning more about them than science textbooks could ever compare to.

The life-size replicas of over a dozen different prehistoric creatures are so realistic that you'll be half-expecting them to come alive right before your eyes. Well, they kind of do as many of them are animatronic.

Informative plaques in front of each dinosaur offer interesting tidbits about their diets, behaviors, and era of existence.
Keep the fun going all day long with 10 additional activities including etching, sifting, excavating, glitter tattoos (temporary, of course), a T-Rex obstacle course, and more.

There's plenty to captivate every member of the family - even adults!
