Nevada is just full of weird and wonderful attractions, many of which are great places to visit with your kids. In fact, a new family-friendly dinosaur attraction just opened in Boulder City earlier this year, and it’s already proven itself as a favorite among both young and old. It’s impossible to be anything but totally enchanted by this attraction’s prehistoric atmosphere, complete with all-things-dinosaur. Treat yourself and the kiddos to a day of fun and plan to visit this unique attraction soon.
A nifty dinosaur-themed attraction opened its doors earlier this year in Boulder City and it's definitely worth checking out. Your family will fall in love with Tom Devlin's Dinosaur Adventure and all of the prehistoric magic it contains!
The Tom Devlin name may sound familiar to you, and that's probably because he has a monster museum here in Boulder City, as well. Devlin, a professional special effects artist, opened Dinosaur Adventure in order to expand his collection in an attraction that was more kid-friendly than the monster museum.
Although small, there's definitely a lot to love about Dinosaur Adventure. Upon walking inside, you'll be greeted by all sorts of cool dinosaur-themed activities, including a massive playground and ridable dinosaurs for kids (and adults, too!)
One of the attraction's most loved features is the fossil sandbox. This fossil pit contains the "bones" of many different breeds of dinosaurs, and kids are encouraged to uncover them all in order to see what species of dinosaurs remain here.
Additionally, a visit to Dinosaur Adventure is only complete after you've greeted Frankenstein, a desert tortoise who loves interacting with people and eating copious amounts of watermelon.
There is also a paleo cave system which kids will have an absolute blast exploring. Just remember that socks are required for anybody wishing to check out the cave or fossil pit, so don't forget them! If you do, you can always buy a pair for $2.
Admission to this enchanting little attraction is $10 and there is no time limit enforced. All adults and infants get in free with a paid child. Take a walk on the wild side and be sure to check this place out for some good ol' family-friendly fun!
