Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

The dinosaurs were amazing and I liked how almost everything was inclusive after having paid the entry.
My 5 year old have a fantastic time.

Three generations really enjoyed it

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Some of the dinosaurs looked worse for wear, but we’re overall impressive. The signage was awful. It was clearly auto translated from another language and what we could understand was only talking about what the dinosaurs looked like, which we could see from the animatronics. Not good if you want to learn a bit about dinosaurs but good if you want to see some decent animatronics.

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Very expensive and some of the animatronic dinosaurs were poorly put together.

Returns soon.

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Dinosaurs were great, but paying rides were a pain as the children wanted to go on them and we had already spent more than we could afford on the entrance.

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

We had lovely couple of hours, I personally don't think you could make this an all day attraction

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Lovely layout throughout the gardens with a trail for the kids to do and a prize at the end! Some rides are free at the event. Food and drinks were a bit pricey but a good family day out for all.

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Although my little ones LOVED the actual dinosaurs, they were very impressive, i was disappointed withthe value for money. It was expensive to get in, food and drinks over priced and i couldnt believe all the extra costs for the rides!! I feel for the price of the entrance fee the rides should have been exclusive of this price! On the day that we visited we were told that the dino dig hadnt arrived which was why one of the rides (the dino ride) was free. The kids loved the bouncy castle and we were impressed with the huge dinos but other than that it was definitely not worth the money!

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Both my children really enjoyed this - the animatronic dinosaurs were amazing and lots of thought had been put into extra sound effects around the park. There was also plenty of free extra things for the kids to do (but be prepared to queue) and I was very surprised by how reasonable the gift shop prices were.
Fairly pricey but you can definitely get your money's worth.

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Lovely morning spent at northernhay gardens in exeter. The only criticism I would have is the dinosaur information boards had appalling English and quite a lot of the time did not make sense. So when reading out to our children it was quite confusing.

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Way overpriced for the experience, food terrible, dinosaur descriptions laughable.

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Great to see things to do with the kids that we didn't have to pay extra for like the inflatable, the crazy golf, ride on dino and the dino dentist.
Prices for drinks and food were very expensive.

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

It was a pricey event, and food and funfair prices on top made it too expensive. Would have been gold if everything was included in the price but as it was just the crazy golf was free which looked a bit tired and run down. Lady staffing the bouncy castle was rude, refusing to serve peoe collecting their treasure hunt gifts as she was having a cup of tea (last time I checked, you're either on a break or working... Not both so can only assume they were short staffed) The queue for the bouncy castle was also too long to wait for a turn. Finally, we were hoping for the 'explorers' enthusiasm to help engage the kids but in reality the simply wasn't the case, the only staff that did engage and get involved were those on the gates. Even the staff on the tooth brushing and dilophosaurus rides weren't particularly engaged.

All this said, my son loves dinosaurs and the models and treasure hunt were fab. Just wouldn't have paid that price if it was clear that these were the only things really accessible as part of the ticket price
