Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Felt that the price was excessive given that you still had to pay for activities inside. Especially cost for adults. Wouldn't go again or recommend.

Review of Dinosaurs In The Park

Overall rating: 3.5

A disappointing experience if I'm honest.
-The descriptions of dinosaurs made absolutely no sense at all. We suspected a poor Google Translate job that hadn't been proof-read. Very odd as not a single one made sense! It was actually funny how bad they were!
-No sanitiser in most of the toilets (we found some in the 4th cubicle we tried).
-The children were given a quiz card on the way in, but they'd run out so were re-using old ones with the answers tipexed out. You could still see the answers through though and I don't feel this was very COVID safe!
-We didn't see the dinosaur who was supposed to be walking around, despite searching for it and asking staff-members.
- Absolutely no vegetarian options to eat, apart from chips (apparently lots of vendors had pulled out). Not ideal when we arrived in time for lunch.
- Most of the things for kids to do cost £3-£5.

Despite this, our little boy enjoyed himself as he wasn't aware of a lot of these things and loved the big dinosaurs, we just felt it was a bit of a let down considering how much we'd paid to get in.

I have put 'yes' I'd recommend as my son enjoyed it, but I wouldn't recommend it at that price and could think of other experiences I'd rather take him to for the same amount of money

wonderful day out enjoyed by all of us. the dinosaurs were more life like than we expected and there were alot of them. along with the free inflatable theme park too and then the dig up bones area this was excellent value for money. the other rides were good too but a little pricey so we just let the kids do the merry go round.

What a disappointment. First, don’t buy the late afternoon tickets, everything will be mostly closed. Second, for £14/15 a ticket it’s an absolute rip off. Not much to see or do. Don’t waste your time and money.

Amazing animatronics and entertaining dinosaur hunt but that's about it. Really expensive for what it is truly worth: information displays written in indecipherable English, unexceptional rides you have to pay for additionally (about twice the price you would pay elsewhere), costly junk food, loud and uninspired music. To avoid without a voucher!

Had a brilliant day out with the kids. The dinosaurs were amazing and got quite a few other activities included in the price which made it great value e.g. bouncy castle, crazy golf, dino fossil digging, dino tooth brushing. There was also a good selection of other extra activities which you had go pay extra for but all were reasonably priced - between £3 and £5. Food selection wasn't great though and was quite expensive. But overall a brilliant day and would definitely go again

The day was good, hard to find!! Sat nav takes you the complete wrong way!
Very expensive for what the day offers. We were there about 1hour and half definitely not worth £60 for a family.

Visited on a Thursday with my preschool age son. It was very quiet. Although we could walk around & do activities without queuing or waiting. Well spread out & realistic dinosaurs-my son loved it. Information boards for dinosaurs could have been a lot bigger & more engaging for children. The bouncy castle & crazy golf were an added bonus

Dinosaurs in the Park was phenomenal and exceeded my expectations. The motion sensors by the dinosaurs were very clever. The sounds and movements made by all the dinosaurs were very realistic. The gentleman at the Dino Dentist brought to life the story of a juvenile trex with a bad tooth. Seeing the bones and realising how big it's feet and legs would have been was fascinating. The 9 hole crazy golf was free and fun. The way in which all the dinosaurs were located throughout the park brought to life their true scale. The information boards were excellently written. There were lots of kids enjoying the big bouncy castle. Enjoyed really nice and quality for money food while there.
