Hands-On Adventures

More Than Just Dinosaurs

You can also learn more about the past in the educational movie theater, or play a round of mini golf. The mirror maze is a really fun experience that’s perfect for kids, or relax with a picnic at the tables outside.

The renovations on the Mini Golf Course are finally complete! There will be more additions made to the course over the next couple of years, but it will remain open. (Please refer to their homepage for updates on seasonal closures)
