Dinosaur World

Blue Rock loves dinosaurs and about an hour from us is all kinds of neat dinosaur activities. There's Dinosaur Valley, Dinosaur World, a Creation Evidence Museum, and Fossil Rim Wildlife Center.We've been wanting to take Blue Rock to see some dinosaurs and surprised him Saturday  by taking him to Dinosaur World.

Blue Rock was super excited to see all of the dinosaurs. He kept asking if they were real or pretend. I think he thought we were at a Dinosaur Zoo. They have over 100 life-size dinosaur replicas and information about each kind and where their bones were found. It was an amazing exhibit. There was a dinosaur dig for the kids where they could dig for bones. It honestly was too hot (100 degrees) to dig for any bones or play on the playground. So we went through the dinosaur park walk and grabbed some cold water and went into the air conditioned museum where we could read more about dinosaurs. Thankfully they gave us free tickets to come back in December to dig for dinosaur bones and see all the dinosaurs again. I didn't need to be in the heat very long so we only spent about an hour there. I look forward to going again and watching Blue Rock dig for bones. This Fall we're going to be studying dinosaurs more as part of his pre-K program. Blue Rock and I are really looking forward to it.  It's always fun taking kids somewhere fun that's also educational.
