Travel Back To Prehistoric Times By Visiting Connecticut’s Very Own Jurassic Park

Did you know that you can visit a place where dinosaurs once roamed here in Connecticut? Head to Rocky Hill and explore the world-famous Rocky Hill Trackway, where dinos and other prehistoric critters left their marks on the land.

Dinosaur State Park is a truly unique place here in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.

When you step inside, you'll be whisked away to prehistoric times! This park includes indoor and outdoor exhibits dedicated to telling the tale of dinosaurs.

Did you know you can actually find dinosaur footprints here?

The track site is one of the largest in North America. It was discovered in 1966, when a bulldozer operator noticed the tracks during the construction of an office building. In 1968, the park was dedicated and the trackway was preserved as a National Landmark.

The entire park covers 80 acres, so you can spend hours exploring both inside and outside.

There are two miles of well-groomed and maintained trails that you can enjoy, year-round.

You'll feel like you're being taken to a land before time when you walk through the forest here.

The arboretum that surrounds the museum was established to support plants and flora that have direct links to plants that lived here when dinosaurs walked the Earth. There are more than 200 species here.

You'll also learn so much about the natural history of the region, and the types of creatures that roamed Earth long before humans.

Come spend a day at Dinosaur State Park and you'll enjoy taking a peek into the past.
