The Largest Park Of Its Kind Is About To Open In Kansas And You’ll Definitely Want To Visit
When is the last time you found an awesome and new attraction to take the family to? Something about dinosaurs brings out the curious child in all of us. That being said, this dinosaur park is a place for children and adults alike. After all – it’s the largest park of its kind in the country, and we can’t keep it from anyone. Who’s ready for a prehistoric themed adventure?
Your eyes aren't deceiving you, that really is a Tyrannosaurus Rex holding our beloved Jayhawks flag.
There's plenty of activities to do, including interactions with big and small moving dinosaurs, mini golf, a domed challenge course, and black-light puppet shows.
Interacting one-on-one with these dinosaurs is the best part, of course.
Information given about the dinosaurs comes from the source - paleontologists themselves. Information about these dinosaurs is as accurate as we can get without actually traveling back in time.
There's something special about putting your head in a dinosaur's mouth.
After all - it's one of the only places you can do that! After it opens, from May 26th to June 24th you'll be able to visit on weekends from 10am to 6pm. Summer hours have the park open from Tuesdays through Sundays until September 2nd. Fall hours are listed until November 11th on weekends only, and closing early at 5pm.
