Travel Back To Prehistoric Times By Visiting Kentucky’s Very Own Dinosaur World
Bet you didn’t know we had a real-life Jurassic Park right here in Cave City! If you’re a fan of dinosaurs in Kentucky, look no further: Dinosaur World is the place for you. There are also locations in Texas and Florida, but we’re going to focus on the bluegrass state for today. One neat thing about Dinosaur World is they allow leashed dogs, so if you’ve ever wanted to walk Rover beside a brontosaurus, now’s your opportunity.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

Right at the entrance, you're greeted by a giant pterosaur.
The park is mostly located outdoors, so it's a great opportunity to get some fresh air and take a walk. They've got hundreds of life-sized dinosaurs on display.
Any dino-loving kid (or adult!) will feel right at home here. It looks like you stepped onto Isla Nublar from Jurassic Park. Except you don't have to worry about the dinosaurs chasing or eating you.
The models are realistic enough to be educational while not being too frightening for young children. There are informative signs by each one, so you'll learn as you are entertained!
The 5,000-square foot gift shop is loaded down with cool souvenirs, and there's even a dinosaur museum on site. The playground is, of course, dinosaur-themed.
It's conveniently located just off of the highway and makes for a great stop during a road trip. You're not going to find very many places to get out and stretch your legs amongst t-rexes and triceratops.
