New area info

While you're planning your trip to visit Dinosaur World during spring break and later this spring, there's a new website about area tourism in the Kentucky area. Check out http://www.mammothcavefun.com/ and see what all there is to do in the area. When you visit, you'll get an armband that's good for all day. So, come see us first, then see more of the area, then come back. Kentucky location is open until 6:00 in the Spring.

Video

Here's a net clip on our Kentucky location. This was a "Bluegrass and Backroads" Kentucky Farm Bureau television clip. If you're thinking about visiting, this will give you a good idea about our outdoor dinosaur museum. Although it's focused on the Kentucky location, our Texas and Florida parks are smiliar and it will give you a good idea on all three. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BRvma-B3TM

Brachiosaurus Information

Here's some great information on our Brachiosaurus.


Brachiosaurus was called the “arm lizard. It was one of the tallest and largest dinosaurs yet found. It had a long neck, small head, and relatively short, thick tail. Brachiosaurus walked on four legs and, like the other Brachiosaurids and unlike most dinosaurs, its front legs were longer than its hind legs. These unusual front legs together with its very long neck gave Brachiosaurus a giraffe-like stance and great height, up to 40-50 feet (12-16 m) tall.


Brachiosaurus had a claw on the first toe of each front foot and claws on the first three toes of each rear foot. Like other Brachiosaurids, it had chisel-like teeth, its nostrils were on the top of its head, and it had large nasal openings indicating that it may have had a good sense of smell. Brachiosaurus had 26 teeth on its top jaw and 26 on the bottom for a total of 52 teeth towards the front of the mouth. Brachiosaurus was an herbivore, a plant eater. It probably ate the tops of tall trees with its large spatulate (chisel-shaped) teeth. It swallowed its food whole, without chewing it, digesting the plant material in its gut.

Homeschool Month Now!

Dinosaur World is celebrating home school students by designating the entire month of April as “Home School Month”. During April, all home school students and their families will receive the park’s group rate discount of $5 per person in Kentucky and Texas and $8 per person in Florida.

In an effort to meet the needs of the expanding homeschool market that often travels in smaller educational group sizes, any home school student, home school teacher, and their siblings, can receive the discount admission the entire moth of April. Park officials request home school documentation to receive discount.

New map

Our Florida location is getting a much needed new park map. The person creating the map has posted a time lapse on how this process is completed. This is a fascinating link (http://vimeo.com/10460763). Click if you ever wondered how a map was created. Plus, you can get a sneak peak at our new Florida map this way.
