Still spring break for some

Thanks to everyone who visited all our locations over the spring break holiday. Florida still has this week for Hillsborough County spring break. And there are a few other late spring breaks. So, we'd love for you to come see us and join the other happy spring breakers. Take some time to enjoy your family and come have some educational fun with us!

Check out this action packed short clip on our Florida location.

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

Ok Spring Breakers, and anyone else travelling on I-65, I-4 or in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, make sure you exit when you see this!
Our big orange T-Rex is hard to miss. So take the oppotunity and exit as soon as you see this sign!

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.
