Why are there no more Woolly Mammoths?

As warmer, wetter weather was beginning to take hold, rising sea levels swamped the coastal regions. Forests replaced open woodlands and grasslands. The Ice Age was ebbing. As habitats disappeared, so did mammoths.

Whether the general mammoth population died out for climatic reasons or due to overhunting by humans is controversial. A combination of climate change and hunting by humans is the most likely explanation for their extinction.

Take heart! You can still see Mammoths at Dinosaur World in Kentucky!

weddings

We're having our first wedding here at Dinosaur World in Kentucky on Saturday. You know they have to be cool to be getting married with over 150 life size dinosaurs! The wedding will be at the deck overlook of the grazing field. Very exciting times here!

Birthdays

Since today is my son's birthday, I have parties on the brain. So, I decided to talk about birthday parties at Dinosaur World. What could be more fun than having your birthday with over 150 life size dinosaurs? Party rates are $6 per person for groups of 12 or more with advance reservations. This includes a fossil dig for each child where they can take home authentic fossils they find. And we do sell plenty of dinosaur party supplies.

Dinosaur Playground

Okay moms, we are all in the need for a good playground from time to time. Bring the kids to Dinosaur World and enjoy our playground and picnic area. Sliding, swinging, climbing and even riding dinosaurs! If you live close to one of our 3 locations (Plant City, Florida - Cave City, Kentucky - Glen Rose, Texas) then consider year membership and come play every day year around.

Extra holiday days

Are you off that extra day for the 4th of July?

We'd love to see you here at Dinosaur World!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!

Happy Independance Day! If you're looking for something to do with the family for that extra day off, don't wait any longer, come visit us! Our dinsoaurs would love to see you! Happy 4th of July from our dinosaurs and staff to you!

Trees that knew dinosaurs

At our Kentucky location you can meet the ancient tree that knew the dinosaurs.

The Dawn Redwood is one of the only trees with the strength and growing power to be around when the dinosaurs roamed and still flourish today. This tree can grow up to 100 feet including six feet in just one year.

In early June of 2009, we planted ten Dawn Redwood trees. While you're visiting Kentucky, see if you can spot all ten.
