One of the things that's most impressive about our dinosaur walk is our dinosaur families. When you are on our dinosaur walk, you won't just see one dinosaur and a plaque, you'll find much more. Here's a happy family of Miasaur.

Storms

We've had some pretty heavy storms in both the Kentucky and Texas areas. But no worries. We're doing great and our dinosaurs are looking awesome! Plus, we needed the rain. And, in case you are wondering, we do sell ponchos in the giftshop so if you want to visit the dinosaurs without much traffic, a rainy day is a good one!

Visit us in Texas

I just did a hotel room flyer for hotels in Glen Rose, Texas and I thought it might be nice to share with you all. The photo on this ad is one of my favorites.

tourism

I've just returned from a tourism conference where we were learning more cool things on how to serve you all better. It's funny I haven't posted in a week when several of our speakers were talking on the importance of social media. I've been out of the office and in lots of meetings. I'll get back on the ball next week, in the meantime, here are some notes to remember...

• We're nearing the end of Dog Month. So, bring those dogs and get $2 off admission the month of October.
• Halloween is soon and we give free admission to kids in costume on Halloween Day (Sunday, October 31st) when accompanied by a fully paid adult
• Grandparents Sunday's are coming soon - the first 3 Sunday's in November, up to 6 kids accompained by their grandparent'a paid admission will get in free.

Baby Torosaurus

Look! It's the first picture of our new baby Torosaurus in Florida! Awwww!

Baby Iguanodon

Check it out! The first photo of our new baby Iguanodon! He just arrived at the Florida location. He's my personal favorite!

More details on new dinosaurs

Here's the word on the new dinosaurs at the Florida location...

Two juvenile and 3 baby Maiasaurus -This is significant because the Maiasaurus is called the "good mother" dinosaur. Fossils of this dinosaur have been found with eggs and baby dinosaurs making paleontologists think it was a more involved mother than most dinosaurs.

Two juvenile Torosaurus - This name means "pierced lizard". It had an enormous skull of about 8 feet long. It had a huge frill neck with a short snout horn and two eyebrow horns. It also had a toothless beak.

Two juvenile Iguanodon - Actually, just one is at the park now. The other is on exhibit at MOSI until December 31. These dinosaurs were plant eaters. The unique thing about Iguanodons was the long spike on each thumb.

Stay tuned for photos coming as soon as they get settled in the park.
