This place was an unexpected surprise! Erik was AMAZING he literally gave us a personal tour of the entire center. His information seemed unlimited. He answered all of our many questions including the ones from my three, six, and seven year old. He was very engaging. We really appreciate his effort and patience. Thanks Erik many blessings to you!!!!!!!

I was very impressed with this place! At first I thought it was either a tourist trap or a children’s museum. It was and it wasn’t. It is attractive and accessible to tourists; and it is useful for elementary school education. But with superb displays, highly detailed explanations, and an extremely knowledgeable team of interpretive guides, I ended up getting a detailed, up to date education on the evolution and anatomy of a half-dozen orders, genera, and species of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. The learning opportunities here are as simple or as complex as you want them to be. I could have spent much more time here and recommend it to anybody of any age interested in prehistory.
