GREAT day trip for kids!
 

The Dinosaur Place™ at Nature’s Art | An Interactive Science, Nature, and Shopping Adventure in Southeastern Connecticut

HIGHLY recommend it. Wow what a little gem of a place. Good time. 25 or more huge dinosaurs in a 1.5 mile path thru the woods with a volcano that erupts every hour. Play areas, a cool maze, indoor activities like panning for gold, geode cutting, a HUGE store with some really awesome stuff in it. Everything dinosaur related you could ever think of, a little place to eat, a huge bead shop, a even bigger Rock shop with EVERY kind of rock you could ever imagine, even a whole bunch of museum quality skeletons of dinosaurs etc. All for sale. $80k for a 50' fish :hee: I'll post some pics when I get them off the camera.

Kids had a freakin blast in there. We took a picnic lunch with us and was a nice outside fall day!

It costs $10 a person for the outside stuff and the inside stuff is varied prices but still didn't spend more than $120 even with buying some cool stuff for xmas presents.

a few pics. Some definite neat stuff there! Not an expensive day for a neat day trip. I think it's open year round.
