We took our 9 year old grandson to the Backwoods Terror Ranch event tonight. Every staff member was cheerful, polite and informative from the security guards at the entrance, through the entire experience and right down to the moment we were leaving...the owner personally introduced himself and thanked us for coming! We told him this was our 2nd time there...our 1st time was Dinosaur World back in the summer...and how his wife rescued our tired feet with a ride back to their wonderful gift shop (Thank you again!)! That was just as fun for us then. If you truly want a great fun, creepy, scary Halloween experience then make your way to Sweet Valley Ranch! Youre just going to love it!

We had an awesome experience at Dinosaur World!! My 2 year old great nephew loves dinosaurs and he was so excited! The staff are wonderful from the greeting you receive when you arrive to “thanks for visiting” as you leave. Sally, one of the cart drivers, was always ready with helpful hints and “look what’s going on there”. Bree, at the dinosaur rides, obviously loves kids and it showed in her interactions with them. Kinsey aka Mikey is truly an asset to the farm. She went out of her way so we could meet Mikey before we had to leave. Raul, the animal caretaker, reached out to my nephew to tell him about feeding the dinosaurs. The entire day was wonderful!! Thank you so very much Sweet Valley Farm!

My son and I are in town visiting family and we were looking for something fun to do. I am so glad we found Sweet Valley Ranch! It was such a fun-filled day with lots of activities.The minute we pulled into the parking lot, Walter greeted us with a smile, was friendly and gave us a nice overview of where everything was and where we could park and go to get started. There were lots of animals. We took the tour on the bus that was pulled by a tractor. Miss Vicky was our tour guide. She’s from Canada and she had lots of funny stories and explained the names of the areas and the different animals on the farm. I’m glad we did it because there is a lot of area in the property so we were able to cover a lot of ground. They even offered rides down to the Dino trail which we took. Ashli and too other staff members (I’m really sorry I forgot their names) were all super friendly. Ashli told us the few rules they had for the area and then we were off walking among the dinosaurs. I kind of wished we had gone on Saturday night so we could do the Dino adventure but we’ll have to plan that for next time. It was still cool to see them because they had sound effects playing and I may have jumped once or twice 😂. They had info sheets that told us about each of them and the staging was entertaining.We also enjoyed driving the go karts. It was my first time doing it and it was thrilling. Alex and Dan helped us get strapped in and lead our group along a big field for the ride.My son stayed in the bounce houses and even did the huge slide. We finished our day by having Megan paint my son’s face. She was the sweetest person and told us lots of funny stories about the animals. Overall, we were there for several hours and we all really enjoyed it. The staff were all so inviting and friendly and they really made our time their special. I wished I had remembered more people’s names because they all did such a great job. My son wanted to stay longer but he fell asleep in the car before we even left the parking lot so that is always a good sign that he fun. I highly recommend Sweet Valley and I’m looking forward to visiting again!

Today was our first time here ad it was amazing from start to finish!! The staff was amazingly friendly! It is family friendly. The young men that assist with the go cart rides are so sweet and kind, there was one that was on the four wheeler that waited for us to get ready to cross the street and he sat so we could cross safely! I can’t wait to return to take the grand baby!

I came here with my son for the dinosaur world which was totally awesome even i loved it lol, I came early while it was nice and cool and before the crowd set in. I suggest the same being most of this is outdoors keep that in mind. They have clean restrooms on site. Cool animals a great place to bring the family. Thanks

This place is amazing!! The staff is very friendly. The dinosaur trail was well done. The bouncy castles are huge and there’s staff there making sure everyone is safe. The live animals are tons of fun. We spent the entire day here and everyone in the family had a great time!

Overall DinoWorld was a great experience. It was hot, but they cant help that. They do have large mister fans in some locations so that was very nice. We did the Farm Tour and Dino Walk. There was Face Painting, Bounce Houses, Dino Sand Digs, Dino Rides, and more. My daughter had fun. Would go again. The only complaint is there could have been a better explanation for how many tickets things were and what exactly it was for. An example is we were told the bounce houses were 2 tickets a kid. The tickets are only for the large slide (which has a height requirement) and 2 tickets only gets you 1 time down.

What an amazing experience visiting Sweet Valley Ranch and the Dinosaur World experience! From the moment we came into the property we were welcomed and told where to park and what to expect. This farm/ranch is the cleanest and most well kept I ever been on. Attention to detail is amazing and the employees are happy and very welcoming. Great job Mr. Surgeon.

This is truly a Fayetteville Hidden Gem. My 2 year old, my family and I loved this place. We had a great time and we didnt even get to see half of the attractions. When we go back it will definitely be earlier so we can enjoy all they have to offer. Everyone that we did encounter was so nice and friendly to us. We are so happy that we went and cant wait to go back again.

We had a ball. There were so many activities to do. We looked at so many animals. We did the farm tour which helped us navigate the ranch. We did the go carts. I had my son and daughter but they gave us the option for staff to drive my son. I really appreciated that so we could all enjoy. We purchased 2 guinea fowl babies and love them already. We plan to get 2 more since we have a large back yard. It started raining so we couldnt finish all the activities but we plan on returning to enjoy another visit and get more animals. The staff was very helpful and we have told our family so they can also visit. We cant wait for our next trip out.

Well designed area and definitely an addition to give Fayetteville residents something to do. Music was a bit loud but family friendly throughout the ranch. It was hot but we had a good time. Staff was friendly and engaging. A little pricey for the dinosaur adventure, but you can tell it took a lot of expense and time for setup. Definitely worth checking out while its still here.

We had SO much fun! Everyone we came in contact with that works at the ranch was so kind. They had a map to hand out and signs posted, yet would still be checking in to be sure you were going where you wanted. The Dino trail wasn’t too long but still had tons of animatronic dinosaurs packed into it. Over in the fossil museum, the “live” raptor, Mikey, was fabulous. The owner has a video talking about crating Dinos which was cute. The go kart trail was a lot of fun, too! And the staff working the go karts (Alex and Dan?? I think??) triple checked with everyone to be sure the drivers knew what they were doing. The farm tour is a nice way to see the whole farm. We did this first and then everything else previously mentioned after. The “tour guide” was fun and very informative. There’s a meet and greet with baby farm animals, too! All in all, they’ve thought of everything for dinosaurs and the farm animals. Such a cute place. We will definitely be coming back!

My daughter had a blast out here. We spent almost three hours out here just by her playing in the bouncy houses. I was pleasantly surprised how much she enjoyed herself considering it seemed kind of small upon arrival. The staff is also very nice.

Great experience. Highlight was Noelle? who basically shuttled us from activity to activity all day. Always with a smile. Always super informative. Right up until she drove us to our car at the end of the day. She has no idea how much we appreciated her, especially because she may not have realized it, but at 7 months pregnant, I could never have been able to get around without her!I also have to highlight the young man who helped lead the go karts (he was riding behind on the atv). He ensured my family was safe and returned our phone we lost in the mud along the way! We hadnt even realized it was missing!!! Yet, he chased us down to return it to us!Finally, the 2 gentlemen in the fishing area were not only helpful, but friendly and kind. My toddler was excited for his first catch, and those gentlemen made sure to make it memorable.No place is perfect, but these people more than made up for any small inconveniences. Loved the dino trail, bouncy houses, and animals. We will be back again!

Tiny’s Corn Maze at Sweet Valley Ranch was awesome! There was something for everyone from bounce houses to Go Karts. Alex, Jen, and Dan were awesome tour guides on the Go Kart track. My husband, son, and I had so much fun the first time we bought more tickets to go around a second time for another ride. Highly recommend if you’re looking some family fun to come here and enjoy what they have to offer!

I took my great niece and we had a ball! Everyone was extremely nice and accommodating. We spent 5.5 hours there. We dug for fossils. She found a tooth. We walked the dinosaur trail, went to reptile house, had face painting done, went on farm tour, rode the dinosaur attractions and met Mikey the friendly dinosaur in the dinosaur museum. We ate cinnamon pretzels and popcorn. Im wore out but shes telling her mom, her grandmom and her other great aunts all about her adventure today. Im sure shes going to be telling her dad later this evening.The Queen of the farm Mrs. Anita was kind enough to take a picture with us.Had to update: She is knocked out. I guess her adrenaline from all the excitement she had finally wore off.I wish I captured everyones name but I didnt but everyone was so nice! I took over 70 pictures/videos but only posting a handful here!We wii be back again! Looking forward to visiting on Saturday night!

Sweet Valley Ranch! What a great way to spend the day! All kinds of rescued animals: variety of ducks, rabbits, llamas, reptiles, horses, peacocks, guinea fowl, pigs, goats, water Buffalo, bulls, cows, and birds. My daughter loved learning about all the animals there and their cute names. They have a main gift shop with food concessions, retail, and bathrooms. Along the paths they have several other food stands. You can purchase tickets for the big bouncy house area which has bouncy houses for small children all the way up to adults. I would recommend they put down gravel at the entrance of the bouncy house area as it was pretty muddy. They had pavers to walk across but I saw several people trying to get their strollers through. I would also recommend spraying for mosquitos and gnats. They have a covered caravan farm tour which I highly recommend as it was very informative. They have a face painting area, which you can get tickets for, near the large dinosaur fossil bed. Kids loved playing and digging in the sand for dinosaur fossils. They have a dinosaur fossil museum and when my daughter saw the T-Rex fossil standing so tall she was amazed! Loved her reaction! We talked about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. They have a couple of stocked ponds you can fish in. It’s catch and release and they supply the equipment as well as chairs and tents. We also did the night time rescue mission and rescued one scientist from the from the dinosaurs! Lol. FUN! Our tour guides were excited and full of energy. I would recommend stringing lights on the caravans for the night time rescue mission which includes the farm tour. Unfortunately you cannot see the animals at night so I highly recommend doing the farm tour during the day. The nighttime rescue mission is divided into two teams and one team does a scavenger hunt looking for clues to Trivia questions that are supposed to help us on our mission later. We all went to get our answers and collect information but we never got anyone to gather us and tell us if those answers were correct. We got on to shuttles and went immediately to our night time rescue mission so there was a bit of a disconnect with the nighttime experience. Highly recommend you bring your water bottle, sunscreen and bug spray and spend at least 4-6 hours there. We arrived just before 5pm and the nighttime mission started at 8:30pm and we didn’t have enough time during the day to experience everything without rushing. I also would like to see informational signs up about the animals on the farm such as where they originated, growth and diet. They will have a corn maze and haunted town for fall and Festival of Lights for winter. Great place for everyone to visit!

WE TRAVELED ALMOST 4 HOURS & it was WORTH IT! 🥰My kids and I experience was nothing short of amazing. The staff here is fantastic! As soon as we arrived a staff member greeted us with a smile and beautifully colored hair. I loved seeing staff being accepted in all forms ❤️ I am not great at names but the twins are so sweet, caring, and appear to be very optimistic. Twin 2 was definitely understanding when I became a little flustered with something out of her control as well as the picture taker. There was ALWAYS a staff member that was willing to answer any questions. We were there about 5 hours and had soooo many fun activities to choose from. We were able to do everything except ride the go karts because they only have two seaters… go fishing because of limited time and the 8:30 p.m. activity. Overall I wound rate this ranch a 4.5 out of 5 stars. The only downside is when it rain it can pour. I seen a lot of people drenched as they were coming out of the dinosaur trail… we also couldn’t get a funnel cake because of the rain…. So pleaseeee be mindful of the weather the day that you go. I do want to add that the staff was reallyyyyy quick about getting customers into a sheltered area. Ohhh yeah they also have cooling stations around the picnic tables and reallyyyy clean bathroom. Food is also good. Dominos pizza and Nathan’s hotdogs & more 😋

First of all I wanted to say this place is really neat and one of a kind. Staff is also extremely friendly and kind.Before visiting I tried to find prices and couldn’t find them so I figure I’d share our day with anyone curious on the cost.Admission is $25/ adult and $15 / kid. So for my husband and I and our 3 year old we paid $65 to enter the farm.With that you get to see the mechanical dinosaurs, reptiles, a small fossil museum the size of a garage and kids can dig in the sand to play with “fossils” and play yard games like corn hole.You have to pay for every single additional thing. So for animal food you payGo carts you have to pay $8.00 to drive and the passenger isn’t free the passenger has to pay $4.00 passenger should be free just because they don’t drive it and if there isn’t a passenger with you then no ones goes in your passenger seat anyways.The inflatables are $2 for 8 mins per kid. So if your kid wants to play on the inflatables you pay for every 8 mins.Dino rides which is like the mall rides but Dino version (they are cool not knocking it) but they are $1 per ride which are 2 mins long. As you can see it all quickly adds up. Pizza is $3 per slice. Lemonade is $5 Funnel Cake is $6Some prices of animals chickens $20 goats range from $100-300Today we spent $106 which seems pretty pricey to me for a few hours at a farm with Dino attractions. It’s a really nice park but it’s something that I definitely don’t see us going back to because of the cost. It’s almost like an amusement park, water park cost but doesn’t match the attractions. I think that if not every little thing was extra or if there was a family pass like the zoo offers we would definitely go back but it’s not affordable to make it a reoccurring trip.If you’re looking for a great different experience or your kids love dinosaurs definitely check it out. Just be prepared to pay a decent amount. The dinosaur trail is probably a half mile long the rest is a farm experience. Thank you for the experience I hope this review helps others.If you bring a stroller or wagon make sure it has big wheels like a jogging stroller since you’ll be walking on mainly gravel and dirt. I saw some people with some umbrella strollers

This place was fabulous! Both my boys want to be paleontologists and Dinosaur World did not disappoint! The dinosaur trail was awesome! The large dinos, the Jurassic music, and all the Dino sounds made it so thrilling for us! They video in the fossil museum was pretty great too for kids that loved Jurassic World and mutant dinos!The staff at Sweet Valley Ranch was wonderful! Everyone asked if we were having fun, and they were all happy and helpful.When speaking with a couple workers, we were talking about the fall would bring to Sweet Valley Ranch. They told me there would be corn mazes, a zombie attraction and more. I even asked them about strobe lights. They mention they could probably work out something so the lights would not be a problem and even brought one of the owners to speak to me about it. That just shows they are dedicated to the people!They even had some people taking pictures as well and my one child said, it’s like a “mini-Disney!” The kids loved it! We had a wonderful time and we will DEFINITELY go back!

We had an amazing time at Dinosaur World and Sweet Valley Ranch yesterday. The facilities are well maintained, the bathrooms and concessions are very clean and conveniently located. There are shaded and cooled rest areas throughout and the shuttle service is well organized. Every staff memeber we encountered was exceedingly pleasant and helpful. Like most amusements it is a little pricey but, unlike many, we feel we got a great return for money spent, well worth the price and the drive from Chesapeake, Virginia. My four year old lovvvves dinosaurs and was ecstatic (the animatronics and sound were great, many of the dinosaurs he recognized from the Jurassic Park/World movies and Camp Cretaceous).

Rating specifically for the Christmas lights. It was fun. Nice to have somewhere close to take everyone to see lights. They are well organized and its nice to experience the live animals as you pass through too. All the staff were quite pleasant and very welcoming. Would like it if took a little longer to pass through but it was still more enjoyable than some others within driving distance. Thanks!

This is a great family fun place. I spent 3.5 hours on this past Saturday with my grandson and friends at the ranch. Loved the Dinosaur Exhibit especially, and all the other attractions as well. The kids had a great time and did not want to leave. Looking forward to the coming events, especially the Halloween and Christmas holidays. Truly a great place for good outside and enjoyable family fun. Such an educational enjoyment!

Review №35

Had a really great experience with my three year old and wife. The only thing I’d suggest is making sure all employees are on the same page, we were told the kids train wasn’t running and a few minutes later found out it was (luckily we were standing right there when it pulled up). Also we weren’t aware that we were supposed to get a time for the farm tour when we got our wristbands, luckily an employee told us the next time so we didn’t miss out. I still rated it five stars despite those two small things. Hope to visit again later this year.

The workers AND the guests at this ranch were amazing! Every one was so polite and respectful of each other! Logan, at the Dinosaur trail was so helpful and went out of his way to make sure my parents could enjoy their time also! The Dino world was a little more of a walk than anticipated, but Logan took it upon himself to get us 2 motor scooters for my parents! That was a great help! Thank you Logan! The workers at the ranch made sure everyone had what they needed, and had shuttle services for most of the park. There is so much to do here, worth every penny!

I went there with my husband and 3 young boys. They all said they had a great time. We were able to go to the last rescue mission. Loved that they put the dinosaurs coming out of the trees and made it life like. Very cool. Look forward to what they are planning for both Halloween and Christmas.

Review №39

This was our first trip here and it just disappointed. If you live within an hour or two, it would be a nice quick getaway. But we drove four hours and didn’t end up spending the entire day there. It has great potential, just misses the mark on a few things. The main concession/gift shop/restrooms needs to be expanded and divided. Trying to do all three of those in one building makes it too cramped, and confusing. The dinosaur world exhibit walk through was good, but felt it could be a little more interactive.We decided to fish and spend a little time at the ponds, only to find out that you can only fish at specific times. Around 1 o’clock I went to get tickets for the go cart tour…well you can only do those at specific times and was told they were sold out of tickets until 5:30. In all we spent around 2-2.5 hrs there after a 4 hr drive. I think if you live within a short driving distance, it can be a nice short day trip…but definitely not worth it driving a distance.

It was nice to have amazing customer service! The farm was beautiful and you could tell the animals were loved and taken care of each staff member knew them by name. Our favorite part of our trip was our ride to and from the Dino side with Ms. Lowis. She was so sweet and cared for us like we were her family, she was so knowledgeable about the ranch and the animals there and you could tell she LOVED her job. Thank you so much for an amazing experience!! We will be returning soon.

We had the best time yesterday (June 12th) at Dino World! My son is obsessed with dinosaurs and he loved it! There was so much to do and see! The farm was very clean and well taken care of. The farm tour on the tractor was nice, and a good way to get to see all of the animals. It is clear that there was a lot of thought and care put into the whole experience. They made sure to make everything very accessible with concrete paths and shuttles helping you get from one side of the farm to the other. The staff was super friendly, and there was PLENTY to do to stay entertained.

Hands down a great time.The staff went above and beyond. I had an 18 month who was a bit shy towards to animatronic dinosaurs and they did everything in their power plus some to make sure he felt comfortable around them and by the end he was petting them and enjoying his time. Special thanks to Aaron, Tyler, Ashley, the Redhead with the Septum (Im sorry I forgot your name), Sally, the boys at the go cart trail (that was awesome, great bang for your buck) Miss Debby, and Mr Sergeant (hope I didnt butcher that). You all personally made the trip memorable and I will definitely be back!Nature trail go carts, reptile house, museum, fishing ponds, dinosaur attractions were awesome! As well as bounce house, water slide, fossil dig and plenty barn yard animals for the kids to enjoy

And Faith was very helpful getting us our picture we took!Over all this place was amazing everyone was so kind and informative I will definitely be telling people about this place and we can’t wait to go back!

Dinosaur World was a hit with my toddler. He loved seeing the dinosaurs and riding them too! What a fun activity for the kids. Also, they had clean and air conditioned bathrooms! Before you leave, visit the hand washing station!Thanks for fun day with my kiddo!

My son and I had a blast here today! The staff were absolutely wonderful with their friendly and helpful demeanor. I was hesitant at first because of the price but overall I think it was well worth it for the amount of activities and time spent there. We spent 4 hours there but easily couldve spent more time going through everything. The dinosaur trail is real neat since there is sound and movement as if you were next to the real thing. On top of the amount of dinosaurs, youre able to see, pet and feed various animals. Weve already decided to go back next month 😊

Sweet Valley Ranch is a hidden gem in Fayetteville. So many activities to enjoy; the dinosaur trail was awesome. We found the staff to be very professional and super helpful; Logan went above and beyond to help us to our vehicle in the rain. The reason for 4 stars as opposed to 5 was that you must pay separately for each additional activity; I would prefer one entrance price that covers all activities.

I came here today for my daughters 2nd birthday, we went on the dinosaur trail and the farm tour and she loved both! The whole family had a great time here we love the whole set up! They even gave my daughter a birthday shout-out and play happy birthday song for her. I recommend for a family day!

This was one of the most amazing couples date I have had in a while we enjoyed the ride through the 🦕 dinosaur trial, the reptile 🐍 exhibit! To see all the wonderful animals was so funny. Most of all I love the go karts that was the highlight of my day! Amazing, friendly staff wonderful food and we will be coming back frequently!

What an amazing experience! Our 4 year old niece was absolutely amazed at how big the dinasaurs were! This is definitely a must do activity... a high five to the owners and management...it is a well run organization full of polite and extremely helpful staff at almost every turn...the grounds were impeccable with no trash to be seen! Truly a hidden gem!

Awesome experience yesterday! The kids had a blast seeing the dinosaurs and all the animals! I think it’s awesome how most of their animals are rescues!! As well, how they try and grow their own hay for their animals to be self-sufficient. Keep it up Mr. & Mrs. Surgent and the entire Sweet Valley Ranch team out there! Only complaint would be have the photographers center their pictures and that’s only because I’m an art teacher/ art professor that’s rule #1 for a portrait of that kind. Make sure the clients are in the center! 😋. Besides that keep up the good work and if you need an afternoon to let the kids run around and see some animals, take them out to Sweet Valley Ranch to see the animals. It won’t break the bank, there are things to do out there that are affordable! Just pick and choose your things to do!

Loved it. Spent 3 hours there for dinosaur world. Only left because it was closing. Lots to do and the people working had great personalities. They didnt stand around looking like they didnt want to be there, but actually engaged and made it an even better experience. Definitely worth it. (Make sure to add on fishing and go carts)

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Kids loved the bounce houses, dino rides, face painting and the animals. Cool programs and activities that keep the kids engaged and cool shelters and mists to keep everyone from scorching! Every staff member was polite and helpful. Will definitely visit again!

This place is amazing!!! Staff is all friendly and helpful, prices are relevant and the best part...my grandchildren were involved from the minute we arrived until we left...they never got bored. My family is from NY, visiting my daughter in NC and this will be a memory we treasure for a lifetime. Thank you, Sweet Valley Ranch. ❤

Dinosaur World was a BLAST today for my dino loving 4 year old! Everything was so well thought out and clean. We were greeted with a smile from every staff member and they were all so pleasant and helpful! Our favorite parts were the dinosaur rides and the farm tour. Well worth the price and we will definitely be back soon

We enjoyed our trip to the farm and the new Dinosaur World. The staff were amazingly attentive to all needs and went out of their way to help. The facilities and grounds were well kept and enjoyable to walk through. I highly recommend a visit and will be visiting again myself.

This is a great place to spend the afternoon. My little 4 year old was scared to go on the dinosaur trail but then an employee, Tony, helped him out and even gave him an ice cream for finally going through with Tony. The staff at this facility is something I have never seen before! They are amazing and so helpful!

A family member mentioned the Dinosaur World attraction so we decided to check it out. From the staff member that greeted us at the entrance to the ones that bid us goodbye, everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. There are too many names to remember, but we went Friday June 11 around 1100.My 2 and 6 year old enjoyed seeing all of the live animals (we did the covered wagon tour) as well as the fossil exhibit and dinosaur trail. The setup was really cool. its evident they put a lot of effort into it. We didnt go fishing or do go -karts, but hopefully next time.Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for something the whole family can enjoy. We plan on coming back!

My experience here at Sweet Valley Ranch was awesome I enjoyed my time here and if it wasn’t for the help of the Nasir it would not have been better. He was helpful with directing me and my friends to different areas of the ranch he thought we would find interest that showed he cares about how should the visitors feel once that leave. I would suggest this place to others in the surrounding areas to view one day.

Great experience for both the parents and children. My son loves dinosaurs and we were able to walk around the dinosaur world trail that recreates the classic Jurassic Park movie. They sale freash produce and live stock and offer go kart rides, hay rides, and the ability to pet and feed animals. Overall a great time and recommend spending the day.

We had such a blast. From Walter at the front gate greeting us, letting us know we about to have a good time. To Miss Vicky on the farm tour with her ”corny” joke. 😂 To everyone else we met at the park. There were some rude customers that the staff tried to accommodate. The Dino walk gave me Jurassic park vibe. The kid play area was great. 2 yr old and 4 yr old had so much fun. Lots to see and do for all age group. Will return with and without kids. I want to ride those carts.

Very overpriced. We paid for the upgraded tickets to include a tour of the farm which was $64 in total for one adult and two children 2 and under are free. We where very disappointed to find that we had to purchase extra tickets for the mechanical dinosaurs $1 each and again for the bouncy houses $2 for 8minutes. The hotdogs where $5 each and ice-cream sandwiches $4! The only reason Im not giving it one star is that the staff there where all absolutely lovely, friendly and accommodating.

Worth every penny of admission. You can spend the whole day doing different activities. There is plenty of shade, fans, misters, food stations and clean bathrooms. The best dinosaur event we have attended. Cant wait to go back.
