It took an hour to get tickets. If you bought online the line was faster... We almost bought on our phones to be in the online line but managing two kids in the line we couldn't.</p> <p>When we finally got in there were about 15-20 mechanical dinosaurs, they were all stationary but moved their arms or neck or tails. It took us about 30 minutes to read info and look at them move their hands/neck/tails. </p> <p>Then there was a store... Very cunning ... We bought something for each kid... Really can't get out of doing that because you have to walk through a maze of stuff and kids want stuff! Haha.</p> <p>Then we got to a big open area with 1 big bouncy house and 3 bounce and slide inflatable thing and 3 just climb and slides. He did all of those 2-3 times. There was also a small theater with folding chairs to watch discovery channel like shows about dinosaurs. A very small mini golf area about the size a car would take up parking. A small area with small dinosaurs kids can sit on... For pictures maybe?</p> <p>Then there were paid things like mining for gems and face painting.</p> <p>We didn't do any of the paid things... We ended up spending 2.5 hours in the big area. So 3 hours total and 4 hours total if you include waiting to buy tickets.</p> <p>DH and I thought it was okay but LO who is 4 next month and loves dinosaurs.... LOVED IT. Talked about it the whole rest of the day with us so it was worth it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466871 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 17:52:14 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2466871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went last year when LO was 3. He was unimpressed and I thought it was a ripoff, frankly. He's never been big into dinos, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466565 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 15:00:26 +0000 Alivoo01 2466565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: Fingers crossed he's outgrown it and can enjoy the "park"! It looks amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466455 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:30:18 +0000 Raindrop 2466455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LilSprinkles: Thanks for the input.</p> <p>@Alivoo01: Yikes you make a good point! At Disneyland 2 years ago we took the train that went around the park because LO loves trains. There is a part where they had a dinosaur scene but it is a bit scary... LO loved Dinosaurs then (still does) but didn't like that! I'll have to ask DH about this but maybe since it was 2 years ago... LO might be okay now. Thanks for the comment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466434 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:21:57 +0000 Alivoo01 2466434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's all based on your kid's personality. DS is totally into dinosaurs right now (he's 2.5), but would be frightened to see them in person since they'll be larger than life and moving! Movies/TV is one thing, up close and personal is another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466393 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:08:33 +0000 LilSprinkles 2466393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took DS last year when he was 16 months, and this year when he was 28 months. He absolutely loved it. He is extremely obsessed dinosaurs, so it was perfect for him. It is a bit on the pricier side, so I would say go if your child is into dinosaurs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466322 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:36:33 +0000 Raindrop 2466322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I think it's been around for a while so it will probably still be around when your LO is older hopefully! *crosses fingers*</p> <p>But yeah the price is kind of high! We are going to try to spend the whole day there to try to get our moneys worth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466307 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:28:38 +0000 mediagirl 2466307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just looked that up - SO EXPENSIVE! But it looks like so much fun. I wish my lo was a little older and we would take her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466300 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:25:54 +0000 Raindrop 2466300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: Thank you so much. Exactly what I wanted to hear! </p> <p>@lilyann: Haha I'm glad they eventually liked it! My oldest seems to like things right away... but my youngest takes a LONG time to warm up to things so I wonder what will happen. If they both like it in the end I'll be happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466287 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:22:08 +0000 lilyann 2466287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my 3 and 1 year old were scared at first but ended up loving it and threw a fit when we had to go home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466256 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:11:32 +0000 Jess1483 2466256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 loved it at 2.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466247 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:07:32 +0000 Raindrop 2466247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Oh interesting! Thanks for input. Yeah it does seem over priced... I think it's 28 dollars a person!</p> <p>We are not doing a big party for LO#1 this year so we think this might make up for it. Hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466237 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:01:52 +0000 autumnlove 2466237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 year old was terrified and my almost 4year old had fun. I thought it was way overpriced. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/discover-the-dinosaurs#post-2466222 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:53:47 +0000 Raindrop 2466222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone been to Discover the Dinosaurs?</p> <p><a href="http://www.discoverthedinosaurs.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.discoverthedinosaurs.com/</a></p> <p>I saw a commercial about it and it's coming to my area soon. I think LO will really like it. He is almost 4.</p> <p>Just curious if anyone else has gone and how old their LOs where and if they liked it. Thanks in advance! </p>
