Dinoland, U.S.A.


Dinoland, U.S.A. is a cross between an archaeological dig site (a place where they dig up dinosaur bones) and a roadside carnival. It is home to a children’s play area, a nature trail, a thrill ride, and a 1500 seat theater (where Paula’s favorite show is located)!  



There are five attractions in Dinoland, but one (called Primeval Whirl) will be closed when we go. The four that we can experience are:

The Boneyard—This is playground designed to look like a dinosaur bone dig site. You can swing, slide and climb on dino skeletons. You can also dig in sandpits for dinosaur bones and fossils! 



Dinosaur!—This is a ride where you travel back in time on a search and rescue mission. We need to find a dinosaur and bring it back to modern times with us. We will need to be careful, though… there are meat-eating dinosaurs along the trail! 



Finding Nemo—The Musical—This is Paula’s favorite show!  The show has dancing, special effects, on-stage human performers that tell the Nemo story though puppets! This show is wonderful!



TriceraTop Spin—In this ride, you climb inside a Triceratop and fly into the air. The ride is a lot like the Dumbo ride. You can control your dinosaur, making it fly up and down in a circle.
