Took the family to Discover the Dinosaurs at Cashman Center 2 weeks ago to this event. Even though we live in Vegas and not too far from Disney, this was like nothing I have seen. My son loves Dinosaurs had a blast. Soon as you walk in it feels like you are back in time. My little one was a little scared as first, but the staff was nice enough for us to bring here through the back where it was brighter with dinosaurs activates so it did not seem as scary as the front, after a while she was okay, when she realized they were not real. The staff was awesome. In all it was a great thing to bring the family to.

the quality of the exhibits are not worth the price of admission. it is not for children over 6-7 years old. the jumping things and dinosaur rides are for "small" children. its a good thing we are the type of family that makes our outings fun no matter what. the worse part was that after using my credit card four times there - never once did anyone say "thank you." if your planning to go, you will have more fun & spend less doing something else.

I am glad to see so many people writing negative reviews. Only wish i would have read reviews before we paid almost 60 dollars for 2 adults and 1 child to attend. the commercials looked great and we were really excited about taking our son to this event but were very disappointed. only 1/4 of the auditorium was filled with dinosaurs to be viewed. the rest was inflatables for children to jump in. very disappointed and hope others read the reviews before going tomorow and wasting their money. I wish there was a place to write a review on their website or facebook page but i dont see where i can do this.

Went on Sunday, February 24 2013. Took my 4 year old who is loving dinosaurs right now. Thought this would be a great time for him. Unfortunately, it wasn't! After waiting in line for about 40 minutes (30 minutes in, a woman and her son walked out and told us what a waste of money and time it was), paying $70 for 2 adults, 1 child, and 1 senior, this is what we encountered: broken motorized dinosaurs, way overcrowded for the venue size, had to pay extra for him to do "dino dig", face painting, waited in line for almost an hour for him to go in a jump house for 4 minutes. That's it. So, we paid $70 for my son to go on a jumpy for 4 mins because the lines were way too long (over an hour) to do mini golf (which was literally a small square lined with artificial turf), or ride the dinosaurs.HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! It gets better, I found them on Facebook, posted my comment and they deleted it! They only keep the "good" reviews or ones they have responded to on their FB page.

I just left the Discover the Dinosaurs in Raleigh NC and I wish I had looked at the reviews earlier because it was awful. Thankfully we got 2 tickets for free and only purchased one (an adult ticket for $17!). The children's tickets were $20! We all left feeling disappointed and frustrated. I agree with all of 1 and 2 star reviewers. This event is a money wasting scam. They probably spent more money on the commercials than the actual event. I believe these were the same dinosaurs we paid extra to see at the NC Zoo last year. There were a little over 10 dinosaurs and the rest of the event was inflatables, face painting and mini-golf - the kind of stuff you see at festivals that are charging much lower prices. I would have been better off taking my 3 year old to Monkey Joe's to jump around on some decent inflatables. The lines were so long (longest about 30 mins) and there was too much stuff and too many people crammed into a small place. If your kid is into dinosaurs find a local museum to go to.

Wish I had seen the reviews on this prior to taking my son. This is not worth the money. Not only does it cost a lot to just walk around and the dinosaurs are not life size and the place is so small you can't even take a good picture because people are pushing and getting in the way they don't have a photo shoot spot for each dinosaur, everything that is shown on the commercials and advertised cost additional, $20.00 dollars for a wristband to get in the inflatables, the "Theater" was a projector on the floor, very bad place to have the projector because all the kids head were on the way, and the movie was The Land Before Time" cartoon with junk speakers that you can't even hear the sound and is not in a room is in the open area so the screen is not clear because of the sunlight, every area is so small, this event should be cancel forever.

If you have 30minutes and money is no object. By all means get your tickets to this event. Each "Extra" activity costs $6-$12 per kid to do, That's after spending $12-$17 per person to get in. What's worse is this event was split into 2 locations on the same weekend, between Philly and Reading, PA so Philly probably had 40 dinos while Reading(I attended) had 20 or less? It took 15-30 minutes to walk thru the display and there was NOTHING you couldn't read in an 8yrs olds Dino book. Only a few of those 20 dinos were animatronic. For this age group going to the Walking with Dinosaurs live event was 100x better and we spent about the same amount.
You have to buy tickets once inside to do activities, EACH TICKET is $2 and most booths require at least 3 tickets to participate= $6 per activity. or more. PER KID.
Sorry I didn't read the other reivews before shelling out $80+ for an hour in below average entertainment. The boys(10yr/11 yr) were moving thru so fast we'd have been done in 8-10 minutes if I didn't reel them back in and try to get them to read a least a couple of the display signs.
And to finish it off, what appeared to be a gang member almost ran down the kids I was with in the parking lot. SPEEDING thru a parking lot of kids AND Accelerated even though he could see my 10 yr old talking with his friend not paying attention. I had to push them over to the EDGE of the road as he approached, luckily i was right next to them the WHOLE TIME...

I read the reviews and stupidly still chose to attend this event in Boston on Jan 6 2013. I figured it was a day out with the kids, and they would like it regardless if the dinosaurs are not true to size, etc. Indeed it was just awful and a complete rip off. I waited hours in line for inflatables, paid $41 to get in for 1 adult and 2 kids and then $20 per wristband to use the inflatables. So crowded it was unbearable.
However, I didn't decide to write this review until I started getting the calls saying that I won the giveaway. They claim on the way in that they give away one trip to universal studiois per event, and that 2 winners were already chosen the previous two days.They tell the kids that thier parents can win as you walk in the door -- I foolishly signed myself and my husband up. I was sure surprised 3 days later when they called to tell me that I WON!! It's a complete travel scam and they have continuously called trying to get me to pay for something to win a week in orlando + a cruise + 4 days in Miami +3 days in Ft. Lauderdale -- you know the scam. HORRIBLE SCAM this is disgusting that they are allowed to do this.

if you still choose to attend this event -- my advice is to bring CASH otherwise you will wait for hours in line to do anything requiring $$ which is everything. Cash only lines are shorter.

As others have stated, this is a bait and switch event. It cost us $17 for each adult to get in and $12 per child. ($58 total). They promise big dinosaurs. They are in reality fairly small and fairly unimpressive. We saw much bigger and more impressive dinosaurs at a mini golf place that we went to not long ago. It was so crowded that my kids couldn't even see the 'exhibits'. They had to sit on our shoulders. Everything else in the place cost extra if it involved anything besides looking at a dinosaur. (Most didn't even move) $6 to sit on a dinosaur, $8 to jump on a bouncy house for a minute or two, $ extra to play a very amateurish looking mini golf, etc. We easily sailed through the whole exhibit in 1/2 hour. (including crowd navigation). They were only in town for one weekend for a reason. I heard so many rumbles from unhappy people that no one would ever return. Save your money. You will feel pillaged by the time you leave.

The first part where you get to learn about and see the large dinosaurs was very cool. My 3 year old son loved it. He also loved Digging for Dinosaur bones. you could push buttons to make them move and roar. However, once you are done with this section, you move to the activities-digging for gold, ride a dino, jumping pit, etc. It all costs additional money and it's not cheap. It cost $25 for my son and I to get in. Then the additional activities cost about $3 or 4 a piece. Luckily my son was ok with getting a bag of dinos (which were reasonably priced) and not doing the additional activities. I do not recommend this if you are strapped for cash. A family of 3 could have easily spent over $100 for this and it was not worth that much.

This was a huge rip off $49 dollars for me and my hubby to take our 3 year old. Then get this once in side you can push buttons to make the dinosaurs move and several of them were broken. We walked thru all of the displays hoping that the rides and stuff would be more fun ok not they wanted you to pay 2 dollars a ticket ok so we left. Will never go back and for that matter do not even what to go back to the Hampton Convention center.

I would not attend this again if it were free. There is almost no educational value here. There is no actual dinosaur bones, the displays are basically poorly made fiberglass models, and it is ridiculously expensive. None of the extras are included in the price. It took us about 15 mins to walk through this looking at every "display". This is cheesy and very amateurish. If you don't believe me look at other reviews online. Just stay away from this one. Go to an actual science museum for half the price instead.

Wish I had seen the reviews on this prior to taking my grandchildren. This is not worth the money. Not only does it cost alot to just walk around and the dinosuars are not life size, everything that is shown on the commercials and advertized cost additional Was only in the exhibit for about 45 minutes. I was not willing to pay an additional $6 for each event for my grandchildren to partipate. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Von Braun Center @

by Mazer13
First negative was that the dinosaurs were not their true height and size and they had a light image of a pterodactyl flying upside down on the wall. So I would not rate the event highly from an educational perspective. The real negative was after paying $50 for a family of 4, all the "fun stuff" as labeled on their website costs an excessive amount of additional money. $6 per person to slide or go in the jumper for 10 minutes or less is excessive, especially when you've already paid admission. At least 20% of the floor space of the event was setup to sell toys, which made it obvious the true intent of the event, to bleed as much money as possible from you. I recommend buying a $10 dino-dig kit and inflatable dinosaur from Amazon and watching DinoDan on tv for a fraction of the cost or take a day trip to the Dinosaur Trail at the Museum of Life & Science in NC for the same price for the whole family.
