Prehistoric Gardens

Waaayy too expensive, but at the same time, worth a stop? The walk is short and flat, so anyone can manage it. The website says the artist consulted with scientists to ensure the dinosaurs are realistic, which is half the fun when you see their derpy little faces. Informative boards are sporadically placed along the trail, so it is semi educational. Gift shop is spendy, but we still ended up happily paying $170 for 4 tshirts and 2 stickers. This will be a highlight of our trip.

This place is so with the stop on our vacation in Gold Beach oregon.
Very cool.
Watch out for the prices in the gift shop. A $15 t-shirt was $40, but they had cool stuff

Awesome, it’s a trail walk you can take as much time as you’d like and there’s a lot of little benches and photo spots throughout.

This place is such a gem. We stumbled upon it around 20 years ago and loved it so planned our more recent trip to include it now we have our son with us.

This is a vintage roadside attraction featuring a couple of dozen dinosaur statues in an Oregon rain forest - it's beautiful, enchanting even, and the dinosaurs have a delightfully friendly quality in their expressions and posing.

The park makes a real effort to provide interesting and accurate information about their subjects and the whole experience of purchasing tickets and entering the park is easy.

I really recommend this - not many people there on our recent visit and I really hope the park can continue and prosper - and that they don't do much or anything to change it. Love it.

I wish I had visited as a kid. This place is delightful and I had no idea. Please stop as you're driving 101. There is admission, $14 for adults and I think $10 for kids. It's worth the stop just to be in the forest with these magnificent statues!

Oh what fun !! Kind of in the middle of nowhere. Super cool, though. A fun little stroll through time. Really neat dinos with explanations of who they are and the area makes it feel like you are back in time.

We have wanted to take the kids here for years, and finally got the opportunity. It is a bit of a drive, but it was worth it. We were expecting a cheesy tourist trap, but it turned out to have lots of good educational signs giving information about ancient flora and fauna. There are enough displays to keep the family busy for a good hour, and a lovely little gift shop. Worth trying at least once!

This place was fun as a kid and going back with your own kiddo is so enjoyable. One of the displays is no longer there so that's sad but it still is a fun place to walk through. The forest and plants being so old now make it even better.

This is a very interesting place, even for adults. Really fun for kids. Amazing that these have been hand formed. It's like a nice outdoor art gallery. The owners grandfather made them. They truly are pieces of art. Very nice that it is open to the public.

We were on a road trip, and this place is the perfect way to get out and stretch your legs while enjoying the ✨Lush✨ greenery! Super cute roadside attraction with friendly staff and a great lil gift shop. 😊👍👍

Fun for all ages! We arrived just 20 mins before closing time but the owner was so kind and told us not to worry about it. This park is an outdoor walking tour type with a trail. There are huge dinosaurs throughout hidden and not so hidden with fun facts about each. What we loved most was how authentic it would have felt to be in the woods so many millions of years ago, the plants and trees felt millions of years old. Kids ages 2-8 all had tons of fun and they didn’t get tired at all walking. If it’s raining, the park does offer umbrellas and strollers for guest use at the entry. Nice gift shop at the end. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely love this place. The trees around you and your imagination could bring you in the past. The sculptures are adorable and weird at the same time, but both effects are cool to experience. Could be great if there would be some sound effects.

I met one of the 4th generations family members of the founders of this nostalgic stop. I arrived just before closing on a dreary winter day and she was above and beyond gracious in letting me take my time to buy some souvenir treasures for myself and to take home to my husband. Us being old hippy types we love incense and they have a huge variety, with new scents. I splurged an bought myself a really cute hoodie. I will most definitely be excited to return with our grandkids to walk through the dinosaur forest, as my grandparents once did with me:)

This was wonderful! My husband and I got to explore this beautiful place on a Monday in September. It wasn't busy and we were allowed to take our fur baby.

This place was AWESOME!! My wife and I just had to stop when we saw a Lifesize tyrannosaurus rex staring at us from the side of 101. Best $27 we spent on the whe trip. The dinos aren't perfect, but that's understandable since theyre home made replicas from the 50s and 60s. The gift shop was a little weak sauce, but we went for the big lizards so it's ok.

This a great little road side attraction. Decent price, pretty scenery. The kids liked to see the life size dinosaurs and wildlife.

Any science lovers out there with kids. This is the place to go. Its a great learning experience for the whole family. LOVE THE PLACE!

This was a spur of the moment stop on our way back from California. While it was a bit pricey, it was a super fun and educational trip through the age of dinosaurs.

Conveniently located off of highway 101, there is ample parking as well as fun statues and animal attractions in the front of the building.

Inside, the heavily wooded pathways take you around some very old and giant trees and scenic creek beds with fun bridges to cross over while exploring the dinosaur exhibits.

There is a lot of great information along with the really well done statues of dinosaurs along the way. I have included some photos to show. It doesn't take a super long time to finish, but it is worth a trip to experience.

One apon a time before mine craft men had ideas and built REAL things. This is a tribute to a man's dream and his families willingness to support it. The display is laid out along a short windy path in a beautiful lush forest. Informational signs and placards can provide educational value if you are so inclined. The real stars are the concrete Dino replicas! They range from realistic to humorous to mildly scary. They express a wide range of emotions. Such as, Labrador playful, annoyed, aloof, bashful, spiteful and wide eyed terror. I had a wonderful time taking photos and I plan on framing the guide map. If you have a playful spirit, like dinos and have a tenner to burn, then please stop and support this unique roadside attraction.

What a wonderful surprise! My hubby and I truly enjoyed the life-size, true replicas of these Dinosaurs and all the great information about them, the plants and trees. Nestled in a redwood forest, which gives enhanced excitement to the visiting experience. Super easy to find, it's right on Hwy 101 between Gold Beach and Port Orford. They are open every day, admission is very reasonable, the trail is easy to walk, perfect for all ages, including toddlers. We can't wait to show this amazing park to our grandkids!
