Dinosaur Park

I was amazed by the exceptional cleanliness and meticulous maintenance of the place I recently visited. From the moment I entered, I was greeted with a spotless environment that exuded a sense of freshness. The floors were immaculate, shining as if they had just been polished. Not a speck of dust or dirt could be found on any surface, and the air carried a pleasant aroma of cleanliness. The washrooms were impeccably maintained, stocked with supplies and maintained in a pristine condition throughout my visit. Every corner and crevice seemed to have received thorough attention, reflecting a true commitment to cleanliness. The staff members were constantly on the move, diligently attending to any mess or clutter that might arise. It was evident that they took great pride in their work. The overall level of cleanliness and upkeep in this place was truly exceptional, creating an inviting and hygienic atmosphere. I left with a sense of admiration and satisfaction, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a clean and well-maintained environment.

Oh! My! GOD!!!
This place was EVERYTHING I was hoping for!
Kitschy, beautiful, dinosaury, wonderful!
One thing to know, however, is that the entire place is under construction to make access easier. Check before you go if mobility is a concern (but it's on top of a hill with lots of stairs anyway. The new construction might address that.)
It's exactly what you'd expect in an old roadside attraction.

This was such a cool and fun place to take the kids to! My kids had a blast walking up to the dinosaurs. And the view from up top was amazing to see!
They are remodeling the area so there was a little bit of construction but it only had one dinosaur that wasn’t accessible. The construction looks like the are going to upgrade the path to the dinosaurs. I Can’t wait to see it completed!
The gift shop was nice and had a lot of stuff to choose from! And the person working the register was friendly.

For something that has been around for close to 100 years, it's very well taken care of. Little kids will love the dinosaurs, and adults will love the amazing views. A must see if you're vacationing in the area.

Absolutely amazing place. More of like a great view of the city of Rapid City, the dinosaurs are what they are from 1936. Oh, but definitely a great hike and a lot of fun. I probably wouldn’t say make an entire trip out here just for that but while you’re out here, definitely stop by. And make sure and check out the gift shop. It is seasonally open which they close after October. But great prices on everything that is in the store. They also have snacks like hotdogs, ice cream and popcorn.

This place is super cool... Has a very jurassic feel to it.

This was fun for the kids. The gift shop was really good and had excellent prices. To see the dinosaurs you have to go up some stairs which are pretty steep so be prepared. The view from the top was really nice though. The dinosaurs are huge but in need of a fresh paint job. It feels pretty run down. It is free though so I can't knock it!

My kids love to go. We like to go for small hikes or to just sit and enjoy each other's company with beautiful views. There's a couple of trail heads off the beaten path. Of course as always use caution its a must with kids. There's a hillside of stairs to tackle to get to the dinosaurs but slow and easy does it. Sun up and sun set are always beautiful. No restrooms up on the hill but there is a gift shop across the street where you would park. Update: I believe they are making it handicap accessible. They have been doing some construction work on the stairs.

Stick to the trail. I went off the beaten path and got more than I bargained for with that steep climb all the way up. But I never ran into any ticks, or snakes, or any poison ivy that my hiking mind always looks out for. Just a pitch that is almost pure luck to climb. Please, adventures will happen but this is a trail you should stick to if you value your life!

Loved this unexpected fun stop!! Quirky and cool! If you have a dinosaur lover in your family, it's a must! They are currently renovating, and it's going to be restored to its former glory. Can't wait to go back.

My daughter was so excited to see this park, but upon arrival, the park was closed due to construction.
Ended up taking the Skyline Rd to Mt. Rushmore, please go the speed limit! The road is windy (why-n-dee), and the road has many flaws that could cause an accident, along with bicyclists and pedestrians.

Fun place to visit with young kids. The dinosaurs are kind of cheesy but look pretty good for being 87 years old. The gift store is really nice with good prices for souviniers

Really cool place to stop! There are several stairs since it's at the top of a hill so it's a nice place to stretch your legs during a drive. The dinosaurs are cool and there's also a gift shop/visitor center (though it was closed when I went). Nice view from the top and there's some benches as well. It's free and there's also a big free parking lot at the visitor center. I would recommend a visit!

This park has been a staple in my family for 5 generations now. From my grandparents to my grandsons now, it's a must when they come to visit. Gorgeous 360 view of the city and the sunset never fails to impress. The dinosaurs are huge! And kids think they're amazing. It's a great place to spend an hour and stop in at the gift shop across the way for a dinosaur souvenir and a $2.48 all beef hot dog.

Still lots of construction and the gift shop is great! Definitely the best place I found to buy souvenirs!

A short walk and you are beside dinosaurs created in 1936. The park is a must for small travelers. I first visited here at 5 years old. Looking forward to bringing my grandsons on my next visit. Nice gift shop and visitor center.

Great little park to take the kids to. You can tell the statues are very dated, but the plaque said it was built in the 1930s and there's no admission fee so I suppose it's to be expected. Your kids won't care anyways.

You have a 360 degree view of the city from the highest point and the sunset is gorgeous. Definitely come if you have kids who are into dinos, or even if you just want a nice view of the city.

This is a nice way to kill some time between activities in the area. Beautiful views, fun photos ops and a great little gift shop. My son noticed the same items were more expensive at the Reptile zoo. T shirts only $6 or $10! The drive up is very windy, be safe zig zagging yo the hill!

A little overlook with dinosaur statues. It's a nice little spot to check out the City with a view. There was Construction Being done For stairs to make a straight up Pathway while we were there.

Cute area for kids and they have a really nice gift shop and incredible views
