If you are looking for a fun filled afternoon with your kids, then I highly recommend visiting dinosaur land children’s museum. The activities are endless and engaging for children of all ages. They have a fun dinosaur trail and a several buildings that house different dinosaur related activities. If you want a mixture of the outdoors and indoors they have it! They even have some animal exhibits ( peacocks, chickens , goats and rabbits) that you can feed the animals. They are working on further expansions and will soon be adding a princess land to the venue!! Can’t wait to come back again!

It is an amazing place to spend an afternoon with the kids. Besides the Dinosaurs on display they have other activities like building blocks, kids games and petting zoo. Staff is very friendly and they brought out a baby Dino puppet that was very cool too. All in all a great experience. My kid loved it. Will be back soon!

I had a fantastic time here with my little one, who was having so much fun she didn’t want to leave! There were plenty of engaging activities to keep her entertained for hours. The fun little ice cream truck serving snacks, along with other toys to play with, was a big hit. We especially loved feeding the goats, chickens, and even an emu – very fun experience! This is the perfect spot to enjoy a nice day outdoors and get out of the house. I look forward to returning and seeing how the place grows. It’s really great to have a place like this for kids right here in Azle!
