Explore Three Acres of Prehistoric Wonder
Dinosauria, presented by Michigan First Credit Union, returns for the 2026 season, and this year we’ve hatched a completely refreshed experience. Get ready for a new trail layout, massive new species and immersive thrills that will transport your family millions of years into the past. Whether you’re a budding paleontologist or just looking for a “T-Rexcellent” adventure, there’s never been a better time to walk among the giants.
What’s New for 2026?
• Meet the New Giants. Stare up at the Omeisaurus, a towering new addition stretching 50 feet long and 25 feet high! Keep your eyes peeled for the sharp-horned Carnotaurus and the flying Tupandactylus soaring overhead.
• Climb the Dinos. Don’t just look — play! We’ve added two 16-foot climbable dinosaurs — a Parasaurolophus near the entrance and a Triceratops on the trail.
• Step Inside the Egg. Capture the perfect memory in our new walk-in fiberglass Dinosaur Egg. It’s the ultimate photo op for your little hatchlings.
• Build Your Own Adventure. Foam bone kits let young paleontologists construct their own dinosaur skeletons. Part science, part puzzle, all fun!
Returning Favorites
• Immersive Trail. A lush, 3-acre one-way trail teeming with 25+ lifelike animatronic dinosaurs.
• Dig for Treasure. Find multiple dig pits where young explorers can uncover hidden dinosaur bones.
• Jurassic Souvenirs. Stop by the Dino Tent gift shop for unique, prehistoric-themed gifts, games, apparel and souvenirs.
