dinosaur park

The history of Dinosaur Park is great and the views are amazing. You can see for miles! It provides you with excellent photography opportunities.

What a great place to take kids and think you are teaching them something about the past along with the fact they can climb all over the small dinosaurs. This was a site we settled for a simple hot dog and chips for lunch picnic. A needed break!

I'm not sure it technically qualifies as a park, but it is an okay way to kill 45 minutes or so of your day in Rapid City. If you like large balls of twine, petrified rocks, "Carhenge", and other attractions of that ilk, you will probably find yourself here at one point or another. Other than the large statue shown above, there are a couple of other smaller dinosaurs to see, and a large souvenir and gift shop. The ice cream treats are good on a hot day.

It is a very fun place to go to. We have made it a tradition each time we go out to the Rapid City area. I would especially suggest it to families with young kids, but I still enjoy the park and its view as an adult.

This park was not really much fun for our boys. It was quite a climb to the top and it is a good view once you get to the top but the dinosaurs are not really much to see for young children that are not too interested in dinosaurs in the first place. I enjoyed seeing it just because I like to see all these kind of attractions.

My boyfriend and I went it was a few stairs to get to the top.The Mosquitos ate the crap out of me. They had a really good souvenir shop. Ideal for kids.

Our 2 young boys had a blast exploring the park and climbing on the dinosaurs. Nice gift shop across the street. Food available for lunch. Friendly staff.

My family likes to go to Dinosaur Park. My kids like to crawl around on top of the dinosaurs. There are a bunch of steps up to get to the park. There is a very good view of Rapid City from the top. The park is free. They do have a nice gift shop at the parking lot. They sell hot dogs for $1.

Nice walk, what view. And dinosaurs! Don't turn back, continue on the road for more wonderful sights. This was a great introduction to the mountains for a flatlander as we started our Black Hills and Badlands tour. There are lots of steps

A great view of the city and surrounds right in the middle of town. Big fibreglass dinosaurs and who doesn't like dinosaurs!!! there's also a gift shop and café. Worth a stop if you have young kids

A decent place to take the kids, stretch your legs and snap a few photo-ops. Admission is free. Plenty of parking space. A quick walk up stairs to see some dinosaur statues. The trip can be as long or short as you want it to be. Honestly, they're just dinosaurs so I went up to check them out while BF and dogs waited in the car. There's also a gift shop that serves a couple items and restrooms in the building near the parking lot. Lots of dinosaur related stuff as well as toys. And there ya have it folks!

Took the grandkids to this attraction. The kids enjoyed crawling on the dinosaurs. Some little ones might be scared because they are large. This was not wheelchair friendly because you have to climb about 50 steps to the top. It was off season so there were not any available bathrooms. There was a picnic table and trash cans. The views of Rapid City were very nice from there and it is just minutes from downtown. It is not an attraction I would see again, but once to take kids was okay.

We just made a quick trip for old times sake. The dinosaurs are fun to see. It's a good bit of exercise to get up the stairs to the dinosaurs, but the views are well worth it.

I love the dinosaur on the hill. Been staring at it since I was a kid. Worth the drive to see it. Kids love it.
