The Dinosaur Place Adventure Park Season Begins Soon

OAKDALE, CT — The Dinosaur Place at Nature's Art Village is welcoming the public with upgraded and expanded attractions along with "tons of fun and engaging family-friendly times," according to a statement. The season kicks off April 1.

The theme this year is "Big Season," referring to the massive dinosaurs as well as "the big fun awaiting all who visit the unique family-oriented adventure park."

“We have been hard at work all offseason to put together exciting new features and events we know visitors near and far will truly enjoy,” Nature’s Art Village owner said in a statement. “It is a perfect place for children to learn about our prehistoric past and the beauty of nature.”

New and expanded attractions include an expansion of the Splash Pad, a family train called Lucky Leroy, and Lil Tikes Trikes, a pedal kart adventure for toddlers ages two to five.

The Dinosaur Place will also host "a prehistoric spin on the traditional egg hunt." This year, visitors can search the outdoor adventure park for thousands of dinosaur eggs during the Dino Egg Hunt, being held Saturday, April 9, at 10 a.m.

Every egg hunter is guaranteed to find eggs and win prizes, and the Easter Bunny will be hopping around the trails available for memorable family photos. Tickets to the Dino Egg Hunt can be purchased online.

From April 1 to 9, Nature’s Art Village will be running a charity raffle, with the winner receiving a huge Coca-Cola Polar Bear. All donations will go to Safe Futures of New London. Safe Futures saves lives, restores hope and changes the future for those impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and trafficking in southeastern Connecticut.
