Took my 5 year old son today. It was not like a museum, more of a display. There were a few cool things, but mostly "fluff" (dino coloring pages, dino to sit on and pose for pic, shooting nerf guns at dino heads, dino cartoon movie and video game set up). May be better for an older child who reads, as there was lots of good and interesting info. We were in and out in less than a half hour. Also, no bathroom there, so use the mall restroom beforehand. I would send my husband and son here again to kill time while I did shopping at the mall, but would not come only to see the Dinosaurium.

My family and I go in every time we are at the mall. It never gets boring. I find Dinosaurs fascinating and my daughter loves this place so much that she has asked to have her birthday party here. Can't wait to share this fun, yet educational, place with my friends and family.

We were incredulous that there could actually be a dinosaur museum in a mall, so we took the plunge. Unlike the typical museum dinosaur space, in this one you are right up there with the dinosaurs. It does not feel like a museum at all - kind of like what it would be to have a bunch of dinosaurs in your family room! And because they limit the number of people who can be in the space at any one time (I was afraid it would be full of little tykes running around like gerbils), it is just you and the dinos. The tickets are timed (although we were able to go right in), so you can go about your business in the mall and return at the appointed hour. Definitely oriented for kids, but this 54 year old thought it was just terrific. I am impressed that the mall has made this a focal point in its turnaround.
