Dude, it's the COOLEST place!

So we went to Jurassic Forest, and it was pretty much the greatest place ever. I took the boys and my mom and we went, not knowing just what to expect.

For those of you that don't know, Jurassic Forest is a park north of Gibbons (in the middle of nowhere) that is brand new and contains animatronic dinosaurs. It's like going to the zoo, but with dinosaurs instead. The dinos are always doing small movements, but are triggered by sensors that we walk by on the path to make larger movements and sounds. It's amazing. When you get there, there is a playground that is the centre of the park, and there are 2 loops that you walk to see the dinosaurs. There are no visible wires, no paths out to the dinosaurs, and it looks SO real. Even though Nathan knows that dinosaurs are extinct, we had to tell him that no, these aren't real! The signs around the park were funny and made it that much cooler.

The dinosaurs are all built to scale. Some of them are close to the paths, some are far away.

Here are some raptors chasing a brachiosaurus. It looked amazing.

A t-rex eating another small dino. Nathan thought this was very cool and cheered on the t-rex.

Adorable little wagons that they have on-site!

A small indoor centre with more cool stuff!

The boardwalk paths in the forest. So nice.


The playground has bones underneath the sand!

Cool stuff to climb on.
