Do not waste your time visiting this place, unless you just want to see the horribleness for yourself. First, my family and I are Christians - we do believe God created the world. However, as a popular comedian put it, "there are Christians that are cool, you can hang out with them, and then there are ones who are just creepy." If you'd like to meet the "creepy" ones then be their guests at "Dinosaur Adventure Land". My husband has enjoyed the teachings of Kent Hovind for years, and was terribly disappointed in this place. Yes, we knew he committed tax crimes, but figured the musuem/"adventure" park might be okay to check out anyway when we were in the area. Enough about us...Upon arrival it looked okay. Homemade but possibly fun for the kids. Got out and was stared at but not greeted by a volunteer or 2. Then a girl came and with (I'm sorry, the creepiest fake smile I've ever seen) came to give us a "tour". She then proceeded to walk us through this museum and awkwardly do a couple of instructional demonstrations and explanations. (all the while "smiling") She tied them in with Bible verses. She tried to make it relevant to real life. But all I could think was...wow...no wonder people are entirely creeped out by Christians. Something just felt "off". She walked us through a couple of days of creation and then abandoned us several times in the various "museum" rooms by ourselves. She never even made it through the 6 days...We later found her chatting with some other volunteers. One of which asked us if we were there for a tour. I told her the other girl had been giving us a tour. They both then acted annoyed that they had to give us a tour of the grounds. One complained that she had already done (THREE) tours that day...umm...did I mention we never asked for a tour and I would much prefer to NOT be given a tour by these complaining, creepy, volunteers? One of them said they would call some boy to give us a tour of the grounds but he never showed up. Anyway, I told them it was okay...we would just look around by ourselves. So we rushed our kids around to see a little bit of the crappy junk they have sitting outside and a few smelly farm animals. My husband, the loyal reader that he is, still wanted to see the bookstore. So we went in there and looked around. An employee or volunteer never came so we left. At that point we pretty much ran the kids to the car hoping no one would stop us on the way. Oh yeah, one other thing that made it creepy from the get-go, the girl that halfway showed us around also told us, "sorry you probably won't get to meet Kent today, he isn't feeling well...something happened...." (By the way we didn't say anything about meeting him.) I immediately went into an episode of Monk or Psych in my head trying to figure out what the crime was. Later I saw online that a 7 year old boy had drowned there a couple of months ago...maybe that was it...I have no idea. BUT to sum it up. The place was creepy. The people were creepy. It felt like a weird cult. People can stay in the cabins in return for volunteer work. The museum was on par with an elementary school science fair. Oh yeah, and there were only a couple of dinosaur statues so I'm not sure what makes it a dinosaur adventure land. Either stay away, or come to see for yourself. Love, a devoted follower of Christ - who doesn't believe in all the creepy fake smiles, rip-off attractions or tax evasion. read more

This is the most creepy place I have ever been to in my life. I feel like we survived a horror story and film. It is more of a cult and a cult compound. We made the mistake of going after being invited by Kent Hovind himself at the waffle house while we were out on a field trip and stopped to grab lunch thinking it was okay because he was a "Pastor" and learned very quickly that we all felt in danger of our lives. We arrived there at 2:11 and they kept us there for 3 hours. We thought it would be just a quick stop on the way home, something fun for the kids. We quickly found out differently. We walked into an empty ghost town that was very wierd and deserted. No children present at all. There were cabins through out the property that people lived in, My children were almost thrown from the jeep Mr.Hovind drove. I had to stop him and put my children securly in the inside of the jeep, all the while he was saying it's okay they are having fun. My daughter was slung and barely hanging on for dear life as I prayed for Jesus to protect her until he stopped so I could grab her. He had no care for their precious lives and slinging them around carelessly on the back of the jeep with nothing but a strap for them to hold on to going very fast and slingling them around, they took us off on the 100+ acres and we thought they were going to kill us, chop us up. He wanted us to take pictures with skeletons on a dirt pile back on the property. The smell of ammonia was prevalent very strongly on the property. They seemed like they were on drugs or something. I found myself saying what ever I could to get me and all my kids out of there. After 3 hours they brought us back to the front and wanted us to eat dinner with them. We declined and drove as fast as we could away from this place. I am a Minister and I advise everyone to stay far away from this place. We felt like we were in a never ending horror film. After leaving we researched a bit and found out about kidnappings, molestation, pedophiles, drownings, prison, people going and getting trapped there, and so much more. Thank God Jesus had us in His hands because this place was filled with demons and you could feel their presence. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! read more

First off I went there with my family twice back in 2021 hoping to do something fun and productive with my family during spring break and to kick off summer break. As time progressed the negativity manifested to the point of leaving once that "doctor" shrugged off and minimized the situation involving two injured boys on one of his ATV tours. The flimsy, outdated play area is a safety hazard I eventually learned to pull my child away from. Seat belts are discouraged. The "doctor" running the place even told me and other visits they didn't need them. He knows his time is short so he's stooping to a new low. Btw that old McDonald's crawl tube suspended ten feet over that concrete driveway near his nasty ball pit is bound to collapse or pinch or cut a small child. People were kicked out of Dinosaur Adventure Land between the times of my first and second visits for alcohol. This made my second visit much more difficult to the point I cut it short and abruptly left. Later that year the so-called doctor was arrested for a domestic issue involving his "third wife". Look up and read all about it. The guy claims to be a Christian minister but continues living in adultery with "wife #4" or whatever. Not an example for anyone much less children to follow. His YouTube channel (that was recently banned) was an idol to him and if anything he saw as an impediment to his "Bible study" which was basically a repetitive nightly mantra of his business racket he'd lose his mind. Yet it's okay for this "Christian" and "doctor" to openly resort to preschool level insults toward anyone who doesn't believe like he does. No humility, no respect, no penitence whatsoever. Don't support this phony. He's basically running another dead end cult that potentially draws pedophiles, druggies, and others who claim to not fit well into society and decided to move to that "Dinosaur Adventure Land" with little or nothing to fall back on. The old location in Pensacola, FL was already shutdown when that "doctor" was imprisoned for tax evasion years ago. He's no more a doctor than I am and I don't even have a college degree! read more

This is not anything like an Adventure Land. It is a cult compound for the notorious convicted tax fraud Kent Hovind. There aren't even any dinosaurs. It is a bait and switch con to get you to donate, buy books at a crappy books store or convert you to the stupid cult of young earth creationism. This cult believes man lived with dinosaurs and the earth is only 6,000 yo and Noahs flood was real. The facilities are primitive and a safety hazard. You have to sign a waiver before entering as they have no public insurance and they have to approve any photo or video. Sounds delightful doesn't it Do not take children there. It lacks basic safety and hygiene. This is a sovereign citizen Waco wanna be compound with no facilities and has nothing to see. Wasted 2 hours of time even going to the backwoods Zika ridden old gravel pit. Its a dump. Take your own water. I wouldn't trust their self made wells. The staff were nice enough but didn't know anything about dinosaurs or science. The science centre is nothing more than a collection of old crap and some horrible unscientific nonsense on posters that look like they were done by a slow class. Avoid this dump. RB Agrippa and family. read more

Run by a dubious preacher claiming to be a Dr who welcomes two offender friends which in my opinion make it unsafe for children. A few years back a child drowned in the lake there but "Dr" Hovind just waved it off saying the other kids had a blast! Be careful, Hovind has just been through his fourth wife in under ten years and is asking for women to fill his "henhouse" to serve the "man cave." Supposedly free but puts the pressure on for big donations. The science center is a way to ensure your kids grow up dumb. Says that man lived with and rode dinosaurs and that the Earth is only 6000 years old. Remember The Flintstones isn't a documentary. read more

A complete fraud of a place by a complete fraud of a man. Fortunately, it's so pathetic, it won't appeal to anyone but those who have already quaffed the Koolaid. Be aware that there is virtually nothing here of actual educational value with respect to dinosaurs and nothing that can be described as an "adventure." No-one connected to this place has the actual credentials necessary to claim expertise. Hovind makes astoundingly ignorant claims on a regular basis. Do yourself and your kids a favor.... Give this place a wide berth. read more

for starters the person who runs this place is a convicted felon, woman beater, narcissist and his teachings are complete misinformation not backed by any fact. plus I think a kid drowned there years ago. whole thing gave me a creepy ass vibe. very empty and uncanny feeling once there. 0/10 do not recomend read more

Misinformation abounds throughout this park. The Christian owner was convicted of domestic violence against his estranged spouse (he had several), pals around with his pedophiles, and negligently killed a seven year old child. He's also a tax fraud and served prison time. Stay away! read more

If you want to learn about dinosaurs, go to an actual natural history museum. If you want exposure to unfounded and wildly false opinions about dinosaurs and evolution from a Biblical perspective, then still go to an actual natural history museum instead of confirming your bias. read more

As far as young earth creation places to visit this is by far the best one for families. The Ark encounter is more of a walkthrough and education focused. Kids can get board easy, but DAL is activity based and family oriented. You can choose to learn or play. read more

The place is well known for been owned by a cult, the place is actually nice and I think any kid will be happy to visit but the small town gossip said that whoever own it has been in jail recently so use your own judgement, to me personally is a no no! read more

This place was terrifying. It is like a cult compound. Very scary and skewed view of creation and God. Dirty floors, smelly rooms, and scary dead animals. We couldn't get out fast enough. Stay away!! read more

Seems like it should be called "child rape adventureland" https://www.thedailybeast.com/preacher-kent-hovind-accused-of-enabling-a-pedophile-at-his-christian-dinosaur-adventure-land-theme-park read more

A Great place for the kids and fun for everyone. There are activities and playgrounds for the kids and an interactive museum. Kent gives 4 wheel drive tours and there are talks at night. read more

Great teaching of The Bible! I have learned a lot and thanks to Jesus using Mr. Hovind to break down The Word, and learning the knowledge of where dinosaurs came from. Jesus is Good! read more

A cult compound built it wastelands of Alabama by donations from the credulous to fuel a madman's retirement need for attention

DAL really tried to be a theme park but fails in every aspect. Run by three time divorced and four times married Kent Hovind

Kids died to spread lies. A creationist dream a Normal persons nightmare. I want my reward for proving evolution. read more

It's full of fake statistics and is harsh misinformation. Go here for a laugh but not any actual information
