If you're in Las Vegas and looking for something fun to do with kids beyond the Strip, this dinosaur outpost play spot is such a great find, especially if your little ones are obsessed with dinosaurs like ours! It's located just outside the Strip at an outdoor mall, super easy to get to and not far at all. At first, I honestly thought it might be a temporary pop-up, but it actually seems like a permanent setup, and it's huge. The highlight is definitely the animatronic dinosaurs. T la hey're seriously impressive and kept our kids completely engaged. The space is divided into different themed play areas, which makes it feel like there's always something new to explore. There's a bike track, a paleontology dig area, a sand zone, puzzles, a tug-of-war game with a triceratops, and even a section where kids can "feed" dinosaurs with balls. At the end, there's also a small jungle gym to climb around on. There are endless things for kids to do here. We easily spent a solid two hours and could've stayed longer. It's the kind of place that keeps them moving, playing, and using their imagination the whole time. I also noticed they host parties, which would be such a fun idea for a birthday. Overall, the price felt very reasonable for how much time we spent there and how much the kids enjoyed it. Honestly, I just wish we had something like this closer to home! read more

My son doesn't just love dinosaurs he's obsessed. He lives and breaths dinosaurs. He constantly roars at me and has an army of dino toys that he carries with everywhere. I knew I had to take him here for his 2nd birthday when I found out it existed. It was us and several other family and close friends that went with him. All of us were adults. I do wish they had family packages because it's definitely geared towards kids in elementary school or younger but each adult still had to pay 24 dollars each, and that was with a Nevada resident discount. My son was free because he was just under their signs height at least, but 24 dollars added up fast for something that we were not the target audience for. At least the admission is for all day and you can come in and out if you want to grab food. They do make the entrance into the experience special for the kids and it involves pushing lots of buttons and a time machine. The actual animatronics are impressive and they have lots of different areas to stimulate little brains. Puzzles, intricate ways to feed a dino balls using different tubes and levers, an area you can try to shoot balls into dino mouths, a small race track with little vehicles, a large dino they can ride, a person coming around with a dino puppet, educational info on dinos, a sand pit area they can pretend the are archeologists, a coloring station, a place to fishing, a dino tooth brushing station, dino tug of war, and a multilevel playground where you only wear socks. My son enjoyed every second of it. Its definitely a perfect spot for a dino obsessed child. read more

My 6 year old and 3 year old boys had so much fun here. We came on a Tuesday and there wasn't too many people which was nice. There's tons of different stations you can stop by. My boys got stuck on each activity and we ended up staying for 3 hours!! Tyler was awesome. He was great at customer service and multi tasking at each station. The only thing I'd say was a little shocker was the entry price. I think it should be priced less, $18-$20 is reasonable. Other than that, it was great! read more

Dinosaur fans will love it! Great for birthday parties, though charging for adults makes it a little expensive. Perfect for hot days since it's indoors. Just the right size--2 hours is plenty to have a blast! read more

We found this place while shopping at Town Square. It was $48 for my husband and I and my son was able to get I free. I thought that was pretty pricy but I know it's to recoup the revenue lost on kids that get in free. They do have a locals discount which is always a plus. My son enjoyed it. They have moving dinosaurs, a small play area, some sandboxes where you dig for fossils, you can fish (no water) and ride on the dinosaur ride. They also have a small gift shop where you can get some souvenirs. It's a quaint little place that kids elementary aged and below would enjoy. I would go back and let my son blow off some energy as he definitely had a blast. read more

This place hit the jackpot (pun intended) with my little one. It's about 2 miles away from the strip in an outdoor shopping plaza. I stumbled across this place in my social and my little one loved it so much. Prior to visit: complete the waiver online and buy this ticket on their website. They have pricing for locals and non-locals but if you buy the tickets online and use promo code "Nonlocal"...you can get the price for locals. In and out access all day. We left for lunch and came back afterwards. Entrance: I won't ruin the surprise but your little one will absolute feel like the has the power to open the doors of Jurassic Park. Inside the play area, there is so much to do: - most of all the dinosaur moves with dinosaur roars - several activity stations. (Fishing, trex brushing station, pulling a triceratops, water table, fossil digging in sand, play obstacle with several levels, drawing with the images projected onto the screen, etc) Gift Shop: everything dinosaur themed thing you can imagine. The best part about the gift shop from a parent perspective...everything is reasonable. I absolutely can tell that the owner is a dinosaur fanatic and created something really amazing for kiddos. The dinosaurs and play areas has been really taken care of since I couldn't spot any wear or tears. If you are headed to Vegas on a trip and live nearby, this place is an absolute MUST VISIT. After this visit, this is going to be one of my spots in Vegas. Special shout out to Ranger Michelle for making my little one have such a great experience! read more

Truly an awesome place to take your little ones! I just wish they had one on the Northwest side of town too! If you haven't gone already...go! I promise you will love it! read more

There were a few things I was worried about upon reading other reviews but completely changed once I got there. First and foremost. Times are definitely hard, being able to take your kid out to a place like this is a luxury. I was worried that the space would be small and crowded or that we wouldn't have the chance to get a full experience making it "worth" our money. For a family of 3 with discounts we paid $70ish. Check-in was kinda slow if you don't buy tickets in advance. Please do fill out your waivers before going because that's what holds up the line the most. They have military discount you have to ask for in person. Entering dinosaur outpost through the "time machine" is what starts the magic! It's interactive, the park rangers are in character. It was so fun for my son, seeing the way he reacted for the first time to everything is a core memory FOR ME! That already made it all worth it. I'll admit it's not the biggest, BUT they really make use of all the space inside. Almost every piece and section is interactive and intentional. There are games, art stations, puzzles, water table, a dig pit, of course the playground. Even with a birthday party going on, I never felt like it was too crowded. We could still roam comfortably and go back to activities, taking turns. So many different things to do, and sure you can go through everything in an hour but so what? Keep going back, let your kid be a kid. Let them roam and play freely & JOIN THEM! I wouldn't say I paid $24 just to watch my kid play. Get in there and do the activities with them? Lol. But hey if you need to take a break there are tons of benches and seating areas. With the in & out privileges and good planning, I think you can definitely make it "worth" your money. We stayed for 3 hours and my son was heartbroken when we had to leave but if I had the time, I would've gotten lunch and came back in for some more play. Also just a shout out to all the employees, because they did an amazing job at keeping everything clean. I always saw someone going around the different stations to reset them so other kids and families could enjoy. read more

This is a great place to take your kids for a few hours of fun. It really only takes a solid hour to do everything but my kids had a great time. Especially my dinosaur loving daughter. There was a scavenger hunt with Easter eggs when we went. The giant dinosaur the kids can sit on and take pictures was a nice surprise. It moved a little too. There were several interactive elements that I thought were a nice touch, like brushing a dinos teeth. The little pedal bikes were for small kids but it didnt stop bigger kids from getting on them. All the staff was super friendly and nice. This place is clean and fun. I just wish it was around when my kids were a little smaller. I feel its defintely for 8 and younger. Sadly my girls just turned 9. read more

We were lucky enough to attend a birthday party at Dinosaur Outpost centrally located at Town Square in Las Vegas (park near Yardhouse or Guitar Center). It was such a fun party! The kids enjoyed the interactive experience, the playground, and the Dino ride. I liked that once you were inside, everything seemed to be included in admission. I know the price tag is a hindrance for some, as it costs $20+ per person. I think if you go on a day when you have plenty of time you can make it worth your while as you can leave and come back after lunch or nap. Looking for kid friendly things to do in Las Vegas can be challenging - this educational and well air conditioned attraction is a good one to add to your list! read more

Dinosaur Outpost is definitely a fun spot for kids! The place is filled with dinosaurs that move and make sounds, which is pretty fascinating to watch. There are also some great interactive activities for kids, like drawing their own dinos and then scanning the drawings to see them come to life on the screen -- such an amazing experience. There's also a play area with a swing and slide, and kids can even ride a dinosaur, which is a fun touch! Overall, it's a fun experience for the little ones, but the downside is the price. It's $24 for locals, and they charge for both kids (3' and up) and parents. For example, I took my son and ended up paying $48, which seems a bit high given the small size of the area and the fact that you can only spend about 1-1.5 hours there. read more

We happen to stumble upon this while walking around and honestly...pretty impressed. Tickets are $24 for locals and I'd say that is fair but I wouldn't pay more than that as an adult. It's very interactive which my 8 yr old dinosaur loving kiddo loved and my 6 yr old girl had a blast. It isn't the biggest space but they definitely used it well. They have all sorts of activities and lots of cool information about the most common and well known dinosaurs. All of the "rangers" were so kind and pleasant. I'd defiantly recommend purchasing tickets and filling out waivers prior to going as that would have made our check in process quicker. We spent an hour inside cause we had other plans but my son (8) probably could have stayed longer and stayed entertained. I'd like to say we will definitely be back but I'm not sure as it seems like it's a place you visit once but I know if we do my kids would still have fun. They do have season passes available and some other discounted tickets which I think is great. They also advertised something for k-5 students that you can show them your report card and can get in. I think this place is a must visit for any kiddo that loves dinosaurs. read more

This place was not at all what I expected...IT WAS WAY BETTER. I honestly thought it was just going to be my family walking around and looking at some animatronic dinos, but no...it was so so much more than that. Dinosaur Outpost is completely interactive, with multiple different rooms that have "stations" of different activities. From coloring, to puzzle building and from brushing a dinosaur's teeth to actually riding on a full-sized moving triceratops - there is so much to do! Your children will not get bored. We spent about 6 hours here, with a break for lunch. Honestly though, what makes this place is the staff. Think Disneyland staff experience, but for dinosaurs. Every staff member was invested in the children and making sure they had an amazing experience. They keep the facilities very well maintained and clean. Some activities do require staff help - like riding the triceratops or scanning your dinosaur drawing in to be projected on the screen. But, they were very attentive and we never had to wait long. So, if you are leery about the pricing - don't be. It's completely worth the money. I think that if ticket prices were any less, they wouldn't be able to have such involved staff present. read more

Dinosaur Outpost is located at Town Square in Las Vegas. The shopping center has many restaurants, stores, an arcade, and a movie theatre. There is plenty of parking when you arrive, but you may have to walk a little to get the Outpost. There is a waiver to sign before entering so I suggest you get that done before getting there to save time. The person in the front desk was extremely patient and spoke to us about the best option for pricing since we were a party of 11. They offer discounts for military, seniors, and teachers. If you are a local, you pay less as well. My party included 5 adults and 6 kids. The kids ages ranged from 2-13. I must say they ALL had a great time! The younger ones didn't want to leave. This place has it all! The visuals are amazing! The dinosaurs look real! They are built to look extremely detailed. There is a ton of information regarding the different dinosaurs. There are puzzles, coloring area, sand play area, an area to build, a soft area to play, an area to ride little bicycles, a small eating area, and a store. This place is very interactive and inclusive! It isn't a large place but kids can spend so much time at each station and can learn so much as they are involved and engaged by hands on activities! A team member actually came with a small dinosaur in her hands so kids can pet it. Everyone who works here has the best customer service and it's obvious they care for the guest experience to be one to remember! I have NEVER seen a more friendly kid bathroom than at Dinosaur Outpost. They are also very clean. If you have little children, this is a great place to enjoy learning and do it while having fun!! read more

So much fun for my toddler! He entered this spot not really into dinosaurs and left as a big fan

LOVE this place. I've heard about it from a few friends and I totally get the hype. For little ones, this place is awesome! $24 for locals, $27 for none, and you get to experience everything: "feed" dinosaurs, brush their teeth, "ride" on them, go on a bike stroll, draw and seek artifacts in the sand. My almost 5YO had a blast. Not sure how older kids would respond (my 12 was very bored), but for the right age group - this place is great! read more

This is a perfect place for kids to learn and play. The children will have so much fun.

I want to love this place, but cannot give a better review... This is basically a small uptown jungle with premium prices. The dagger for me is the fact that they charge all adults nearly $30 entry fees. There is ZERO activities that adults can do other than babysitting their own children. Not to mention the gift shop you must go through to exit. A $3 basketball at Walmart is marked up to $25 because it has a dinosaur on it. Parents on a budget stay far far away! read more

Yesterday was our first time at Dinosaur Outpost and it won't be our last. My daughter had an absolute blast. There are so many ways that she was engaged with each exhibit.

I recommend this place to every parent with little ones. read more

Dinosaur Outpost is a new attraction located at Town Square Las Vegas, near Ethel M Chocolates Store. Pricing is $24 for admission. There is a waiver to sign. They do offer military and senior discount. The time machine door opens to a fantastic exhibit of animatronic dinosaurs! There's 35 exhibits and unique activities to experience. This place has so many things to do and really cool! It's a fun, immersive environment where you can learn about different dinosaurs, and the meaning behind their names and traits. You can even interact with them, play, train, and feed them. They have amazing puzzles and games for kids, pedal cart ride, and a brussel sprouts cannon where you shoot brussel sprouts at a brontosaurus! The attraction is family-friendly and there's helpful information next to the exhibit to aid in learning while playing. They also have party packages for birthday, graduation party, corporate and team building. read more

Smells weed in there! And they need to turn up the a/c............................................................................................ And maybe lower the admission fee. read more

This place is cute perfect for a day out with the kiddos. It's about $24 for locals (all day pass so you can leave for lunch and come back). It would be nice to allow up to 2 adults free entry because as a family it was expensive, however everyone can participate & enjoy most areas with the kids. Coolest part was coloring a Dino & bringing it to life! read more

This is for the customer service. The exhibit and attraction were great but this is for my experience alone with front desk. The front desk had such an unpleasant attitude, and it made for a terrible first impression on our family. I didn't appreciate the sarcasm, especially since I'm here with three young children. She made both my husband and I feel uncomfortable. When she asked, "How many?" we pointed out that it's just the five of us. Her response was, "What's 'us'? 'Us' is NOT a number!" It felt so unnecessary and rude. Then she went on to ask "who's in the party?" I listed off our names with myself included by saying "me, chenin" then she went on by saying "who's me? I don't know your name" ok lady, I just repeated my name to you. Again there was no need for that kind of attitude to start our day for my son's birthday. Awful customer service Toby! read more

Extremely overpriced even for locals. They charge for adults because you can "participate" with the kids and the entire time I just felt so bamboozled for paying $72 for myself and two children for a place that wasn't great. I would Not return or recommend. read more

Love love love this place if only we lived closer . If your kiddos love dinosaur , they could literally spend hours in here but everytime it's usually bc I'm tired lol not my kid we end up leaving .

This is horrible. As I was walking towards dinosaur Outpost on Monday, I saw a family walking away from the doors and they said they're closed they close at 4:00PM ish that's ridiculous so early and just people getting off of work and promising my children. The poor excuse the employees give is it's our new fall hours but yet we're in the smack middle of of Summer. This is awful. Shame on the owner for allowing such nonsense. I work late on the weekends so I can't come weekends I came here right after work and had to turn around and go home. My kids were so disappointed. I felt sad for them I had to break my promise. I inquired and the mall is open until 9:00 p.m. At this day and age the people working should be greatful to have a job instead they make other people miserable shame on the owner who allows this nonsense. read more

Cool place~ it's nicely set up and the dinosaurs aren't corny or hokey. You can tell that thought was put into it, as there are a number of activities to do. Only 'problem' is preschool/toddler age children tend to rush through things. It ended up taking about 1-1/2 hrs. Slightly pricey ($153 for 4 adults, 2 kids, 1 toddler under 2) for the experience. Lots of positive things: clean, nice employees, not crowded (weekday), not rushed through any area or activity, the kids could go back and repeat which activity they liked. It was also fun that the intake employee had a full introduction to the experience. When the door opens, it's pretty exciting to see the cool, lifelike dinos! read more
