    In theory, it is so cool that the D.C. area has a dinosaur park. It's outside of Washington, D.C. in Laurel, Maryland. However, I wouldn't recommend it. I did go during the pandemic so it was closed, but looking through the gate, I don't see how you can spend more than a few minutes here. Here's what I observed: 1) Location: It's randomly in the back of an area full of sterile offices. Because of this, there's enough parking and I guess you can't control what development happens around where you find dinosaur bones. 2) Price: It's free! 3) Space: Before you enter the gate, there are restrooms, a picnic table, a tiny parking lot and a few fake dinosaur bones for kids to play on. 4) Tours: The first and third Saturday of the month, they give a talk, but they don't during COVID.

    A view of the entire park. False advertisement compared to the website.

    Drove to Dinosaur Park from NYC to take my niece to a surprise visit. Was extremely disappointed to see it was just an extremely small outdoor park with 4 info stands, one imitation egg and a small imitation dinosaur skeleton. The excavation area was closed and it seemed like it was never open. Even the bathrooms were closed. It was a complete waste of time. I wish it can be worked on to avoid the current false advertisement shown online versus what it actually is.

    I drove all the way from nags head NC to go here. I thought there would be playground for the kids at least. It's inside of an industrial park. Pathetic.

    We came here today - it's the 3rd Saturday of the month, and they're SUPPOSED to be open. But they weren't. A few other families were there, and also disappointed. Would've been nice if they POSTED that they were CLOSED, either on their website, on their phone message or here. Because I checked all 3 in advance. Thanks for a frustrating waste of my afternoon, Anne Arundel County!

    Our family enjoyed the experience. They have two educational stations and you get to explore and fossil findings. On our trip a young girl found an alligator tooth. They don't get to keep but they do get acknowledgement for finding it. If your into dinosaurs or paleontologist, check this place out.

    Whack! I was expecting more. By an industrial building. No playground or nothing. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME NOR YOUR GAS.

    Even if we did, we would've had to hand them over (where they could be displayed in a museum with your name as the finder).
