    Not sure why another review is saying that they are no longer there because they definitely are. Went today with my family and it was a ton of fun with many many dinosaurs to check out!

    Look for the entrance to the Military Aviation Museum.

    Playing tourist in Virginia Beach, Virginia... My friend asked me where I wanted to go during my visit to her city. I looked up a list of things to do in Virginia Beach. As I was reading each item, she'd make a comment such as, " That's on the other side of town" or "There's not much to see there". When I came to Jerrassic Park, she said that she had taken her children there when they were little. She knew that there was free admission and where the free parking was. Located at the entrance of the Military Aviation Museum, Jerrassic Park is a fun place for children - even tall kids like me! Just park for free on the right side of the driveway and walk across the road. You'll find the sign that warns against climbing the metal structures. It was amusing to find the Wooly Mammoth, Saber-toothed predator, and dinosaurs... And entertaining to name each species! They were hidden in the trees, the lakes, the brush, and some were out in the open! I enjoyed this quick outing! Cony and Brown had an amazing adventure, too! LOL!

    It was a fun place to see and my grandson that is 5 loved it. The dinosaurs are big and done very well. Make sure to look around good or you might miss some that are behind bushes or up in the trees.

    We stopped by the park on our day out. It was ok, but, every time we are with our granddaughter and daughter it is worth it. PRO: Dinosaurs in Virginia Beach Free (park and parking) CON: Not well kept

    What a cute little spot! This is the perfect place for anyone who loves dinosaurs... like my son. We did not tell our son that we were going to stop by we were on our way back from Cape Charles. As we drove down the road we pulled in to the parking lot area and saw the dinosaurs we went and turned around in the museums parking lot and parked towards the entrance. The moment my son saw the dinosaurs he was beyond excited. So excited that he forgot to look to before crossing the street lol! The details are amazing. We stayed for about 15-20min walking around. No one else was there.... could have been the rain. But, it was a great visit. I highly recommend bringing kiddos here to check them out if you are board one day and do not feel Iike taking them to a playground. Big plus.... IT'S FREE!

    Jerrassic Park in Virginia Beach is separate yet connected to the Military Aviation Museum. It's located on Princess Anne Road right at the entrance to the Museum. Parking is on the right side under the tree's as you enter. Jerrassic Park is also free to the public unlike the rest of the Military Aviation Museum. What you'll find in the park is beautifully designed and painted metal sculpted dinosaurs. The park has been around for a while and the plants have started to grow up and around some of the dinosaurs, and this actually makes it better as they look like they're coming out of the bushes. You'll find everything from Brontosaurus's to Saber-toothed Tigers and a Wooly Mammoth. Big nasty alpha predator's like Spinosaurus and a mama Tyrannosaurus Rex are also on hand. Watch out for her baby's they're hungry and waiting for a meal. If you look closely you may also see a pack of Velociraptor's nearby and don't forget to look up into the trees there might be a Pterodactyl looking back at you. All in all this is a great place for kids and families alike to see dinosaurs and the wonderful work that was done to recreate these creatures from a bygone era. Pack a lunch and eat at one of the picnic tables available. Their aren't many but at least they're in the shade.

    We absolutely loved visiting this park! It might be small but it's so well maintained and all of us enjoyed every bit of it. The park itself is very easy to find and definitely worth the stop. It contains all sorts of dinosaur statues that was fun for adults, kids, and fur kids alike. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend to take a quick walk to see it.

    Free and open 24/7. Just kinda in the middle of no where but near Virginia Beach! The art and quality of the dinosaur sculptures are worth the drive tho! It's near the aviation museum as well so you can knock two things off your list! Perfect for random fun pictures! Parked right next to it and luckily it was empty and spent like 15 min snapping cool photos! Definitely one of a kind experience and if you appreciate dinosaurs you'll love it!

    My grandkids loved this exhibit. We packed a lunch and had a nice picnic. They were not afraid at all.

This park is great for adults, kids and dogs. The views are of a crystal clear lake NO swimming and NO boating. Plenty of trees. Great for bird watching. They have a nice size children's playground. Covered picnic tables throughout the park. a few fitness stations on the 1 1/2 mile hike. VERY easy loop hike. Starts out with a cement trail and turns into fine gravel trail around the lake. Lots of people running, kids playing and dogs walking. My favorite thing I found a bench dedicated to their sweet dog Savanna. And they offer doggy poop bags. Encouraging a nice clean park. Nice easy walk and if you time it right there are a lot of great places in that area to eat and a nice shopping area

    Nice little natural trail around a lake. It is about 1.5 miles for one rotation around the lake…read more There is paved parking lot for the park and there a relative decent sized playground for kids to play at. Only portapotty available for bathroom facilities which I guess is normal for the smaller parks in the area. The path is clean and nice but there are bicycles and other wheeled vehicles sharing the walking path. There were birds using the lake but I didn't see any sign of any fish or life in the lake so I am not sure if there are fish or anything else in the lake. I went to the right to start my walk and I am not sure if that was the wrong way but it seemed everyone was going the other way or it was just that I didn't catch up to anyone ahead of me so it looked like I was the only one walking my way. I took my walk on a supposed warm day but the weather changed and it was a little cold so I had to walk a little quicker than expected. There were people jogging the path, walking their dogs, and just sitting by the lake. There are lots of wooden pierlike structures that get you close to the water but like I said before, no signs of fish as far as I could see.

    This park is located right off of the Boardwalk. There is metered street parking and a few…read morecommercial lots within walking distance that you can park at. The meters cost about $2/ hour and the lots vary in price. There is a restroom facility right across the boardwalk from it, which is a plus. This play park is the epitome of accesible parks. It is titled the "Park for Everybody". The amazing park/play area is 15,000 square feet and features wheelchair accessible entrances. It was built in honor of Josh Thompson, an avid beach lover, who lost his battle with ALS. Josh's family wanted to go to the beach, but he stayed behind because of the difficulty of getting his wheelchair to the beach, across the sand and down to the surf. The park is very nice and has a huge jungle gym with a couple of slides, a sculptural of a dolphins, a surfboard, and a wave that children can play on, raised sand tables for sandcastle building at an accessible height, a sensory board for autistic children, Sway Fun glider, and a pebble walk. What I find really cool is that they have fully accessible playground -beach wheelchairs available at no charge, on a first come, first served basis (only during season though). You will also find some cement pads here, with post marking the spots, that are covered with a little sand, making playing in the sand more accessible. Just outside of the park is a nice statue of a man and young boy holding surf boards. The sculpture is on top of a granite base that has the names of donors and the inspiration behind the park inscribed on it. Definitely worth a look. This first of its kind park is a very nice addition to VIrginia Beach's Boardwalk. It is accessible and fun for all kids to play on. They do suggest that it is best for kids aged 5 to 12. I love everything about this park. There should be more of these around.

    Grommet Island Park is a well-frequented, moderate to large playground located at the VB Oceanfront…read moreat the start of the Boardwalk. It has a playground, raised sand trays, and sculptures kids can play on and take photo opps with. It is also an accessible park. The park is very clean overall. -- The Playground -- The playground area with soft foam flooring to minimize injuries (under the sand that got blown over it) is best for younger elementary school aged children. With close supervision it's also good for younger children (note that there are small gaps in the openings along the playground system). The equipment is in mostly good condition with small areas of wear. There are a variety of slides and ways to climb up and access the slides, along with monkey bars and climbing activities. There are also raised, connected walkways connecting the system of slides and a lookout point. The playground is in partial sun with some sections fully shaded by canopies (pictured). -- Benches & Pavilions -- There is one built in table with benches by the front of the playground. There are several benches along the perimeter of the playground. -- Walking Areas -- This is less of a park and more of a large playground situated on a beach. -- Sporting Equipment -- There are no other equipment options other than the playground. -- Amenities -- There are no toilet amenities at the playground, but there are restrooms with plumbing located very close by: 2nd Street Restrooms, which has year-round operation and is managed by the City. -- Parking -- There is a municipal parking lot close by--2nd Street Parking Lot--where any visitors can park for a fee. The next closest lot is Rudee Loop Parking Lot (also a municipal parking lot with a fee). Both are located on Atlantic Ave. There is limited meter parking, too. Visitors to the area staying at the Oceanfront could also walk there. -- Things to Note -- During peak seasonal times, it's usually pretty busy with kids. There is no fence or physical boundary between the park and the water, but it is situated well enough away from the water that it didn't pose an immediate safety concern. -- Takeaways -- This is an large, accessible playground that is a nice option for my toddler when we visit the Boardwalk, and I can see it appealing to families visiting the beach who have kids with varying interests. The main attraction is its playground. If you are at the Boardwalk, it's worth a visit for children. It might not be worth it to you to go out of your way if you don't intend to visit the ocean or Boardwalk, too, or if you aren't interested in its accessibility features. Simply because paying for parking at the Oceanfront and sand in the kids shoes' could be a few minor drawbacks.

    I am impressed by this nearby city park. I had no idea this was even here until we moved into…read moreShadowlawn a few months ago and it's a pleasant surprise. It's much larger than I expected and I love the dog park, large green area with the small three children's play areas, paved bike/running trails and the entire area. It's very big and there are several walking/hiking trails inside the main portion of the park spanning several miles and meandering through a wooded area that follows the marsh. It's well-kept and has multiple entrances from the Shadowlawn neighborhoods. -The entrance from VA Ave has a very small parking lot and then street parking. -The entrance from Indian Rd. has a much larger parking lot with plenty of space and opens to the large, green field with 3 separate play areas for toddlers with climbing sculptures in the shape of frogs and caterpillars. Really cute and has a pavilion and circular paved trail around it. -The entrance from Marshview Dr. has a small lot and this is where the dog park area is as well. Two tennis courts here across the street which are part of a small playground/tennis complex called Salt Marsh Park. Last weekend I finally went for a hike inside and covered about 1/3rd of the likable/walkable space. It's gorgeous! It's also neat bc they have it set up for trail bike riding and it's very well marked and laid-out. I came upon some beautiful areas for sitting and enjoying the view. If you haven't ventured here yet you should give it a try - actually pretty impressive in size and option for a neighborhood co-located park.

The playground area was my favorite. There were no kids so we explored the playground. Huge size. It was awesome. So their playgrounds are spread out. They have one at the area where you park your vehicle. You walk or ride your bike a ways turn right into another area . Nice size grass area to run and play and then 3 sections of little whimsical play areas. Frog area, Caterpillar area, and turtle area. Really nice paved walk ways with these beautiful little bridges. Dog park, People and Pet friendly. Wheel chair and stroller friendly. Great for bikes. They even have a station for bike repair and to pump up your tires. EXCELLENT for us we love riding our bikes. This is such a lovely area we were just riding our bikes around and found it. We love it. It has a lot to offer and it is very well kept
