Dinosaur World

This much-loved theme park/dinosaur museum is located just outside Tampa in nearby Plant City. The park is home to over 150 life-size dinosaurs, including an animatronic scene featuring a Brachiosaurus, Triceratops and Pterodactyl among others. Ideal for both little dino enthusiasts and "big kids" still fascinated by the prehistoric giants. After coming face-to-teeth with the magnificent model dinosaurs, realistically set amidst lush native vegetation, your kids can become paleontologists and sift through a dig in search of fossils to take home. There is also a mining and excavation experience and geode crackers for the gem hunters among you for an extra cost.
