How can you not go here?!
A lot of steps, but has a lot of history.
Ok so lower your expectations and don’t tell the kids what it is until they see it. This will make it more magical. When you tell them a dinosaur park playground, they will form their own expectations that won’t be met. Also don’t go out of your way for this unless it’s in your area or your road trip takes you close. We had to navigate the RV up the twisting and turning roads and while it was tight, it was manageable without issue. The park itself needs some upkeep and the dinosaurs show wear as well as the surround pads they are on. There is only one shaded area so keep that in mind. This was a good break to stretch but nothing to go over board about. The views are great though, but they only look over the city leaving he views to fee wasted. I gave it four instead of three because I imagine funding for the upkeep is an issue and it may be out of people’s control. Also saw a brown praying mantis approaching a bright green one.
This was a much anticipated stop on our family vacation to the Rapid City area this year. The views from the hill are beautiful, overlooking Rapid City, Ellsworth AFB, and more! Must see at sunset! The statues were in need of some fresh paint and several signs were damaged and/or unreadable due to weathering. The gift shop was quaint and budget friendly. The staff was very friendly and kind to our family. Overall, not a bad place to view a SD sunset and stretch the legs for a bit.
It was alright. Kids had fun running up the stairs and looking at Dino’s. Would recommend going on a cloudy day with nice breeze as it’s a lot of uphill walking/climbing. We had more fun in the gift shop looking at stuff and eating ice cream. Dino’s could use some repairs and it could use a cleaning.
