Most of you know how much my family loves Cedar Point! In fact we love it so much that each year we get season passes for the whole family. Not only are Cedar Point Season Passes a frugal summer activity but since the Cedar Point season lasts through the fall you’ll get almost 6 months of action-packed fun.
While we visit Cedar Point almost weekly we had not checked out the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit until just recently. Dinosaurs Alive is located inside Cedar Point and near the entrance of Camp Snoopy. With more than 50 life-size animatronic dinosaurs there is so much to see.
My three boys were amazed to find dinosaurs hiding among the trees and in areas that looked like their natural habitat. While we have been to a dinosaur exhibit before we have never seen dinosaurs quite like this. These gigantic dinosaurs are life-sized and some soar high above. I felt quite small standing next to a few of them and it made me thankful that they are now extinct. Cedar Point has done an amazing job in creating such a true-to-life exhibit.
Cedar Point’s Dinosaurs Alive is not scary at all and geared towards kids of all ages. With interactive consoles, for you to interact with as well as placecards at each area you’ll not only have a fun time but also learn a little along the way. The animatronic dinosaurs that move as you walk by will really make you feel like you’ve just stepped back in time.
One of my boys favorite areas was the Dino Dig Site which was conveniently located half way through. This large area sand play area for kids has plenty of sand toys for kids to uncover a life-sized dinosaur skeleton. To make this area even more exciting, each day through August 31st a K’NEX classic white connector is buried in this area. If you or your child finds it they will win a K’NEX K’NEXosaurus Rex Building Set. Keep in mind that there is one winner per day.
With an easy to navigate walkway this exhibit is open to strollers and wheelchairs. I found that most of the exhibit was covered with trees so it was truly relaxing to stroll along even though it was a HOT day.
If you are in need of a little assistance or have a dino question there are several tour guides located throughout the exhibit that would love to help you out. They are easy to spot in there tan uniform (see below). My two oldest boys were full of questions and asked quite a few to each guide we encountered. In fact they they even requested a picture with one.
Our family LOVED our time visiting Dinosaurs Alive and plan on making it a yearly stop. With it only being $5 a ticket (with a paid Cedar Point ticket), it’s a frugal summer fun idea too!
Next time you head off to Cedar Point step back in time and check out the prehistoric island adventure called Dinosaurs Alive!

This is an unpaid post. All opinions are my own. A huge thanks to Cedar Point who provided my tickets to Dinosaurs Alive so that I could faciliate my review.
Oh my word!! My kids would love to see this dinosaur land.. they would FLIP! Looks like your boys loved it 🙂
We just took our 2 daughters who love Dinosaurs there. It was great. I loved all the info and they loved the animation and the digging for the bones. This was a must do on our list and when we go back to Cedar Point, it will be on our list to do again. Great addition to the park!
My son loved it when we went last year. Really hoping to get back to it this year. It was well worth the $5. Glad your boys enjoyed it 🙂
Looks like your family had a great time! Im an adult and I would still love to go see the dinasaur land!
That looks like so much fun! I saw the dinosaur exibit at the zoo a few years back but this looks way more interesting!
What a cool idea from Cedar Point! My son LOVES dinosaurs!! Can’t wait to visit.
We were hesitant to go at first but glad we did! The kids loved it, the dinosaurs were all very cool and the dig site sandbox was a treat for my kids!!! They absolutely loved it and mom and dad had a time to relax!!! Thanks for sharing:)
Looks like all of you had a great time! thanks for all the great info!
We took our daughter to the Zoo last month and she loved their dinosaur display. Next week is her birthday we have been saving and planning all month, were going to take her to the Cedar Point Dinosaur display thanks to all the money ive saved this month couponing!!
We have had passes for 3 yrs now and have never done this yet. Thanks for the review we will have to try it out one night!
The dinosaurs look awesome! Hoping to get there this year
Thanks for the info on the dinosaurs Rachel. I jumped on the season passes this year for two of my kids. Next year I will definitely take advantage of it again for the whole family do my little one can experience the dinosaurs
We’ve done the on-line Cedar Point ticket purchase and loved it! Easy to do and unless you are able to get group tickets somewhere, I believe this is the best deal out there for Cedar Point tickets! We had a blast!
Thanks for the review. We are planning a family getaway soon and this sounds perfect!
We are taking the kids this Friday to cedar point. My son is soon excited to visit the Dinosaurs Alive, he hasn’t stopped talking about it for days!
Thanks for sharing this, Rachel. I wasn’t even aware of it 🙂
Thanks for the tip on Cedar Point Rachel. My daughter bought a pass and have used it many times over already. It has more than paid for itself. She is really enjoyed using it and I am looking forward to getting them for all of us next year!
Love it looks like u and boys had a blast! Thanks for the review!!!
Will have to check this out with my son. Since studying dinosaurs at school he has really been into them. Thanks for sharing.
glad you reviewed this. I’ve been curious if it was worth the money. next time adopt four more into your review trip lol!
Wow! I’m really glad you did a review on this
I’m not sure that I would have done the tour.
I know what will be doing – next time we hit the point.
I absolutely love your blog!
I don’t know where it was, but I loved the sand box /dinosaur bones dig site! That was so fun as a kid! Will definitely have to check it out next time to Cedar Point!
We have purchased passes for the past 2 years. I am so glad they brought the Dinos back! My youngest (20 months) LOVED them!
