Our 5-year-old granddaughter asked us to take her to Jurassic Forest. It was to be our Saturday “adventure”. My wife and I had driven by the park the weekend before on our way to Goose Hummock a local golf course so we were excited to go when asked. To our surprise the dinosaurs were life size, animated, and with sounds.... More

On a Friday morning, we decided to go on an adventure and see what the Jurassic Forest was all about. We've heard many good reports about it. From Edmonton, it took about 30 minutes to drive. Our family spent about 2.5 hours at Jurassic Forest and really enjoyed it. It was the perfect place for my dinosaur-obsessed 5 year old.... More

This place is simply not worth the money. We spent about an hour and it cost $40 for a family. The sensors for many of the dinosaurs simply do not work and the animatronics aren't great in most cases. The educational signs are a nice idea, but they're not particularly engaging. It it were half the price, I'd say go... More

it is too expensive of what this site offers to audience. don't go if you don't have kids. For adults or senior are not worth the visit at all. Those sensors not sensitive at all, very hard to activate them. All in all, only for kids. More

Very disappointed! Was not at all what I had expected. It is a waste of time and money. The dinasaurs were way back in the bush and some were very hard to see due to all the brush grown up in front of them. The motion sensors were hard to set off and when they did go off, they were... More

This is a great attraction for families. We have a 5 and 3 year old and they enjoyed it very much. The walking paths are very good for strollers and easy to move around to view the exhibits. This is a good event but get there earl as the park does get very busy with limited parking close. There is... More

Jurassic Forest is a scenic woodland with a walking trail through it, along with many illustrative plaques identifying the local flora and fauna and just when you least expect it, you turn the corner and - BLAM - there's a giant Albertosaurus in the woods roaring at you! The park features about 15 large animated dinosaurs you'll encounter as you... More
