This is a great place to stop when you and the kids might need to get out of the car and stretch a bit. There is no charge to enter the park but theres a gift shop on the premisis so you can help support the park that way

Great views of the city and land surrounding Rapid City. The dinos are nice for the kids to climb on while adults enjoy the view. There are some stairs to climb to get up to it but nothing to hard. It is free so it was a good time. The cool part is that you can see the big dino... More

I have so many pics of kids and smiles. They loved the Dino! They like looking over the city and climbing on the dinosaurs! It's cool the driving in town and to point up the dinosaurs and to see how high up they once were visiting the park.

Great place for kids, and adults at least once. One of the best parts of Dinosaur Park is the drive up Skyline Drive; make sure and do it at night!

My 6 year old and my husband got a real kick out of this place. It is a steep climb. My 6 year old enjoyedclimbing on the dinosaurs and ran tirelessly from Dino to Dino. The park overlooks Rapid City, which is nice. The gift shop is priced nice! They were about half the cost of the gifts at Bear... More

This park was dedicated on May 22, 1936, the dinosaurs were originally grey but sometime in the 50's they decided to paint them green and white. There is nothing better than free family fun, especially if your little ones are into dinosaurs! There are a lot of steep stairs to walk up, but it was worth the climb. There are... More

Lots of steps but well worth the walk. We went at sunset and you could see all of Rapid City. The kids enjoyed the dinosaurs. This is well worth the stop

Just wanted to see what this park was about. It's free but be prepared to walk up a bunch of stairs. The kids will love it and the view was fabulous
