Dinosaurs in the Valley is an immersive walk-thru experience that lets visitors get up close to over 100 life-like and life-size dinosaurs ranging from babies to some standing over 40 feet tall and spanning over 70 feet long.

The grounds of Pierce College are transformed into the Mesozoic Era, presenting a journey through time with prehistoric dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods.  All the classic dinos are represented, from Stegosaurus to Triceratops and the 40-foot-high Brachiosaurus. The walk-through of the prehistoric times also features the Velociraptor made from the original Stan Winston mold for the first Jurassic Park movie, dinosaurs from over 300 million years ago, and culminates in a 40-foot-long T. rex attacking a 30-foot-long Triceratops.

Children dig for fossils, climb into giant dinosaur eggs, listen to dinosaur story-time, and participate in Dinosaur Dance Parties. 

Premium activities require additional ticket purchase (available onsite). Premium activities include face-painting, bounce-house inflatables, slides, dinosaur scooters, T. rex ATV and Jeep rides, and interactive photo opportunities.

Special Experiences:
There is also a night time experience, Dinosaurs in the Valley - After Dark. Guests walk through a nighttime haze, through a landscape illuminated with lights and lasers, along with the sights and sounds of how dinosaurs lived at night.

Sensory Friendly Sessions take place on Saturdays for select dates at 8am. These sessions offer the experience in a sensory modified setting with sound and light adjustments designed to be less stimulating and overwhelming for those that have sensory sensitivities.
