Ogden Dinosaur Park

We checked off another item on our Bucket List this last week. We headed to the Ogden Dinosaur Park and had so much fun. Palmer is the only one of the boys that has been to the Dinosaur Park and he was about 9 months old when I took him along with my little brothers (I need to get those pictures scanned into my computer).
The boys were so interested in everything they saw and excited to see what each dinosaur was called.

There is this scene of dinosaurs fighting and they are really moving and roaring. The boys were a little anxious about it and worried that it was real. It really was pretty neat.
There really are so many cool things about them getting older. They were a lot more interested in learning about the things that they were seeing, verses just climbing all over everything (although they did that too.)
Around the Dinosaur Park are all sorts of dinosaurs. Some of them come out of nowhere and actually scared the boys a few times. There area also loud speakers all over the park that have dinosaur sounds coming from them and it sort sounds like they are coming through the trees to get you!

These scenes are so cute. I have some of the same pictures of Palmer when he was little.
"World's Most Dangerous Creatures." :)
The climbing I was telling you about...there was a lot of it. I do however love places that expect kids to climb. Makes my life a lot easier.
This was a huge slide.
The boys spent a long time at the dinosaur dig. They used brushes and shoves to uncover bones.
It is amazing how long kids can sweep dirt with a paint brush. I need to figure out how to make one of these to have at home. :)


Even McKay had a great time sweeping dirt with a paint brush. All in all the boys gave this place two thumbs up.

That's a great place for a family activity!! We've been twice since we moved here from Salt Lake and I have to say, it never gets boring. :)

You are "hitting up" all of the best places in Ogden all ready -- and you haven't even lived here for that long! How do you do it??? :)

P.S> It appears you skipped out on the Imax movie. I wished we would have -- it's so ridiculously ridiculous. :) The story is blah, the acting is blah and the action is blah. Half the people in the room left before it was even over. :)

Lynette, I didn't know there was an IMAX movie. I guess I am glad we didn't stick around for it :) I would love any other ideas of fun things to do in Davis County!
