Dinosaur World

Dinosaur World is a theme park and museum in Cave City with over 150 life-sized dinosaur models arranged on pathways through forest landscapes near Mammoth Cave National Park. The models show different prehistoric species in realistic poses and settings.

The park started in the late 1990s as an addition to Cave City's tourist attractions and added to Kentucky's range of family destinations. It was built as a family-friendly complement to the region's natural cave attractions.

The place connects visitors to paleontology through fossil digs and hands-on exploration of ancient discoveries. These interactive activities let guests feel like real paleontologists while learning about prehistoric life.

The park offers visitors several dig areas to explore and uncover fossils, which is especially engaging for children. There is ample parking for cars and buses, and the location is easy to reach from Interstate 65.

Visitors can dig up and take home genuine minerals at special mining sites, not just replicas. This hands-on experience lets guests leave with something real from their visit.
