The highlight of the expansion is a new 22,000 square foot Prehistoric Museum housing an animatronics display. The over 150 life size dinosaurs were impressive in the past. And now with the new “live” exhibit scene, visitors can expect even more. Five animatronic dinosaurs have moved into Dinosaur World including Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, Pterodactyl and of course T-Rex.
 
In addition to the new indoor Prehistoric Museum, the expansion covers even more prehistoric ground. Two new dinosaur themed playgrounds were added. A 5,000 square foot gift shop offering everything from stuffed dinosaurs to a huge selection of dinosaur books and educational items is now open. The Fossil Dig was a perennial favorite to guests because they could sift through sand in search of authentic fossils to take home. Now there is a new, larger fossil dig area with a paleontological feel about it. And of course new dinosaurs have moved in along the over one mile walk through the lush Florida landscape.
 
If you’ve visited in the past, you’ll notice the difference as soon as you approach. You’ll have to drive through huge new arches stacked with dinosaurs transporting you into a prehistoric journey into the past. Through these arches is an impressive new entry and plenty of new parking to accommodate the growing number of visitors and buses for educational groups.
 
Dinosaur World has remained open during the expansion with the new gift shop, playground and fossil dig already open to guests. The Prehistoric Museum housing the animatronics display has never been seen before. Other exhibits include the Dinosaur Walk, Fossil Dig, Boneyard, Prehistoric Museum with animatronics dinosaurs, Movie Cave, Carnivore Boardwalk, Deinonychus Island, playground, picnic area, gift shop and now, plenty of new dinosaurs

Pictured above are the newest additions to the Maiasaurus family at Dinosaur World in Glen Rose, Texas. Maiasaurus  actually means “Good Mother Lizard”, so it is fitting that the newest additions go to this family that has now grown by two babies and two juveniles.

The Dinosaur Walk at the outdoor dinosaur museum is about a mile long, so there is plenty of room for new additions to the already 100 plus dinosaurs along the path.

In addition to the Maiasaurus  dinosaurs, the Igunodon family also added two new juveniles to the family. And, the Chasmosaurus also now has two juveniles and four babies.

One of the things that makes the Dinosaur World experience so unique is the grouping of dinosaurs in herds the way they would have been found in nature. Because of this, most of the new Texas dinosaurs come in the form of baby dinosaurs or juveniles.  

 The Texas location is the newest of the three Dinosaur Worlds. And growth continues to be seen in all. In addition to the Texas additions, the Plant City Florida Dinosaur World is getting a major expansion with twelve new acres. Kentucky will soon follow with major “face-lifts” on existing dinosaurs.
 
New fossils also part of addition
New authentic fossils have also been added to the indoor prehistoric museum at Dinosaur World  including; a Mosasaurus neck vertebra, Mammoth Rib bone, Mammoth Tooth and a piece of a Mammoth Tusk.
