• Fun slides.
• Not enough bathrooms, poor signs and Rude staff.

“The rides were fun and the place was clean. The staff was so rude and unfriendly to children. On one line my 7 yr old had to go to the bathroom. We came back to join my husband and 10 yr old and they wouldn't let me join them on line. "There is no place holding here" Even though there was still a 45 min wait and they were about 5 feet away from me. I asked a young man working at a food kiosk if he sold coffee and his reply was, "Do I look like i have coffee?" When my daughter showed a little hesitation before going down a slide the attendant rolled her eyes, and shook her head, so much so that my daughter saw it and felt very embarrassed. I guess I shouldn't let these things bother my but when you are paying for a family outing it can be very disappointing. We won't be going there again..”

• Nobody poked us with sticks; the museum was not on fire.
• Pretty much everything.

“Great children's museums - and there are a lot of them in the NYC area - have a few things in common: exhibits that are geared to a wide variety of ages, that engage multiple intelligences, that are authentically interactive, and that seem the really want kids to learn something. That's not what the Dinosaur Walk is. Instead, there is about two dozen models of dinos - some whole ones, some heads - with wordy and difficult full-page descriptions next to them, more suited to a good 12 year old reader than to younger kids. There is no effort to put the animals in any sort of logical or chronological order, and certainly no attempt to give kids a sense of zoology or evolution. A couple of dinky computer monitors are the "interactive" part of the exhibit, and a table with crayons and dinosaur picture books are the only nod to toddlers. If you want your kids to explore the world of dinosaurs in a sophisticated, interactive atmosphere, give this place a pass and head to the Museum of Natural History.”

• Very professional well done exhibits and awesome sound effects.
• They could use some more interactive stuff for teens.

“My two kids and I really loved the place. We spent over 2 hours there - we did all of the interactive activities, read about each of the exhibits and watched 2 different dinosaur movies (which were excellent) in the theatres. I learned a lot of things I never knew about dinosaurs. I think Elaine or her kids must have a very short attention span; and yes, the t-rex was 2 stories tall and rises up through an opening in the ceiling so you start on the lower level and continue upstairs to see the rest. I thought that was very clever. Unlike Elaine in Brentwood, I am going to highly recommend dinosaur walk to my kid¿s school for an educational field trip.”

• Great dinosaurs.
• A few more kids activities would be nice.

“It was fun. The kids had a blast (they are nuts for dinosaurs), my wife and I were impressed with the models, and we all learned something new. ”

• The sculptures were amazingly realistic and there were so many different species!
• Not enough dino-stuff in the gift-shop.

“Those Dinosaurs were awesome! I can't believe how realistic dinosaur sculptures have become. The information was excellent, and movies were entertaining. I would buy an annual pass if I lived there! ”
