    Dinoman Steve is such a kind and generous person. He is a retired teacher who spends his days giving goodies and tours to those who come to see his dinosaur collection. Admission is free and donations are welcome but not required even though you are guaranteed to walk away with some goodies. He also decorates for all the different holidays and regularly resets his goodies game.

    Very nice place and a man that is running it loves kids and was very engaging. He was clearly a dinosaur enthusiast. It was unfortunate that the park was closed due to the heat advisory. Otherwise it would have been an even more fun experience.

    It's a nice little photo op. My son is 1 and he liked looking at the different dinosaur statues. Not much to do, this is someone's house after all, but it was a nice drive and visit .

    Really fun front yard area with tons of Dino statues. The garage says open Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday 11:30 to 3:30 pm. There is a bell you can ring. We stopped by outside of the window for tours, but it was still worth it to look at the front yard. My son loved the scorpions. There is also have a sea monster. Really cool! There is free parking across the street.

    So fun and lovely! I've been here 20 years and never heard of this place, so glad I came by! Amazing for dino maniacs. I'm not too into dinosaurs, but still had fun appreciating everything and playing the games. Mr. Steve is awesome and informative, he's put lots of effort into the details. The decorations get upgraded according to the season too. He used to be a teacher, and it definitely shows! This is his home, so please be respectful of the rules. Super fun for kids! Bring some cash if you'd like to donate, not required at all though!

    This was such a nice experience with the family. My son loves dinosaurs, so he was really into it. They "Dinoman" is just such a wonderful person. I'm sure we'll visit again in the future.

    I've lived here 11 years and didn't know about this place. I went with my sister and her family and thought it was a really awesome experience. We gained a little dinosaur knowledge from the tour, guided by the wonderfully jovial host. Very happy to know a place like this exists. Definitely worth visiting, especially if you have grade school age children.

    GREAT place to bring kids that like dinosaur's. Owner puts lots of effort into displays and enjoys having you stop by. Displays change monthly. This will become a stop every time we go to Henderson.

    What a nice guy to do this for the community! Dinoman Steve was so welcoming and generous with his time! The "push for personalized tour" button on the garage is a bit sensitive, but what a great mistake I made! He came right out and spent plenty of time showing my boys around and teaching them lots about dinosaurs. He walked with us, talked about so many things, his love for children and teaching career really shines through. We've driven past this crazy looking house dozens of times over the years, but today we took the time to get out and look closer.

    DINO Steve It is a great idea of a fun place for children to see and play amoung life sized dinosaurs, yet unfortunately, it is very overcrowded and difficult to walk around to see everything. Dinoman Steve advertises to come and play games and get your very own dinosaur well, I'm guessing that's only if you guess the answers to his game's (one of which several visitors were asked to guess the correct number of ducks placed around the "park", which is his front yard. Most of the ducks were hidden, and we weren't allowed to touch them or walk on the rocks in the yard, leaving a most awkward amount of space to venture.) I would have liked the questions and informative games to be relating to the dinosaurs, so that was disappointing. Dino Steve was friendly and gave out snacks (candy, small toys, and bags of chips for visiting and choosing an egg with a number relating to how many snacks one would get). We did appreciate that, and one of our grandson favorites was a Norwal he chose! We also thought it a clever idea to have a saddle on a couple of the large dinosaurs to pretend one was ridding them. Parking is in front of his house, on a busy street, limiting the number of visitors, yet several families visited during the hour we did on Friday, March 31st. It might be best for Dino Steve to revise his website to better reflect what he has to offer and specifically that it is technically not a "park"... it would be even better if he could obtain a grant to purchase the property next to his and transform it into a park or move to a separate area where the dinosaurs could be viewed more and enjoyed. These are just my humble opinions/observations.

    Absolutely fantastic place to take your children. Dinosaur Steve is very knowledgeable about dinosaurs, he has his own Dino fossils. There’s games for the children and adults alike to play to win prizes! This is a great free attraction for Dino fans. Donations welcomed but not required. We had a blast! Thank u Dino Steve!!!

  • 5/5 Valentin B. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved every aspect even with Halloween thrown in

  • 2/5 Ava Newman S. 4 years ago on Google
    Silly display of plastic and metal animals. Crowded only ok if you are in the neighborhood.

  • 1/5 Fultz F. 4 years ago on Google
    Don’t waste your time or gas driving to this place! Drove 45 minutes for no one to open plus the display isn’t how they make it seem to be. 😠

  • 5/5 Adrian C. 4 years ago on Google
    The go to place for Halloween

  • 5/5 Kelley H. 4 years ago on Google
    Our 3 year old grandson loved it here. Dinosaurs, lizards, ants, butterflies and more. While it is not a large area what is there is impressive for kids. Dino man is fun, knowledgeable, and patient. Recommend for parents and kids to check it out.

  • 5/5 Michelle M. 1 year ago on Google
    Geared mainly for children, they take everyone! Small, crowded, wonderful place, FREE, hours are posted, ring the doorbell. Be sure to sanitize before going into the garage! It's wonderful! Fantastic attitudes, wonderful dinosaurs, a few dragons thrown in, and a wonderful sense of humor throughout.

  • 5/5 Cherie B. 2 years ago on Google
    My now adult kids grew up with the "dinosaur man"! Took.my 2 year old grandson and had a great and educational time!

  • 4/5 B S. 1 year ago on Google
    Dinosaur Man is very cool. An amazing time for the kids.

  • 5/5 Gabrielle B. 1 year ago on Google
    First and foremost, Mr Steve is the best! Knowledgeable, outgoing, patient, and funny! Watching him manage the line of kids after school (and in the heat) puts a smile on my face. He doesn't tolerate rule-breakers, but he's also very patient and speaks softly/kindly to get the rules through to excited, bouncy kids. Second, Mr Steve's egg wall game is beyond my homeschool mom mode! It seems straight-forward, but the planning and the details behind the game takes more than just the 5 minutes it takes for it to be played. I applaud his creativity and planning for the simple executed game that makes every player feel like a winner! Thirdly, his dinosaur collection is *hands down* the most fun to look at. I love Benji's wishing egg (grab yourself a gem/pebble from the gem garden - on the driveway side - make a wish, hope the wind doesn't blow, pray you don't hit Benji, and toss the gem/pebble into his egg!), while my daughter loves the ride-on dinos. I'm in awe of Mr Steve and his seasonal decorations. I enjoy listening to kids squeal and laugh when they walk around the Halloween setup. See you next week, Mr Steve, The Dino Man! -Gabi, Aurora, & Olive

  • 5/5 Tina W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place used to live in Henderson and go all the time took our homeschool group there yesterday! It is a quick trip how do you stay right in the driveway outside but dino Dan always takes so much time for each child to feel special and is definitely worth the stop. My kids constantly asked to go back to make a wish and toss a gem into the egg!

  • 5/5 Ryan Y. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great time visiting this house. So many dinosaurs. The owner and his volunteer were very knowledgeable and help see everything.

  • 5/5 Best Property Cleaning S. 7 months ago on Google
    It's a gem of a place, Steve has a perfect personality for teaching the young ones all about dinosaurs. He gives everyone personal attention. He has a few games what are the little ones can win prizes and sometimes he includes the adults as well. It's time well spent in and the kids get a free grab bag full of goodies from snacks to toys and it's all free!!! We highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Theodore M. 9 months ago on Google
    Took my grandson he loved the dinosaurs he had a blast. Great place to take kids and grandkids.

  • 5/5 Chance A. 5 months ago on Google
    Went for Halloween and I was so proud at how much they put into their home to make Halloween amazing for everybody who came. Phenomenal work, amazing energy, kindhearted people and gave me just enough hope again that Halloween is not dying. Thank you so much for the experience and I hope for nothing but the best for everybody involved. This is but one stop you can take to have your faith in humanity restored.

  • 5/5 Sabrina H. 5 months ago on Google
    For those of you who got to experience Steve Springer as a teacher. Your lucky. One of the best. I bring my kids here to visit every time we are in town. Too bad we went a little late on our last trip. But always worth a look.

  • 4/5 Stacy A. 3 years ago on Google
    The owner is amazing with his stories and gifts and walk through garage! Its hard to enjoy the dinosaurs in the fenced in yard tho.

  • 5/5 Dryka G. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a blast over there. Great for kids that like dinosaurs

  • 5/5 Frank - Fox - V. 3 years ago on Google
    A unique gem in the most unlikely of all places. For charity.

  • 5/5 Irma B. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place so nice to see everything ge has there....

  • 5/5 Richard G. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome display! Wish I had the room at my place.

  • 1/5 C. M. 3 years ago on Google
    I wouldnt recommend. Front yard with dinosaurs was blocked off due to Covid. We basically just hung out at the garage decorated with Halloween stuff. Steve, tge host, is ok, but far from being some kind of guide. He could have at least moved the car and allowed more room in the garage for the 20 plus people in our group. That cant be called a "pre-historic park" in a million years.

  • 5/5 Matt β€œHeff” H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place for kids of all ages to learn about dinosaurs! This is better suited to the younger set such as 10 & younger. Ideally 2-5 year olds.. the BEST time of the year to visit is October for DinoMan's Haunted Dino House. He offers candy and toys for every visit. No bathrooms. Street parking can get busy. DinoMan has a HEART OF GOLD for teaching and opening his home to your little ones.

  • 5/5 Robin G. 4 years ago on Google
    My grandson and I had an amazing time. They take a personal interest in getting to know the children and keeping them interested. Great place to see.

  • 5/5 Logan B. 3 years ago on Google
    My kids loved coming here! There was a lot of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals on display.

  • 5/5 Belinda Y. 3 years ago on Google
    The Santa was wearing his mask, table between him & us, as was his helper & Mrs. Claus. There were large Santa Stockings with candy inside. The children had a choice of 3 different candy cane items. The dinosaurs were decorated for the season. It was fun. The boys made their wish as always.
