    Dinosaur Valley State Park - Dinos that once walked here a little snack store behind it

    This park truly feels like once in a lifetime experience! I…read moredon't hike often, however, felt this was a worthwhile trip. We decided to head there in the morning. It was about an hour drive from Fort Worth, and it's eight dollars per person to enter the park. Your access gives you the ability to visit all national parks for the period in which you bought your ticket so 24 hours total. There's various trials you can do, we ultimately ended up doing two, and the moderate one is quite difficult due to the terrain. However, the overlook was a straightforward trail with a beautiful view at the end. I would say the times a lot to each trail are accurate, you wanna ensure you get there early because it does get hot in mind you it is Texas in the summertime. We packed lots of snacks, and had our water. We also took some time to dip our feet in and look at the Dino tracks up close. There's so many ways you can spend your day here, however, some quick exercise, and beautiful views definitely doesn't go wrong! You also get the opportunity to learn lots, and we took the time to take all the knowledge we could by reading through the exhibit in the welcome center. (:

    Walking near the footsteps of creatures so many millions of years old is unbelievably fun- and our…read moregroup went there in hot summer. Not easy to climb but the value is unmatched. There was also the cutest little gift shop with the best merchandise. Highly recommended if one is able to meet the mild physical demands (one of us stayed up in the park on top instead of going into the valley where the dinosaur footprints are preserved.

    This review is for hiking- there are two short hiking trails. I'd you are coming to hike, don't…read more You will get through them in 20 minutes. Luckily for us we did have kids who were complaining of being tired by the midway point of it, so it is perfect for families. But if you are an avid hiker who hikes for miles and miles, this is not the spot. We did go to the beach to look around, but didn't get in as it is winter right now and was at 30-50 degree weather. It is a beautiful place, very clean and well kept. If you are coming in with family, this is perfect, but if you want to hike, this is not your spot.

As soon as I drove into the front entrance, I stopped in the office in order to print the day pass I purchased online yesterday. All three ladies were extremely friendly and helpful. They showed me the key highlights of the park on the map. Then I shopped their merchandise in the park store. The trails were very well maintained and laid out. Each path was clearly visible so as not to get lost or off the marked walkway. I even spent some time in one of the day use areas to read this month's issue of Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine. What a way to finish enjoying such a wonderful park. Please check out!

    Don't go not worth it!…read more The road to get there is very unleveled it's super bumpy. If you do go make sure it's in a suv/truck. July 11, was the day we floated. They do provide air pumps. The walk into the river is very narrow and rocky so go in slow and easy. The cooler tube doesn't have a bottom. River was low. Walked a lot. Also the hill up to the pick up area is a walk and steep hill very rocky and narrow. Unsafe for sure. Once we got to the top we waited 15 minutes to get picked up. I called the office and asked why are we having to wait that long and she hung up on me! Not worth it. Drive to south Texas for a better experience!!

    First off the girl at the front gate lied to us. She told us there were a couple areas that it was…read morea little shallow but if we just kept to the outside, we would be fine. A couple areas, my ass! We were running up on a sandbar more than once and one time it was really bad. My friend that was with me, could not stand up in the shallow water, and he just kept falling. We finally got him back in the tube in that area and got to another area where I could see for a long way that it was very shallow and I knew there was going to be issues. We tried and tried to get him to stand up and he just couldn't. This went on for quite a while. I finally went for my phone to call for help and a gentleman came down from the bank and asked if we needed help. He was kind enough to help my friend get to the exit on the river. I have never been so frustrated and so tired in all of my life. On top of trying to help my friend, I was struggling because I have cancer. I will never float down this river again using this company. He supposed 4 1/2 hour float down the river turned into almost 7 hours! Do not use this company.
