Field Station Dinosaur Park in Derby

Sharing is caring!

Field Station Dinosaurs is a one-of-a-kind prehistoric expedition featuring over 40 life-sized, moving, and realistic dinosaurs that are thrilling, educational, and fun!

Young visitors to the Field Station step into the shoes of budding scientists, poised to explore, question, and uncover secrets! Amidst the natural backdrop of native grasses lies a bustling scientific expedition, and every scientist-in-training requires their Credentials. Throughout their journey, children accumulate stamps in their Credentials by engaging in live shows presented by the expedition team, participating in daytime games, and completing trail activities. Once a child amasses 6 stamps, they ascend to the esteemed title of Super Paleontologist.

With careful consideration of our location in the “Birthplace of Modern Paleontology”, our true-to-size dinosaurs include fan favorites – such as the T. rex, Triceratops, or Stegosaurus – and creatures which called the Great Plains home during the time of dinosaurs. Each towering dinosaur was brought to life through brilliant engineering and the creative imagination of numerous artists – both local and abroad.
