Dinosaur Ridge has earned the Candid Seal of Transparency and is described as the paleontologist-rated #1 Dinosaur Tracksite in the nation.

Erin LaCount and Amanda Rea co-lead multiple camp sessions as Camp Directors.

Parent and visitor testimonials describe Dinosaur Ridge as a place to see dinosaur fossils and tracks on display, including real dinosaur footprints and impressions in the rocks, fossils still in the rock, and an outdoor museum and visitor center. Reviews mention guided tours, shuttle or bus tours, short but clear explanations, and a 1.5 mile walk where visitors can see footprints and fossils in their natural environment. Testimonials also note a gift shop with minerals, gems, rocks, t-shirts, molds of real raptor claws, and other items. Several reviewers describe the site as a place they recommend for kids and for anyone interested in geology and dinosaurs.
