Backyard Terrors and Dinosaur Park — Attraction in Tennessee

I had no idea what to expect before checking this place out. I only knew of its existence from having read about the legal issues a while back. Figured I'd take my two year olds and give it a shot. And wow! I might have had more fun than they did! I hate that the county has given you such a hard time, I can tell you've really put your heart and soul into this project. I hope other visitors can see this too and keep the donations coming. We easily spent a couple hours here and although my sons aren't old enough to read the names and information at each dinosaur, they still loved looking at everything and the little play area. Thank you for providing this attraction to our area, especially while only running on donations. My personal favorite was the little popcorn fight right at the very end.

Some notes for any first-time visitors: strollers are completely doable if you're reasonably able-bodied (at least a single, not sure if a side by side could fit on some of the wooden paths) but some places are quite steep or very bumpy from large buried rocks or exposed tree roots. Most of the displays and signs are within reach from the trail so be mindful of letting your children grab and touch so it will continue to be around for everyone to enjoy. There are several little interactive displays and learning activities for younger children, there's more to this place than just statues...

Found this on google maps looking for things to do while visiting family from out of town. I’m from Utah and you don’t find too many free things to do in Utah. This attraction wasn’t what I expected. It really surprised me with so much more. It has so many things to see. My family had a wonderful time seeing all the life size dinosaurs.

Make sure you bring bug spray. You go pretty deep in the woods. Wear pant, long sleeve shirts and shoes to walk around in.

From the time we left. The owner, which is a super nice guy, said he was starting to set up for Halloween. We saw a taste of what he was starting and I would of loved to see it. He is a one man show. He has donated help every once in a while but he does this mostly by himself.

To the owner - My recommendations to you.

Selling hats and apparel there. Wouldn’t mind a truckers hat with your logo on it.

Wheel chair accessibility was limited. My mom had to sit in the car cause we had a hard time pushing her in.

Go see this place. It’s well worth your time. Make sure you set aside at least a hour or two. Donate if you can. This guys does this by himself with the passion to create and bring some joy to peoples lives.

Thank you for all your hard work. It...

I am A HUGE dunno nerd and cave here with little expectations. My friend took me said "some dude just made a bunch of dinosaurs and put them in his backyard." I have never been so pleased to be wrong! This place was awesome! I have SO much respect for the artistry and hard work that went into creating these dinosaurs! The attention to detail is wonderful! I loved that I could identify each specific species. It's not often for places like this to be able to tell the difference between Trex and allosaurus! Velociraptors are the proper size, all dromaeosaurs are feathered, dilophosaurus is the proper height with no frill, etc. I was SO happy with the accuracy! Great care went into thorough research and craftsmanship. I thought the infographics were super informative and offered facts beyond just "size and time period". Each dinosaur offered a unique fact to help remember what makes it cool! I appreciated that it featured not only the "top hits" like Trex and spinosaurus, but also leader known dinos like Amargasaurus and therizinosaurus! I made sure to donate in the gift shop because this was worth the money even though it was free! I loved taking my toddler! This was a great park for...
