Awesome little park!! Had no idea it was there. No mention of it on their website or in the museum. The only way you know itās there is you happen to see one of the dinosaurs back behind a tree. The dinosaurs themselves are awesome. Whoever did them was a fantastic artist. They are all made out of metal and the detail and the paint is amazing. From what I can see in reviews itās been there a few years, so Iām sure thereās some fading of the paint. It was probably even more awesome when it was first done. With the landscaping and vegetation all around the dinosaurs as you walk through it, you literally felt like you were at the actual Jurassic Park. Amazing opportunity for photos. There is a small parking area when you first turn into the aviation museum driveway. It is free. Plan on about 15 to 30 minutes to see it. There are approximately 10 to 12 total dinosaurs there. Apparently The artist was a former pilot who did this for his grandchildren who loved Jurassic Park. Itās really a shame the museum doesnāt promote it more being that itās on their property and it was made by a pilot. It really is cool. Kids will absolutely love it. This was actually one of the best things I saw in all of Virginia Beach. If you want to Google it, the name of the park is...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreJerrassic Park in Virginia Beach is separate yet connected to the Military Aviation Museum. It's located on Princess Anne Road right at the entrance to the Museum. Parking is on the right side under the tree's as you enter. Jerrassic Park is also free to the public unlike the rest of the Military Aviation Museum.
What you'll find in the park is beautifully designed and painted metal sculpted dinosaurs. The park has been around for a while and the plants have started to grow up and around some of the dinosaurs, and this actually makes it better as they look like they're coming out of the bushes.
You'll find everything from Brontosaurus's to Saber-toothed Tigers and a Wooly Mammoth. Big nasty alpha predator's like Spinosaurus and a mama Tyrannosaurus Rex are also on hand. Watch out for her baby's they're hungry and waiting for a meal. If you look closely you may also see a pack of Velociraptor's nearby and don't forget to look up into the trees there might be a Pterodactyl looking back at you.
All in all this is a great place for kids and families alike to see dinosaurs and the wonderful work that was done to recreate these creatures from a bygone era. Pack a lunch and eat at one of the picnic tables available. Their aren't many but at least they're...

We know he loves dinosaurs so as we passed Jerrassic Park, I took notice and we did the most immediate (and most safe) U-Turn and stopped there. Once there, my son approached with an underwhelming stroll, IMO. So I began to have him spout out the names of the dinosaurs. Which didn't liven him up at all...
What did, was an interesting looking caterpillar we came across as we slowly strolled out (to make the trip last longer yanno?) Overall, I think that if we drove by there again he may ask us to stop but I doubt he'd ask us to go back on a...
