The parking area by the dinosaur tracks can only accommodate a limited number of vehicles. The number of passes per tour time are limited to the number of parking spaces available per tour.

Question 8

Why do DinoWalk passes sell out so quickly?

Accepted Answer

DinoWalk is a very popular program with limited passes available.  Demand is much greater than the number of passes available for sale, and they often sell out almost immediately.

Will you offer this event again this year?

Accepted Answer

No. The Museum holds the DinoWalk program once per year.

Question 10

Why doesn't the museum add more tour dates and times?

Accepted Answer

DinoWalk takes place on private property. The Museum does not own the DinoWalk site. We are only able to put on this program due to the generosity of the property owner, Luck Stone Quarry.

Accepted Answer

Visitors will have approximately 30 minutes to view the tracks and enjoy on-site activities during their tour time.

Question 12

No. You will be escorted down into the quarry by a car caravan and park approximately 100 yards away from the track site. The tracks are not visible from your car or the parking area.

Question 13

Is DinoWalk accessible to those with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

There is about a 100-yard walk from the parking area to the tracks. The packed gravel path is on a moderate slope, and the ground surface on both the path and the dinosaur track site is uneven. Past visitors have been able to navigate these areas with wheelchairs, crutches, and strollers.

Question 14

Will the event be held if it's raining?

Question 16

I am unable to attend DinoWalk. May I visit the tracks at another time?

Accepted Answer

The dinosaur tracks are located on private property owned by the Luck Stone Quarry. Luck Stone generously allows the museum access to the dinosaur tracks once each year for the DinoWalk program. The Museum is unable to take visitors to the tracks outside of the DinoWalk program.

Question 17

I can no longer attend the tour time I selected. May I switch to a different time?

No. Due to limited parking at the track location, each tour time can only accommodate a limited number of vehicles. If you provide us with enough advance notice, you may be eligible for a refund.

Question 18

I can no longer attend the event. May I give my pass to someone else?

Accepted Answer

Passes are non-transferrable. If you notify us far enough in advance, you may be eligible for a refund.

Question 19

I attempted to purchase a vehicle pass as soon as they were for sale and couldn't. Why not?
