JURASSIC FOREST

Things To Do

Join us for a full day of prehistoric adventure!

From animatronic dinosaur trails to outdoor mini golf and fossil digs — a full day of prehistoric adventure awaits at Jurassic Forest.

Jurassic Forest is built for explorers of every age.

Welcome to Jurassic Forest — Alberta’s outdoor dinosaur park located in Gibbons, just north of Edmonton. Step into a prehistoric world where over 40 life-size animatronic dinosaurs roam an ancient old-growth forest, moving and reacting as you walk the 2km Discovery Trails boardwalk. Beyond the trails, challenge the family to 18 holes of dinosaur mini golf on the Journey to Extinction course, let younger explorers run wild in the Active Learning Park, and fuel up at the Tar Pit Café or Cretaceous Concession. Whether you’re an aspiring palaeontologist or just looking for an unforgettable day out — there’s more around every corner than you expect.

Open rain, shine or smoke from May through October. Jurassic Forest is ready when you are!

Discovery Trails

Step into a world where prehistoric giants roam a stunning old-growth boreal forest. Walk 2 kilometres of boardwalk trail and come face-to-face with over 40 life-size animatronic dinosaurs that move and react as you pass — from gentle herbivores grazing peacefully in the trees to apex predators lurking in the shadows. Take your time, slow down, and let the forest come alive around you. Budding palaeontologists can pick up a scavenger hunt sheet at the entrance and track down every dinosaur on the trail — two levels available for different ages.

  • 2km boardwalk loop through old-growth forest

  • 40+ life-size motion-activated animatronic dinosaurs

  • Mini Explorers (ages 4–7) scavenger hunt

  • Mighty Explorers (ages 8–12) scavenger hunt

  • Stroller friendly and suitable for most mobility levels

  • Included with general admission and season membership
