Footprints—You will see Tyrannosaurus footprints painted on the sidewalks leading to the entrance and throughout the park. They match Tyrannosaurus' natural stride length and will help you maintain social distancing.

Please enter only through this entrance, and exit through the brown turnstile located next to the playgrounds on the eastern end of the park. An alternate exit will be provided for patrons with special needs (e.g. wheelchairs)—please contact a staff member for assistance.
