Sunday Savings Series: Jurassic Haunt at Dinosaur World Florida

Update: Dinosaur World was damaged during Hurricane Milton, but it is open again, including Jurassic Haunt. Some parts of the park do remain closed.

Dinosaur World in Plant City, Florida, is a fun place to spend a day outside of the Disney Bubble. It’s perfect for families with dinosaur obsessed kids, or for adults who want to do something different and stress-free. But that’s not what I want to talk about today.

For the first time ever, Dinosaur World is holding an after hours event. Since we’re in October it’s Halloween themed. It’s called Jurassic Haunt, and the price is so low that I’m including it as part of my Sunday Savings Series.

My family and I were hosted for Jurassic Haunt on Saturday, October 5. When I say family, that includes our dog, Yoda. Dinosaur World is always dog friendly, as long as the dog is well behaved and kept on a leash.

Jurassic Haunt is a great event for any age. It is not scary at all, the gravediggers at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party are spookier. That’s one of the things that I enjoyed about Jurassic Haunt. There’s no blood, gore, fake fog (that stuff makes me cough!) or people jumping out at you. You can enjoy your surroundings at your own pace.

There are plenty of skeletons at Jurassic Haunt. Some of the skeletons are being eaten by dinosaurs, while others are in comedic scenes. There are several different zones that you’ll walk through. They are all well lit. We were informed when we arrived that there were some parts of Dinosaur World that were closed off because there was no lighting in those areas.

Another fun part of Jurassic Haunt is the Haunted Train Ride. Again, it’s not scary, but it is cute. We talked to a lot of kids and they had a great time on the train.

There is also extra food for sale, and a bar for the adults. Kids are encouraged to dress in costume, and a few adults did as well.

Now here’s the best part of Jurassic Haunt; the price. It costs only $15 per person! Kids two and under are free. You can purchase tickets here.

The inaugural Jurassic Haunt at Dinosaur World was a lot of fun, and I can see this event growing and becoming even better in future years! The dates are October 11, 12, 18, 19, 25, and 26. It runs from 6:00-9:00 each evening. Dates could sell out, so buy your tickets sooner rather than later!

And in case you’re wondering, Yoda had a fantastic time. He made lots of friends, and he slept the whole way home!
