- Make your ticket a flex ticket for an extra $7. This option is great for families that might have other plans the day of their visit — or for families that are chronically late (no shame!)
- Download the Dinos Alive app before you go. The app will help little archaeologists identify dinos and learn more about their favorite dinosaurs.
