The downstairs is themed after a dinosaur museum and includes the master bedroom, kitchen, play area, dining room and living room. The master bedroom will make visitors feel as though they have stepped inside the dinosaur museum lobby with signs located throughout.

The spare bedroom located near the front door has a bed that sits inside the mouth of a custom made T-Rex skull. Across the hallway, the home’s large garage is actually a dinosaur’s paradise complete with an air hockey table and children’s slide.

The kitchen and dining room table is large and expansive and features enough space for several people. Keeping with the feel of the museum, creators said they installed interactive games and features to educate guests on some of the dinosaurs featured in the home.

As guests make their way up the staircase, the bare bones approach transforms to skin and quickly takes guests back to the age of the dinosaurs.

The top floor of the vacation home has a number of themed rooms including the sunrise and nesting of the dinosaurs, underwater, stegosaurus room, jungle treehouse, a flying dinosaur nest, dinosaur pasture entertainment room and the extinction room, which is complete with fog above the bed.
