PLANT CITY, Fla. – Central Florida’s mainstay dinosaur theme park announced this week that it’s closed one of its oldest attractions.
And in its place is a brand-new experience.
After 14 years, Dinosaur World has done away with a museum at the park, though it’s been replaced by “Jurassic Jungle” — a new indoor dinosaur experience.
“Jurassic Jungle places guests into a thrilling indoor jungle filled with over 15 lifelike animatronic dinosaurs, cinematic lighting, dynamic soundscapes, and story-driven scenes that feel alive at every turn,” a release from the park reads.
Dinosaur World officials told News 6 that two of the dinosaurs featured in Jurassic Jungle represent a couple of the most recently identified species and are the first animatronic recreations ever made, giving guests the opportunity to see dinos that are still new to paleontology.

That said, the entrance to the Jurassic Jungle still features a condensed version of the original museum.
“The attraction combines adventure, education, and hands-on interaction to create a captivating indoor experience for guests of all ages,” the release continues.
According to Dinosaur World, Jurassic Jungle is included with regular park admission.
