While nobody will ever know for certain what dinosaurs looked, sounded, or behaved like, one incredible place in Arizona has gotten pretty darn close. Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs in Scottsdale features life-size replicas of over a dozen different prehistoric creatures who roamed the earth eons ago, as well as several other attractions guaranteed to captivate the whole family. Check it out:

One of many attractions at OdySea in the Desert, Pangaea Land of the Dinosaurs is an incredible attraction guaranteed to enthrall the whole family.

TripAdvisor/Jackie M. You’ll come face-to-face with the gentle (and not so gentle) giants who roamed the earth millions of years ago, learning more about them than science textbooks could ever compare to.

The life-size replicas of 14 different prehistoric creatures are so realistic, you’ll be half-expecting them to come alive right before your eyes.

Google/Rich Arnold Informative plaques in front of each dinosaur offer interesting tidbits about their diets, behaviors, and era of existence.

Keep the fun going all day long with 10 additional activities including etching, sifting, excavating, glitter tattoos (temporary, of course), a T-Rex obstacle course, and more.

Google/Stuart R There’s plenty to captivate every member of the family - even adults!

Kiddos, in particular, always have a blast at the fossil dig.

Google/Stuart R They may not be real ancient artifacts, but the kids will never know - and who are we to spoil that magic?!

Guided tours and live shows featuring animatronic dinosaurs allow you to immerse yourself in the Mesozoic Era.

Google/Stuart R Knowledgeable staff members will lead you around Pangaea, providing a much more detailed experience than you’d have going solo.

General admission is $15.95 per person, which includes access to all the exhibits, fossil dig pits, magnetic creation wall, hands-on floor activities, and the inflatable obstacle course.

Google/Andy Gallegos All other activities can be purchased for $9.95 each, and if you think Pangaea will be a regular family outing, annual passes cost $31.95 a piece.
