Great place for wee people. Dino walk has many dino models with motion sensor dino noises enough to give you a jump in places. Great outside play area with great dino dig. Family quiz was a great way to keep the wee one interested. Soft play area was brilliant with plenty of room to run about. Cafe was good and reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and helpful. If in doubt of where to go ask the staff in the garden centre as the dino park is through the back of it

Was only in the kids play area with kids and a wander around the garden shop. Awesome place for gardeners I would say. Kids loved it. Friendly staff

Visited Hetland Garden Centre and Dino Park with my extended family of young adults. We all ate at the garden centre's cafe which had a well catered menu with options for vegans and intolerances. There was also a good selection of delectable cakes and desserts. A little on the expensive side but the food and service were all very good. The Dino Park was reasonably priced at £6 for adults and cheaper for children. The staff member was extremely friendly and helpful and the Park itself was well laid out with plenty to see and explore.

Great place to bring younger ones reasonable price to get in. Good/fair weather needed to get the best out of the actual Dino bit. You need to walk through the garden centre to get to the Dino park. Staff are really helpful in both the garden centre and Dino park. Tropical feel to the walk around part, and lots of animatronic Dino's to look at with a genuine Jurassic park film theme running through it. Soft play is big enough with a toddler/baby area and wasn't too busy when we were there To the owners, congrats you've done a unique job and hope you feel it's been worth it. Personally loved the foliage, mine and the bridge.

People say this family-friendly attraction offers a unique experience with lifelike animatronic dinosaurs, a "Dino Mine" for fossil digging, and a "Dino Den" for learning. They also highlight the brilliant indoor soft play area, which is spacious and well-maintained, and the cafe with reasonably priced food.
