Anyone been to Dinosaur World in Plant City?

This looks kind of cheesy but has anyone been there? Good for a quick adventure on an off-site day trip?
Thanks!

We made a pit stop at Dinosaur World about 4? years ago. We were flying in/out of Tampa and staying in Orlando. Our favorite place to stop for lunch is at this exit - the Branch Ranch. I highly recommend this place. Very yummy. Not a cheap lunch, but not expensive. You get very good homecooked food with homemade pickles on the table. Yum!

Anyways, Dinosaur World was a perfect stop for our young son (?5 at the time), especially if your child likes dinosaurs. Lots of replicas with facts about each one. They also have a dig area and a place you can dig for treasures that you can take (they say dinosaur teeth - sure looks like shark teeth to me!). It was a good way to kill a few hours. I don't know if I would make a special trip but it was okay since it was on our way. Looks like they have lots of boy's bday parties there. My son liked it.

Thanks. Was wondering if concrete dinosaurs would be worth a drive or not. Restaurant sounds yummy!

Tampa area Entertainment Books have 2-for-1 coupons (I'd give you mine, but DS wants to go). You might want to check out the Orlando one too as it may have one. Not to mention that if you plan to eat offsite at all, rent a car, etc. the Entertainment Book could definately save you some money.
