The park is a family-run attraction and was founded in 1965, giving patrons over 60 years of fun.

The brilliant Jurassic Golf suits its location, situated along the Jurassic Coast.
Step back in time and immerse yourself in a truly prehistoric experience.
You and your family can compete in the 18-hole course past bubbling volcanoes and roaring dinosaurs.
The course offers animatronic dinosaurs, towering over you, growling and hissing as you try to put the ball.
The level of detail is like no other, from the electric fence and Jurassic Park-like jeep that has crashed through the wall.
Little ones will love the added extras and unique details that bring the adventure to life, and grown-ups will appreciate their excitement (whilst remaining quietly competitive).
