Why Dinosaur Is Hard to Book
Dinosaur Valley State Park is one of Texas's most popular state parks. Reservations open 5 months in advance and popular weekends sell out within minutes. Cancellations happen constantly — people's plans change — but they go fast.
What Makes It Worth the Effort
- ✓Real dinosaur tracks preserved in the Paluxy River riverbed — 113 million years old
- ✓Swimming and wading in the Paluxy River
- ✓Two life-size fiberglass dinosaur models from the 1964 World's Fair
Booking Tips
- Dinosaur tracks are most visible when the river is low — check conditions before your trip
- After heavy rains the tracks may be underwater, but the swimming gets better
Site Types Available
Water Only, Walk-in Tent, Water + Electric
When to Go
March through October, with summer being busiest for families wanting to wade in the river. The best time to see dinosaur tracks is late summer and early fall when the river is lowest.
