Dinosaurs Spotted Near Austin!! 🦖 The Dinosaur Park - located in Cedar Creek, Texas, a short 30 minutes from Austin.

These are life size dinosaur statues, although they aren’t animatronics and it’s not Jurassic park, they are fun for kids to see, it was a more affordable stop and it makes for some really cool photo ops!

You could make an entire day out of by packing lunch or I’d suggest grabbing lunch in Bastrop which is only 15 minutes away!
