Dinosaurs make a big splash at this theme park’s popular water attraction
When you’re ready to cool down from visiting the life-sized dinosaurs on the nature trail at The Dinosaur Place at Nature’s Art Village, head on over to the park’s popular Splash Pad, a zero-depth water playground with over 30 dinosaur-themed features from dueling T-Rex and Velociraptor water cannons to a dino rib cage waterfall, dumping buckets and a Pteranodon who flies up from its nest when you happen to step on particular ground sensors. The Splash Pad, the largest in New England, with a separate area for infants and toddlers, has changing rooms and lots of seating where you can relax and watch the kids as they try to manage the Triceratops loop or avoid getting the Stegosaurus who tends to … spit.
