Opened in 1998, Dinosaur Valley is a seasonal attraction featuring a variety of prehistoric creatures portrayed by animatronics, puppets, digital media and life-sized art dolls. A show featuring puppeteered dinosaurs and live birds is held here.

This attraction is frequently updated to feature more creatures and reflect current scientific knowledge.
