Connecticut Dinosaur Trail
“Roar Through Connecticut!”

The state invented a new trail in 2012 as part of the “Still Revolutionary” travel campaign. Then the state, apparently, forgot about it. Luckily for all of us, I have not only created this page, but I have made the state’s trail infinitely better. And when the state’s “Dino Trail” website expires, this one will still exist.

The state’s trail is made up of four large and relatively expensive places. (For a family of four to go to all four would cost over $200.) The places I’ve added are almost all free.

Anyway, The CT Dino Trail says:

If your family loves dinosaurs, an amazing adventure awaits at our biggest and best dinosaur-themed attractions! The Connecticut Dinosaur Trail brings them all together so you can plan your own dino-sized days of fun and not miss a single saurus!

Cute. But here’s something annoying: when the trail was created, the CT Science Center had a big dinosaur exhibit. Today? They don’t. But they’re still on the trail because the state doesn’t keep up with this stuff. But don’t worry, as a CTMQ reader you know that this is the best place for updated listings… or everything in Connecticut.

    There is a tiny dinosaur park in Middlefield CT – on Powder Hill Rd.
    Just a small fenced in area covered with dino tracks – a small plaque is there.
    Almost no one knows it exists but it’s kinda cool.
    If you want more info – let me know.
