Dinosaur World

History

Dinosaur World is the name of 3 outdoor dinosaur museums (Plant City, Florida - Cave City, Kentucky - Glen Rose, Texas). Dinosaur World is the brainchild of Swedish businessman Christer Svensson, who has been in the entertainment business for over 35 years. Svensson and his family moved to the United States in the earily 1990's. Attracted to central Florida, where he and his wife and children had vacationed many times, Svensson purchased a former alligator farm in Plant City, Florida. This would become the new home for his dinosaurs. With a great deal of information, planning and hard work, the Svensson family created the current park to entertain and inform visitors Less than 5 years later, Dinosaur World opened in Cave City, Kentucky in 2003. The Glen Rose Texas location opened in 2008. Motorists in I-4 in Florida, I-65 in Kentucky and entering Dinosaur Valley State Park in Texas will see a dinosaurs near the exits inviting them to travel into the ancient past.
