Spring Break Goes Prehistoric at Stone Mountain Park’s Dino Fest!

From life-size dinosaurs and light-up parades to aerial drone shows, this family-friendly festival is a must-see adventure during Spring Break and beyond!
Dinosaurs Take Over the Park
The caretakers at Dinosaur Explore believe their dinos need social time—so don’t be startled if you spot footprints on the ground, hear rustling in the bushes, or look up to see high-flying dinos overhead. That’s right—the dinosaurs are loose and roaming through the Crossroads area, ready to interact with guests and make memories!
All-New Lighted Dinosaur Parade
When the sun goes down, the Crossroads lights up with the brand-new Lighted Parade! Watch as glowing dinosaur-themed floats parade through the park, accompanied by music, dancers, and prehistoric performers. It's a magical mix of fun and fantasy that will leave everyone smiling.
