DinoLand U.S.A.

Fodor's Review:

Just as it sounds, this is the place to come in contact with re-created prehistoric creatures, including the fear-inspiring carnotaurus and the gentle iguanodon. The landscaping includes live plants that have evolved over the last 65 million years. In collaboration with Chicago's Field Museum, Disney has added a complete, full-scale skeleton cast of Dino-Sue—also known as "Sue"—the 65-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex discovered near the Black Hills of South Dakota. After admiring "Sue," you can go on the thrilling Dinosaur ride, amble along the Cretaceous Trail, play in the Boneyard, or take in the Finding Nemo-The Musical show at the Theater in the Wild. Kids will want to hitch a dino-ride on the TriceraTop Spin and on the Primeval Whirl family coaster, which has spinning "time machines." There's no need to dig for souvenirs at Chester and Hester's Dinosaur Treasures gift shop—all you need is your wallet.
