CAVE CITY, Ky. -- Dinosaur World in Cave City is celebrating home school students by designating the entire month of April as “Home School Month”.  During April, all home school students and their families receive the park’s group rate discount price of $6 per person.

Having fun through education is a top priority at Dinosaur World, as is meeting the needs of the hundreds of home school students visiting Dinosaur World each year. In April, any home school student, home school teacher, and their siblings, can receive the $6 admission.  Park officials request this news release containing this information be presented prior to ticket purchase. Other home school documentation is also welcome.

Educational materials to accompany the field trip can be accessed via the website at www.dinoworld.net and clicking “education and group information” or by contacting the park for a teachers guide.  Information on educational outreach programs is also available.

Dinosaur World is an outdoor dinosaur museum with over 100 life-size dinosaurs. The Indoor Prehistoric Museum houses fossil exhibits. At the Fossil Dig, visitors sift through sand in a paleontological setting in search of authentic fossils to take home. The Movie Cave shows a short educational movie on dinosaurs. Other park attractions include interactive stations, playgrounds, and picnic areas.

Dinosaur World is located approximately one hour from both Louisville and Nashville on Interstate 65, Exit 53.  For more information on Dinosaur World, home school month, or outreach programs, contact the park at 270-773-4345, e-mail dinosaurworld@scrtc.com or visit www.dinoworld.net. Groups of 12 or more home school students may take advantage of the $6 group discount anytime throughout the year with advance reservations.
