“Two story waterfall and volcano, liquor license could be available, many possible uses, campground, day care, restaurant,” says the listing.
Volcano + liquor license = my kind of daycare, hell yeah! Where do I enroll?

I want it! It’s only $2773. a month for 30 yrs!!!
How can you afford not to buy it?
It’s the poor man’s Jurassic Park!
It looks like Chair has taken a liking to that dinosaur (or whatever that creature is) in the corner
In a way, Chair’s visiting Chair’s ancestors…
Two-story volcano…rumble…..three-story volcano….rumble….four-story volcano….
Hey I live on top of a volcano, and here drinking is a national sport *grin*. Bermuda is actually composed of the shells of gazillions of sea creatures who died and left their remains on top of an extinct volcano (drank themselves to death no doubt).
As for the price… 15 acres for $500,000!!?? that would get you a second rate condo here if you were lucky. Or .0001 acre of land. And only one or two dinos. Very cool property there
So you’re the one who bought it!
“Oohh, Aahh, that’s how all of this starts, but then later there’s the running and screaming”
So, I take it you’re not going to endorse the park?
Violence and technology … not good bedfellows!
I’m fairly alarmed.
Would the zoning laws allow you to live there? Because, if so, I’m all over it!
Apparently marked down from $548,000 in April, it was an amusement park from 1963-1999.

How rude of them to tease us with the waterfall and volcano, and then not post pictures of them!
I hope it won’t fall prey to creationists, such as what happened to the dinosaur sculptures out in Cabazon, CA. Extraordinarily strange to go to the gift shop there in the belly of the brontosaurus, which the maker and previous owner had decorated with bas relief busts of Neanderthal and Java Man and their estimated dates of existence, and find all this stuff being peddled defiantly contradicting those dates.
That really is most unfortunate. Creationists really make religion look bad. There’s really nothing wrong with faith, but it becomes dangerous when you can’t draw the line between “faithful believer” and “takes everything literally.”
OK, that was WAY too many reallies. I wish I had read that before posting. So sorry!
It’s true.People don’t seem to realized secret option c:both. Evolution is real, and God made it that way. The end.
Anyway, I love this, and would love to live here. A volcano? Rad!
I keep squinting at the pictures and wondering if I’ve been there. I grew up in Michigan, and we went to a “dinosaur park”…but this one looks a lot classier, so I’m thinking we might have gone to the cheap version.
Oh. Are you in therapy now?
I’ve been to this place, when it was named something like Prehistoric Park, DinoLand–great roadside attraction!
Omg, we spent every summer just a couple miles from there (The Irish Hills of Michigan!)!! I can’t tell you how many times we took the tram tour and fired our ‘rifles’ at the scary scary dinosaurs! We knew the place was in trouble when the head fell off the brontosaurus, and they fixed it by propping a palm tree under it’s chin… Ahh, the memories…
If they can have camp for kids, can we get a camp for adults? I wanna go!!!
They’re called nightclubs.
I’m thinking the 1,200 sq. ft. “Community Shower House” might be an attraction…
We took the kids here when they were little and oddly enough, just bought a house in the area less rhan a month ago. I had no idea it was for sell. It was very near Mystery Hill. Wonder if they’re going out of business, too.
Thanks for the great memories! I had totally forgotten that, when I was a kid, my family used to hit these sites on our way from Chicago to Detroit to visit relatives every summer.
Ooo, let’s play Name The Daycare!
Li’l Raptors? The Happy Foodchain? Big Friends and Little Dinners?
While most of these pictures just make me kinda sad, one of them really makes me want waffles.
I live right near this place! there’s a giant long neck right out front. It’s actually pretty awesome looking.
I grew up very close to this place. It’s not been operating for a while… all the good stuff out there like Mystery Hill, the Twin Towers putt putt, and Stagecoach Stop was always fun to see. US-12 is still a primary route ’round those parts. Go Irish Hills!!
this reminds me, there’s a dinosaur theme park like 20 minutes from my house and i haven’t been since i was a little kid. time to visit dinosaur world!
I’m so sad. We used to go there every summer when I was a kid. I wish I could buy it.
I grew up going to Irish Hills too and sad to see it up for sale.
I always remember the funny smelling rubber dinosaur I had from there.
Hmmm that has potential for FUNNNNN!!!!
Ha…I used to ge there every summer when I was little.
