Not only is Dinosaur World a great place to visit for families on spring break, but its also a great educational experience for children of all ages.  You may be a teacher out there trying to plan a spring field trip for your science class….well, look no further.  Come on out to Glen Rose and not only will you give your students a day of fun and adventure, but;  they can learn about the inhabitants of our earth millions of years ago and the impact these gigantic animals have on the world we live in today.  You can even return to school bragging that you were one of the first groups to visit all the NEW dinosaurs displayed at our park.  That’s right…..while you’ve been stuck indoors all winter, our dinosaur families have been growing by leaps and bounds.

Our Maiasaurus family of dinosaurs has added four new additions to their herd.  They’ve got two little “bundles of joy” babies and two “not so little” teenagers…..how in the world does that momma dinosaur keep up with all those kiddos?  Actually, the word Maiasaurus means “Good Mother Lizard”…..I bet she knows just how to keep those children in line, don’t you?

In addition to the Maiasaurus dinosaurs, the Igunodon family also added two new scrappy little teenagers to its growing family and the Chasmosaurus added four newborns and two juveniles to their ever growing herd as well.

For us here in Glen Rose, spring break is set for March 12 through March 16, 2012.   With so many wonderful family friendly things to see and do here in Glen Rose and throughout the Metroplex, its never too early to start thinking about booking your hotel room before you miss out.  Call us here at the Best Western Dinosaur Valley Inn and Suites and ask us about our spring break specials and packages.

You can take a trip to Dinosaur Valley State Park where you’ll find 113 million year old dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy River Bed.  This is a great place to spend the day with your family.  Be sure and bring a jacket in case of cool weather.

Once you’re through actually looking for the tracks, you can visit Dinosaur World including a museum and dinosaur trail featuring 100 life-size dinosaurs in a 22 acre park setting.  There are fossil digs for the children, picnic area for a family fun lunch and gift shop and more.  Just think, after walking in the tracks of the big animals you can even learn a little about their history, life and eventual extinction.  Your children may actually go back to school after spring break with some fun dinosaur facts to share with their friends.

Of course you can drive through Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, a 9.5 mile scenic wildlife drive to see exotic and endangered animals.  You can visit Fossil Rim to get all the details on admissions and park opening and closing.

So if you are planning your spring break activities, don’t forget to visit us here at the Dinosaur Valley Inn and Suites in Glen Rose, Texas, where there’s something fun for the whole family.

Since we know Glen Rose Gregory (Glen Rose’s version of Punxsutawney Phil)  saw his shadow, I guess this blustery freezing cold winter we’re having is going to stick around a little longer (in case you didn’t get it…..that’s a little sarcasm thrown in for good measure).  Seriously……whether you pick a nice sunny weekend or a chilly cloudy one, the good folks at Bluff Dale Vineyards have it all under control.  The vineyard offers ample heating on the terrace to keep you toasty warm while listening to music or simply tasting some of the many wine choices available for your pleasure.

Coming up Saturday, February 11^th, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., come out to the Vineyards and enjoy not only a little wine tasting but also the old country/rock and roll sound of Joe, Jim and Rick.  You know the ones…..the good ole boys with the last names that I just simply can’t recall right now (probably because I don’t know their last names)….but I do know they have a great sound.

Now that your day trip is winding to a close and you’ve got your loved one by your side, just hop in your car and take the short drive back to your warm cozy room here at the Best Western Dinosaur Valley Inn and Suites Hotels in Glen Rose TX.  We promise you won’t soon forget your getaway to Glen Rose, or the Bluff Dale Vineyards, where even the Dinosaurs would be welcome…..if they could just figure out how in the world to hitch a ride!

Come on down to our Glen Rose TX Hotels and check into the Best Western Dinosaur Valley Inn and Suites.  Step into our beautiful oversized western themed lobby and let our friendly concierge and hotel staffs provide you with a weekend package full of fun for your whole family.

We invite you to spend all weekend either relaxing in your room and just getting away from it all or taking a stroll through historic downtown Glen Rose. Either way, you can’t go wrong.  After all, you have to build up your strength for the long day of Superbowl fun you’re sure to have.

Just thirty minutes north of Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, you’ll hit Cleburne, Texas where you’ll find a place called the Caddo Street Grill.  The Caddo Street Grill offers a sports bar with plenty of HDTVs for your viewing pleasure, NTN Trivia, Texas Hold’em, shuffleboard, and billiards for an entire day full of fun and food.

If you’ve already checked out of your beautiful room at the Best Western Dinosaur Valley Inn and Suites and need a place to stop for the game on your way home, you can always check out Buffalo Wild Wings right off Interstate 35 in Burleson, Texas; just an hour north of Glen Rose pass the Paluxy Brazos River. With all the big screens playing the big game, you’re sure to find the best seat in the house. And don’t forget those wildly talked about Superbowl commercials. You don’t want to be the only one gathered around the water fountain at work on Monday who didn’t catch the commercials.

Oh…and who watches the game without wings anyway. Enjoy…and ummmm…order a batch for me, will ya?

Hasn’t the weather been great around here?  We’ve barely even had to suffer through a cold snap that lasted more than a couple of days this winter. Which begs the question on everyone’s mind…will he or won’t he?   I know you’ve heard of that famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil. You know the story right? Every February 2nd, the townsfolk of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania gather together at Gobbler’s Knob where the famous groundhog emerges from his hole to predict whether there will be six more weeks of winter or whether there will be an early spring. This all depends, of course, on whether he sees his shadow or not. We don’t need Punxsutawney Phil to tell us here in Glen Rose, Texas anything….we have our own little secret.

It’s a little known fact that right here at this hotel near Fossil Rim in Glen Rose, looming high above the ground, stands our very own  prognosticator of all things weather…..drum roll please…..Glen Rose Gregory! A groundhog named Gregory you ask?  No, no, no, who needs a groundhog when you can have a 45 foot high Tyrannosaurus Rex at the Dinosaur Valley State Park? Who better to tell us what the forecast is than one who lives with his head in the clouds?  Don’t worry though, he may look a little mean, but he’s as tame as a kitten and loves all the little kiddos who come and visit.  He’ll even point you in the direction of the nearest dinosaur tracks!!!

There’s no need to tune in to Punxsutawney Phil on the television when you can see Glen Rose Gregory up close and personal.  Call us now and ask us about our Dinosaur World Package, because rain or shine, shadow or no shadow, Glen Rose Gregory will be standing proud to greet you.
