Please Note: We are Switching to a Digital Membership Card
Dinosaur Ridge is reducing its carbon footprint and going green! Our new digital membership cards are compatible with both iPhone (Apple Wallet) and Android (Google Wallet) phones.
If you have a current Membership, you may still show your paper card to redeem benefits until it expires, but you will also receive instructions on how to download a digital “card” to your phone to show when you visit.

Is the Membership price tax deductible?

Do Members need reservations for Bus or Guided Walking tours?
While reservations are not required, they are recommended in the summer because tours do sell out. Call 303-697-3466 between 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. to find out if the date and time you desire has availability.

Effective January 2025, Dinosaur Ridge has simplified its Membership Levels to just three:

Your current level will be honored until it expires, at which time you can sign up at one of the new membership levels.
