Before you continue to TicketBison
TicketBison is a third-party reseller. Prices, seat selection, and refund rules are theirs — confirm the event with the official venue too.
Affiliate link. Dinoflex may earn a small commission when families book through this link. Your price does not change. We never sort results based on what pays us most.
Prices may change. Travel prices change throughout the day. The amount you see here is a snapshot from the partner — the final price at checkout (including taxes, resort fees, and add-ons) may be different.
Verify details with the official provider. Before you pay, confirm dates, total price, age policies, cancellation rules, and accessibility directly with the hotel, venue, or park. Dinoflex curates listings but does not control the partner's checkout.
United States
Affiliate relationships are disclosed under FTC 16 CFR Part 255. Travel purchases are between you and the partner — Dinoflex is not the seller of record.
Get tickets opens TicketBison with a Dino Watch referral tag (dinoflex_tb). The separate Official website button opens Denver Dino Discovery Center official site without referral tagging. Dinoflex does not control checkout, venue pricing, refund rules, or availability updates.

Quick reminders to plan a safe, fun trip when you book outside Dinoflex.
Verify before you pay
Open the official hotel or venue site in a second tab and confirm dates, total price (including taxes and resort fees), and the family cancellation policy.
Share the itinerary with a trusted adult
Send the booking confirmation, hotel address, and emergency contact to another adult before you travel. Keep a printed copy in case of dead batteries.
Double-check age and ride policies
Parks publish minimum heights and age restrictions on the official site. A kid-friendly hotel isn't automatically a kid-friendly attraction.
Be careful on hotel Wi-Fi
Avoid logging into payment apps on public hotel networks. Use the hotel front desk to confirm any unexpected charge instead of clicking emailed links.
Bring backup payment + ID
Carry a second card and a copy of family ID. Some hotels require a card on file for incidentals, even when the booking is fully prepaid.
Plain-language explainers covering affiliate links, verifying a hotel, and what happens when you leave the app.
When you tap a 'Book' or 'Get tickets' button, Dinoflex hands you off to the partner with a tracking tag. If you complete a booking, the partner may pay us a small commission. Your price doesn't go up.
Most surprises at check-in (resort fees, no-crib policies, construction) are documented on the hotel's own site. Cross-check three things:
When you tap a partner link, the partner's website opens in a new tab or the browser app. Dinoflex's parental controls, content filters, and report buttons do not follow you onto the partner's site.
If a partner advertised something different than what they delivered (price, age policy, accessibility), use the report link on the listing. We use these reports to drop or warn-label partners.
