DINO DIVE!

Join us for our 11th annual Dino Dive to celebrate the New Year!

Take the plunge into the cold clear waters of the Paluxy River and wash away the old year and start the new year with a clean (and cold) slate!

We will have a limited number of medals available so be sure to reserve yours today. The 2027 medal is the REAL DEAL! After braving the cold water of the Blue Hole, you deserve something awesome to prove you did it. Your purchase will also include free entry into the park! As always, your donation is greatly appreciated. It helps us put on events year-round such as the Dino Dive. All profit from the Friends of Dinosaur Valley State Park helps with educational programs, supplies and more! Thank you for your support!

Earn your medal by signing up online with the Park Store!

Note: You do not have to purchase a medal to jump, only if you want to show the world how cool you are!

Meet: Blue Hole

Bring: Swimsuit, shoes that can get wet (not flip-flops), towel, warm change of clothes, and a sense of adventure!

Cost : The medals are $ 29.95 and can be purchased online through the Park Store

Additional Details:

When you drive up to the front gate, the attendant will have a list of those that paid via PayPal. The list will be in alphabetical order by your first name or business name that PayPal uses.

Don't want to purchase a medal? No problem. We do still recommend you purchase a day pass in advance to guarantee your entry to the park. You will also still need to sign-in at the registration booth.

Next, head towards the big Sinclair dinosaur models and park near the park store and Blue Hole.

Head towards the equestrian trail located directly across from the park store. Take that trail down towards the river. You will see signs and the registration table. This is where you will sign a waiver and pick up your medal.

Depending on how many Dino Dive jumpers we have we may stagger groups in heats of 50 in order of arrival. We will provide a warming tent and hot chocolate.

Tips: Bring river shoes, a towel, and change of clothes. Life jackets are recommended for children and those who are not strong swimmers.

Last, have fun! This is one of the most exhilarating events we have at the park, and an incredible way to start 2027!
