Valleyfair  became the latest Cedar Fair theme park to open a Dinosaurs Alive! attraction in summer 2013. Like other versions of the attraction, it carries an extra charge on top of the standard price of admission to the park.

Dinosaurs Alive! is very similar to the version at Kings Island.  However, it is on a smaller scale, spanning 5 acres and featuring over 30 life-size animatronic dinosaurs produced by Canadian firm Dinosaurs Unearthed.

Several of the models are controllable by guests via interactive consoles, which show how scientists believe they moved their arms, tail, mouth and eyes. The largest model on show is the Ruyangosaurus, which reaches a height of almost 40 feet and a length of 72 feet.

Each of the dinosaurs in the exhibit is covered in skin-like materials and features realistic movements. They are split across 7 themed areas, each depicting a specific scene.
