For an 8 year old.
So far we have
- a meal at T. rex.
- Raptor encounter at universal (anything else to do at universal? )
- hopefully if Disney release after hour tickets for our dates a ride on dinosaur at animal kingdom.

He will love the Jurassic Park Discovery Center in Islands of Adventure.

Also The Boneyard play area in Animal Kingdom would be good for him!

Dinosaur World if you want to travel a little further out? (It's between Orlando and Tampa... we have never been but have driven past and it looks cool from the road!)

Build a dino in the shop attached to T-rex as well

We went to universal about 4 years ago before the dinosaur obsession started and can�t remember seeing the discovery center - what is it?is there much to do in it for kids?

Its a large center with a QS restaurant and large dinosaur skeleton- looks like the center in the film. Downstairs there are lots of interactive games/info - they have a nursery and at times you can see a dinosaur hatch and they pick someone to name him- you can then check the dinosaurs progress on other visits
