Dinosaur World expansion to double size of attraction

PLANT CITY - Dinosaur World will break ground Thursday on an expansion project to more than double the size of the tourist attraction.

The 12-acre expansion will include a 22,000 square-foot building to house a museum with a prehistoric theme, gift shop and office space. More dinosaur replicas will be added to the 150 already at the attraction at 5145 Harvey Tew Road, just off Interstate 4 at Branch Forbes Road. Some woolly mammoth replicas may also be added.

Other new features will include a playground, more parking and larger picnic areas.
