Dinosaur Ridge has opened Deep Time Detour, a new visitor experience at the Martin G. Lockley Discovery Center in Morrison that is positioned to attract more travelers moving between Golden, Morrison, Red Rocks and the surrounding west metro area. The project highlights a completed fundraising campaign, partnerships with design and construction firms, and a new attraction that could help strengthen tourism activity and visitor spending in Jefferson County.
Why this is relevant to businesses in Jefferson County:
- The exhibit adds a new tourism draw in Morrison near Red Rocks, creating another reason for visitors to spend time and money in nearby restaurants, shops, hotels and attractions.
- The project highlights collaboration with Colorado partners and funders, showing continued investment in a community asset tied to heritage tourism and education.
- The site says the attraction benefits from a new transit connection serving travelers between Golden, Morrison and Red Rocks, which can improve access and increase foot traffic in the corridor.
