🎉 Happy Birthday to the unbelievably talented Haley! 🎉

Since 2021, Haley has been the creative heartbeat of Dino Refuge, bringing her incredible artistry and boundless talent to every corner of our world. As our lead artist, she has shaped so much of what you see—from breathtaking concept art to stunning designs and the intricate painting of our creatures and puppets. Her vision brings our dinosaurs and fantasy creatures to life in ways we never imagined!

But Haley doesn’t just create the world of World Crafters—she lives it. As our longest-running performer, she has graced the stage in almost every single show, giving her all to every character, every story, and every audience. Her dedication, passion, and artistry make her truly irreplaceable.

Haley, you are the heart, the hands, and the spirit behind so much of what we do. We are endlessly grateful for you and beyond proud of everything you bring to our team. Wishing you the happiest birthday—one as magical and vibrant as the worlds you help us create! ❤️🦖🎨

🎉 Happy Hatching Day to the incredible Lorna! 🎉

Since 2022, Lorna has been a crucial part of Dino Refuge, bringing her talent, heart, and dedication to everything she touches. From the moment she stepped into the role of Rien – our spy-turned-intern with boundless enthusiasm – she’s captivated audiences at every live stage performance and now continues to shine at Dino Fest.

But Lorna isn’t just a phenomenal performer – she’s a leader. She has stepped up to guide our casting and management with grace, skill, and a level of care that makes everyone around her better. Her passion for theatre is unmatched, and we are endlessly proud of all she’s accomplished both on and off the stage.

Lorna, you are irreplaceable – not just because of your talent, but because of the warmth and light you bring to our team. We are so lucky to have you in our Dino Refuge family. Wishing you the happiest birthday filled with love and joy! ❤️

🚨HURRICANE BTS POST🚨
The following might not be suitable for children under 8 years old.

🌀 This year we came face to face with two hurricanes back to back; with us finishing one installation while Hellene hit, and Milton hitting us head on in between weeks one and two at Brown & Brown farms here in central Florida.

🌀 There isn’t a day that we as the owners are not completely enamored with the dedication of this team. Only three of us were on site to prep for Milton. We lost a tent, but that was extent of the damage - which is more than we could ever ask for.

🌀 We were lucky enough to only have two Dino’s blow over, both that were facing the same direction. They both had two very small boo boos, easily fixable. We were able to pick them up Thursday morning without an entire build team 🥳

🩵 A huge thank you to for all their help and understanding during the emergency breakdown of what we could take down in between the two weekends.

🩵 And Haley and Drake ( ) who didn’t have a single day off between set up/build > Performing weekend 1 > emergency breakdown/hurricane Prep > Hurricane rebuild > performing weekend 2 > stage breakdown. You see these two in a lot of photos and videos, but don’t probably know that they are a VITAL part of our organization. They not only perform, but know how to fix animatronics, paint and help design dinosaurs and sets, help with development, art direction and work on building and breaking down installations.

🌀 Running a small business isn’t easy, and this small business has a lot of VERY big, 6k pound overhead 🤣 So we would be nothing without our team.

🌀 But I guess the only way to test how good your dinosaurs and animatronics are is run them through a hurricane test simulator… or just live through a hurricane 🦖 100 mph winds and the T. rex still stands tall!
