The Jurassic Range at Brookline Park is a one-of-a-kind, guided dinosaur archery experience for youth and beginner archers. Archers complete a 3D archery course walking through the woods where they will stop at 5 shooting lanes equipped with dinosaur targets. Instructors play the role of park ranger while providing direction on range safety and the steps of shooting.
Groups of 2-5 archers will be introduced to their guide and allowed into the range at each distinct entrance time. It is important to arrive at the check-in table promptly at your entrance time.
Your guide will provide a short demonstration on range safety and the steps of shooting before taking the group to the shooting lanes. The group will stop at each shooting lane where each archer in the group will have the opportunity to shoot 3 arrows. The guide will provide assistance and instruction while shooting based on each archer’s knowledge and experience. Archers have the option to track their progress throughout the course on the provided score card. The course takes approximately 45-90 minutes to complete.
The Jurassic Range is featured in Brookline Park, located at 2696 E Sawyer Road in Republic. Limited parking is available at the park. Carpooling is recommended when possible. Once at Brookline Park, archers should report to the check-in table near the bridge under the Jurassic Quest sign.
The course is designed for youth and beginner archers age 8-14 years. Individuals 17 and older may register to participate when accompanying a participating child. Children age 4-7 years may register to participate with parent/guardian assistance.
The fee is $15 per archer. To register online and reserve your entrance time, visit recdesk.republicparks.com and select ‘Sign In’ or ‘Create Account’.
