Who doesn’t love all things dinosaurs? Before I share some fun dinosaur shows for kids and dinosaur movies on Netflix for movie night, I have to ask if you’ve tried making dinosaur fossils with your kids?
No?!
Oh boy, are they in for a treat!
This is such a fun and easy craft especially if you have a bunch of dinosaur toys lying around the house.
(If you don’t, don’t worry. These are a great deal for 72 dinosaurs.)

Dinosaur Shows and Movies, on Netflix, for Kids.
* Netflix updates the dinosaur movies and dinosaur shows streamed ever so often. At times they may even remove one of the titles mentioned below. I do try my best to update this list but there are times when an update is made and the title gets replaced a day or two later. Sincere apologies if this is the case. If this happens, rest assured, Amazon Prime has some great dinosaur shows for kids too.
The Magic School Bus and The Busasaurus
Ms. Frizzle takes the class on a dinosaur dig, courtesy of her old school chum, a paleontologist, and travels 67 million years back in time!
Dinosaur Train
A preschool-aged T-Rex and his adoptive family go for adventures on the Dinosaur Train and learn fascinating new facts about incredible creatures.
Would you believe we still have these InterAction figures from Dinosaur Train and yes, they still work!
Barney and friends
Join this lovable purple dinosaur and his friends (Baby Bop, Riff, DJ and the kids) as he dances his way into your living room with memorable songs and fun lessons. Barney continues to be one of the best dinosaur shows for toddlers and preschoolers. My oldest grew up on Barney and I can sing along to all the songs, in my sleep!!
Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous
Six teens invited to attend a state-of-the-art adventure camp on Isla Nublar must band together to survive when the dinosaurs break out of captivity.
Gigantosaurus
Four prehistoric friends go on an array of adventures while trying to unravel a mystery about a big, fierce creature. Based on Jonny Duddle’s book.
Older kids may enjoy these seasons and yes, this is a calmer version of our good ol’ Jurassic Park.
Dinotrux
Half dinosaur, half construction truck, full-on fun! Watch giant Ty Rux, his little buddy Revvit and the crew come face-to-face with evil D-Structs.
Half dinosaur counts, right?
King: Kong of the Apes
In 2050, an evil scientist is about to unleash an army of robotic dinosaurs. Now it’s up to Kong and friends to fight back and save the day.
Cupcake and Dino- General Services
An enterprising cupcake and his cheerful dinosaur brother take on jobs of all sorts as they work to help friends and strangers in their eccentric city.
While we’re talking about dinosaur movies, have you watched The Good Dinosaur?
What did you think about it?
Check out my thoughts on the movie and grab some free printable resources your child can enjoy.
If you have older kids, I’m sure Jurassic Park remains a big favorite.
Who can forget that scene when they’re in the jeep and they notice the water in the glass shaking. Squeal!
That always gives me shivers!!

Do you have a favorite dinosaur cartoon or movie?
All-time favorite dinosaur movies on Netflix?
My kids are too old for most of those, but I think they would like Age of Dinosaurs! I will have to check it out.
I think my youngest would like Harry and the Bucket of Dinosaurs! Thanks for the review and the great movie tips!
My kids love dinosaurs! We haven’t watched a lot of these but will have to check them out on Netflix. I think Age of Dinosaurs may be one they can get into. They are past the Barney stage.
omggg I used to loveee that show the dinosaurs! “Not the mama”! HA! That baby was hilarious.

Oh wow, you totally reminded me of the Dinosaurs sitcom that hubby and I used to watch together. I almost forgot about that.
My daughter used to love Dinosaurs and still watches it on occasion.
I am more of a history freak, so I would probably watch the Age of Dinosaurs. However, it’s hard to beat Jurassic Park!
This is awesome that there are so many great dinosaur movies for our little ones – I saw Ave of Dinosaurs and I really enjoyed it! Great selection you’ve offered from Netflix 🙂
Dino-tasia sounds like an interesting movie. I will have to check it out next time i’m on Netflix
I remember watching Dinosaurs when i was a kid. I love the baby. My kids enjoyed watching Harry and his bucket full of dinosaurs when they were younger. Netflix has so many great shows to choose from.
I love this list! Since my son saw the Jurassic World movie he’s been asking for more dinosaurs
Not the Mama. My son used to love Dinosaurs. My daughter is a huge Dinosaur train fan.
My boys love the dinosaur shows. I used to watch Dinosaurs T.V show when I was a kid.
What a great roundup of dinosaur shows!! I know my husband and I cannot wait to see Jurassic World too!
I didn’t realize there were so many dinosaur themed programs on Netflix! I know my kids loved The Magic Schoolbus!
Awww, these are some great options for Netflix users. I bet there are going to be some happy dino fans this summer thanks to Netflix!
My grandsons love dinosaurs! They would love to watch Danny and the dinosaur!
The magic school bus is always a good show and i use to love watching the family Dinosaurs. Great picks here for the kiddos.
