Dinosaur Junction Children's Game, Subscriptions Launched

-Dinosaur Junction has announced the opening for subscriptions of its child-safe, online, interactive prehistoric game, billing the virtual experience as both educational and entertaining. Registration to play is free, but a $5.95 monthly fee for a premium account allows players access to new games, missions, and secrets.

Players can explore the virtual world which includes a river, a desert region, a mountain region, and a town. In the town, there is a virtual museum which contains a number of educational games and information. Players can read about paleontologist digs and play trivia games that test their prehistoric knowledge.

Players can also earn gems by playing both the educational games and the interactive just-for-fun games, which can be used to purchase clothes in Dinosaur Junction’s shop. The site also features a real life store that sells educational books, DVD's, games, toys, and wall art.

Dinosaur Junction is a family owned and operated site which claims child safety and age-appropriateness as its highest priority. All company employees are prescreened, online gaming is monitored, and no personal information is displayed. Parents will be able to monitor and manage their child's accounts with the online Parent's Corner system, with which they can view their child's whereabouts in the game, view their buddy lists, monitor their conversations, and limit their play time daily.
