The parking lot for the Monument is compacted gravel. The 2 parking spots marked as accessible are next to the museum building. Both spots are wide enough for vehicles with a side lift or ramp for mobility devices. There is limited to no cellphone service, and no running water, at the site.

A concrete pathway leads from the parking area to the museum. Several benches without arms sit near the entrance to the museum. The path also leads to 2 unisex accessible vault toilets, interpretive signs, and an unsheltered picnic table with an extended top to accommodate wheelchair users. Improvements to expand access to nearby picnic areas and outdoor tactile exhibits are planned for fall 2024.

Inside the museum is a staffed desk, interpretive signs, dinosaur bones, and other tactile exhibits, but no restroom. Wide paths and ramps take visitors through the exhibits, some of which might be partially obstructed for visitors in wheelchairs and scooters.

Out the manual-push back door is a 4-foot-wide concrete pathway that leads to an Allosaurus sculpture and 2 quarry buildings, only 1 of which is open to the public. Although both the upper and lower platforms in the quarry building are accessible to visitors using wheelchairs or other mobility devices, they may require assistance with the manual-open door. Interpretive signs in the quarry buildings and next to the sculpture are viewable by mobility device users.

The concrete path near the quarry buildings connects to two accessible 3-foot-wide concrete trails. An unnamed loop trail that is relatively flat and .16 miles long takes visitors past a Stegosaurus sculpture and interpretive signs. Another trail, called the Jurassic Journey Trail, is 1.2 miles long. It has some steeper grades.
