If you’re like us and can’t get enough dinosaurs, then we’ve got a great list for you! After scouring a number of streaming services, we found nine places where you can watch dinosaur movies and shows.

This list is in alphabetical order (mostly—it didn’t feel right listing The Lost World: Jurassic Park after Jurassic Park III), and is up to date in terms of where you can stream shows as of early 2025. Please note, some of the links in this post are sponsored and/or affiliate links. However, we have used all these streaming services and recommend them all.

Apple TV+

The streaming service Apple TV+ has some gorgeous dinosaur shows and kaiju shows (which we count as related to dinosaur movies).

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

After the battle between Godzilla and the Titans, two siblings figure out their connection to the secret organization Monarch. The story line is intriguing and the special effects are pretty.

Prehistoric Planet

A nature documentary about dinosaurs, with incredibly realistic and scientifically accurate depictions of the animals. We liked the series so much we devoted several episodes breaking down the second season.

Disney+

Disney+ has a number of dinosaur movies and shows for all ages. Some of them were maybe less popular than others, and some of them have really stood the test of time.

Dinosaur

Aladar the Iguanodon and his family of lemurs must go on a journey to the Nesting Ground. If you’re a fan of Land Before Time, then this is a good movie to watch.

Dinosaurs

A sitcom about your average family of dinosaurs. All the characters are dinosaurs, and it takes place on Pangea. Plus, “not the Mama!”

Gigantosaurus

A cute kids show about four dinosaur friends that go on adventures. We binged this with our nieces one afternoon and it did not disappoint.

The Good Dinosaur

In an alternate history where non-avian dinosaurs never went extinct, we follow Arlo the Apatosaurus who must find his way home. So many pretty moments in this film.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

All the Ice Age crew end up in an underground world full of dinosaurs. Love the Momma T. rex!

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

Lunella Lafayette is a 13-year-old genius with a 10 ton T. rex for a friend. What’s not to enjoy?

Hulu

Hulu is perfect if you want to get your Jurassic Park fix. There’s also bundled deals so you can get both Disney+ and Hulu.

The Flintstones

A Hanna-Barbera sitcom from the 1960s. Not at all accurate, but they do make Brontosaurus ribs look delicious.

Jurassic Park

A theme park full of cloned dinosaurs. What could possibly go wrong in this epic dinosaur horror film?

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Picking up where Jurassic Park left off, we see what happens when a few dinosaurs get loose in San Diego.

Jurassic Park III

A group of people must navigate the island of dinosaurs while on a rescue mission. There’s a fun board game that follows the plot of this movie too (Jurassic Park III: Island Survival Game).

Kanopy

Kanopy is a free streaming service, thanks to support from public libraries and universities (you do need a library card for it to work). In addition to this list, there are a lot more dinosaur shows on the platform, as well as readings/videos of kids books about dinosaurs.

Alaskan Dinosaurs

Paleontologists look at dinosaurs that lived in the cold, dark Arctic Circle. Lots of great research in this documentary.

Day the Dinosaurs Died

A detailed look at how the asteroid hitting Earth destroyed the dinosaurs. So many terrible things happened in the minutes, hours, and months after the impact.

Planet Dinosaur

A mini series about the relationship between predators and prey. Lots of interesting details on the dinosaurs.

Max

If you’re looking for lots of Godzilla movies (not just the one we included in this list) as well as one of the best animated dinosaur shows, Max is for you.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

The most recent Godzilla movie, where Kong looks for his home and clashes with Godzilla.

Primal

A caveman and a dinosaur bond and help each other survive in a violent world. Not at all accurate, but so suspenseful and pretty.

Netflix

Netflix has a wide array of dinosaur shows, mostly animated, as well as some nostalgic dinosaur-related movies.

Dinosaur King

A well reviewed show about the son of a paleontologist who finds a way to bring dinosaurs to life.

The Flintstones

The 1994 live action version of The Flintstones. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop and Industrial Light & Magic did the special effects for the dinosaurs.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous

Six teenagers must work together to survive on Isla Nublar after the dinosaurs break loose. Very easy to binge.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory

The story of the six teenagers continues, except they’re grown up and the stakes are higher. Also easy to binge.

Life On Our Planet

A docuseries with beautiful special effects, with several episodes featuring dinosaurs. We reviewed the show in episode 470 of our podcast.

Paramount+

Paramount+ might not be the first place you look for dinosaur movies and shows, but they do have some interesting ones!

Ark: The Animated Series

A prequel to the video game Ark: Survivor Evolved. A paleontologist finds herself on a mysterious island with dinosaurs and other extinct animals. People who like the game rated this series well.

LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit

It’s a prequel to Jurassic World and it’s LEGO! The show stars Claire Dearing, Owen Grady, and of course dinosaurs.

Peacock

Peacock has a wide variety of dinosaur movies and shows.

The Adventures of Jurassic Pet

A teenager helps a friendly dinosaur escape from a mad scientist. We haven’t had a chance to watch this one yet, but the dinosaur looks cute.

The Age of Dinosaurs

A company creates dinosaurs, but then surprise the dinosaurs escape and wreak havoc on Los Angeles. The ratings aren’t the best but could be good if you’re looking for some action and adventure.

Jurassic City

Poor Los Angeles. This time a breach in a top secret lab unleashes raptors on the city. Also not the best reviews but might be enjoyable if you’re looking for more sci-fi action.

Jurassic World: Dominion

The final film in the Jurassic World franchise. Now, dinosaurs are living alongside humans. We highly recommend watching the prologue, set in the Cretaceous.

Land of the Lost

A paleontologist, his assistant, and a survivalist get sucked into a world full of dinosaurs. It’s adventure, comedy, and sci-fi.

Primeval

Temporal anomolies and dinosaurs (and other prehistoric animals) start popping up around England. A fun show to binge.

Prime Video

Last in the alphabet, but not least, are the many dinosaur movies and shows you can find on Prime Video. Some of them are meant for kids, some of them are classics, and some of them skew on the ridiculous side. We’ll let you decide which is which.

Cowboys Vs. Dinosaurs

After a mine explosion, dinosaurs appear and attack a small western town. Not the best reviews, but not the worst either.

Dino Dana

A young dinosaur enthusiast named Dana can imagine dinosaurs to real life. Sounds cool! There’s a movie and TV show.

The Dino King

Speckles the Tarbosaurus is on a journey to reunite with his son Junior. We’ll be adding this one to our watch list.

Dinosaur Hunters

Another show that’s intrigued us. Discovering dinosaur bones starts a rivalry between Gideon Mantell and another scientist. We’re guessing Richard Owen.
