You need to get past the premise that the dinosaurs are intelligent and wholesome. They are taking a magic time-travelling train throughout the mesozoic era. If you can buy into that, the show is actually very educational.
The train time-travels, because the show discusses different dinosaur speceies over 180 million years. They travel to a new stop, meet the locals and have adventures with new dinosaur species. Then at the end of the episode, they have a real palentologist explain what science knows about the species they met that day.
