Dinosauria Park is a fantastic destination for families with young children who have an interest in dinosaurs. The park offers a wide range of activities and exhibits that cater to dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages. One of the highlights of the park is the impressive collection of dinosaur models, which are not only incredibly detailed but also move and make sounds as you pass by. This adds an extra layer of excitement and realism to the experience. The park is quite large, providing ample space for families to explore and enjoy themselves for the entire day. Additionally, the ticket prices are affordable, making it accessible to families on different budgets.
In terms of attractions, Dinosauria Park offers a 5D cinema, a science lab where kids can learn and play with interactive exhibits, and a planetarium. These additional features provide educational and entertaining experiences that complement the main dinosaur exhibits.
While the majority of visitors had a great time at Dinosauria Park, some had mixed experiences. Some visitors felt that the quality of the dinosaur models was not up to par, describing them as looking like they were drawn by a toddler with a crayon. However, others found the models to be realistic and engaging.
One area that received mixed reviews was the cafe. While the food was reportedly good, some visitors were disappointed with the limited options for slush drinks. There were only plastic containers available for slushes, which held a small amount and were not ideal for those who wanted a larger serving. On the other hand, disposable cups were available for other beverages.
Overall, Dinosauria Park offers an enjoyable and educational experience for dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages. It is particularly well-suited for families with young children, as there are plenty of activities to keep them entertained throughout the day. The park is easily accessible, with a bus stop located nearby. Visitors should keep in mind that the park is mostly outdoors, so it is recommended to visit during cooler hours or bring appropriate sun protection.

Great park! Everything was really clean and they had a beautiful set-up of dinosaurs. I loved it even when this part is mostly for children. Adults that love dinosaurs could really enjoy this as well!

A visit to the "dinosaur hospital" with a funny and kind guide is also a highlight. You can easily spend several hours there.
Of course, there is also a restaurant and a souvenir shop. The park is well-staffed with helpful guides and kept very clean. There are three levels of tickets available, so if your kids are too young for the VR experience, you can purchase tickets that don't include it.

We went with our 3year old kid on a sunny day. Our review is based on our experiences there. Would list it out as what we liked and what needs definitely further improvements.
Likes:
- Staff was very friendly mostly organized
- The park is moderate s.. Read more »ize and pretty well shaded with planted trees and man made shades
- the dinosaurs replicas are quite to real sizes when they existed, with details of their existence
- for kids having interest in Dinos, have new things to explore and learn like Dino hospital was one of them
- 5D Movie is good experience.
What need improvements:
- during our planetarium show, the video froze 2-3 times and went off completely twice, did not return until someone went to complaint. Video quality was just ok
- At Dino Hospital, the lady spoke while wearing mask and no Mic, with background Dino noise, we hardly understood what she said. Definitely needs to better this.
- Toy train ride was very short.
- Entry Tickets, for Golden tickets they charge same price for a kid 3y and above as adults, this seems not reasonable to the service what they are currently offering. To the point, the tickets for either accompanying adult or kid must have some kind of combo to make it reasonable or charge full prices above 5-6years onwards. An understanding level of 3-4years old is definitely not there to what they are offering there.
- at entry they don't tell you that you can also separately buy tickets for some areas like Science exhibition or even 5D, which you can buy on spot.
Overall we were forced to rate in average category, as the experience never went to wow. We spent 60€ for 2adult and 1 kid and felt not worth/overpriced. Recommended for bigger kids if they offer full prices as adults, for 3-4years kids, especially for Golden tickets, needs to be better.

Dinosauria is a great place to spend a few hours with your young ones! It combines an indoor and outdoor space with plenty of dinosaurs that many of them offer some basic movements and sounds to create a more realistic experience. There is a science .. Read more »exhibition that I would only recommend for parents of older children and the planetarium that is aimed mainly for children of primary school, both the science exhibition and planetarium have an extra charge to go in, you can pay it all as part of a package at the start or later on after you come in the park. At the end of the park there is a nice outdoor play area for young children and a nice coffee and food place with plenty shade.
I would advise against visiting the park during the hot summer hours between 12.00-16.00 as it gets really warm and you might not enjoy the outdoor space so much. You should visit either first thing in the morning when the park opens, or later in the afternoon.
