- Nicola BMuttenz, Switzerland225 contributionsGreat for children, ok for adultsFor young children the park is big fun as it offers not only moving replicas of dinosaurs but also a "5D Cinema", a big playground with a toy train (one ride is included in the ticket price) and a restaurant (in higher ticket categories there are also further things included). As an adult it was ok (for instance, the quality of the 5D Cinema is compared to similar venues in other countries rather low). Free parking is available next to the park.Visited October 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 13, 2023
- Gemma B11 contributionsLovely place for kidsGreat for kids - our taxi driver actually laughed at us when we asked to be dropped off here. We had a lovely time tho and the 5D cinema was fun. We visited on the last day of the season so not everything was available. The models moved and had sound effects and there were lots of areas for small children to play.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 2, 2023
- Vikki W17 contributionsNice day out for families with young childrenWe went to the dino park 4 adults and our 4year old granddaughter on her birthday. We paid for the gold package at 24£ but to be honest we'd have been happy to pay the lowest package, walk around the dinosaurs and just let our granddaughter play in the park at the end whilst we ate lunch. If your on a budget, I'd advise just that. The VR was a roller coaster that repeated 3 times. Our granddaughter loved it but made myself and husband feel a bit sick halfway through the second trip. Nothing to shout about!. The science part, not everything worked and the supervisor in the area found it hilarious when my daughter was furiously trying to make a tornado ,only to tell her its broken🤣. 🙈. Which amused me aswel tbf😅. The movie .. Well 3 out of the 4 adults fell asleep😅 was very relaxing, like a hypnotherapy session.. boring 🤣. We ate pizza for lunch it was a really good size and value for money at 10£ and the adults can kick back and let the kids play.. if the kids are under the age of 8 maybe 9 ,this park is a nice day out. Don't bother if u have older kids. And the train ride at the end is for toddlers certainly under 6.Thank you for your review. With the golden ticket, as you experienced, you can enter the dinosaur exhibition (museum and park area), the dinosaur hospital, the science exhibition, the planetarium, the virtual reality, as also the children's playground, the cafeteria and the gift shop. You were informed at the reception of the park that you have a variety of movies to watch at the planetarium, but of course when you visit with children, we suggest the most suitable movie for them. The same applies for the Virtual Reality movies. The interactive games at the science exhibition are taken care of as soon as something doesn't work as it should. Of course, some things need more time than others. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but as you saw, we try to make the best of every situation. As we try to improve our services, we would like to take your specific criticism under serious consideration.

- janinap83 contributionsBrilliant park and great value for money.This park is a must for all dinosaur lovers. We had a lovely time with a very excited 2 year old who loved every minute. There was a dinosaur hospital which is open every half hour and a man explaining to the children ( and dinosaur loving adults) all about the dinosaurs. Very informative.Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us such a good review. We are happy that you were satisfied with our service. We hope to see you again at Dinosauria Park!

- Liisi L2 contributionsCool experienceWe went there with our 11month old. He seemed to like it. Dinosaurs were fun and not scary. The animals weren’t the most realistic, but that’s to expect from children’s park. The park was just the right size to let our boy walk it almost by himself. At the end there was a playground which had a lot of slides but no swings so no playground for us. But that’s okey. We bought a wind up dinosaur from the gift shop, but when we opened it, it was leaking weird dark liquid so we had to throw it away.. fortunately it was only 3€ Overall nice park.Thank you for the review. We try our best to preserve the dinosaurs as good as possible. As for the wind up dinosaur from the gift shop, you could have brought it back, so we could exchange it. We are really sorry for the inconvenience, but as you understand, not everything can be controlled. We hope to see you again some time!!

- Zoe CLondon, United Kingdom74 contributionsFun for the kidsWe went to the dinosaur park with our two year old and she loved it, it was bigger than expected and there were lot of different dinosaurs to see. She spent the whole time excitedly running around from one dinosaur to the next and especially loved the baby dinosaurs in the dinosaur hospital. She has been talking about it ever since. We only got the basic ticket so we didn’t see the 3D cinema or the other add ons, but it was enough for our daughter. The cafe was pretty good too and decently priced. I would recommend it to anyone with dinosaur mad kids.Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us such a good review. We are happy that you were satisfied with our facilities and that you had a great time in our park. We hope to see you again at Dinosauria Park!

- Sergei OKohtla, Estonia5 contributionsFamily tripNice park to see with kids, but too expensive. We went through whole park for 20 minutes and it cost us around 45 euros. But anyway nice to see all this big dino models, which are moving and making some noises.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 8, 2024
- Joshua M14 contributionsGreat few hours outStaff are great a very friendly. They try really hard for the children. The dinosaur hospital was a great 10 minute tour and really interactive. Most of the exhibit is outside and the dinosaurs move and make noises when you pass. Our 5 year old loved it. The cafe was well priced unlike places in England you didn't feel ripped off. The planetarium and 5d cinema are also worth the extra cost. The science exhibit is good interactive fun for the kids and air conditioned. Overall a great couple of hours out.Visited June 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 11, 2024
- wadokiaWolverhampton, United Kingdom575 contributionsExcellent few hours for Children.On entry you have the option to purchase 4 entry level tickets. The basic one is just the dino park. The next ones are the 5D experience then the next 20 mins space cinema. The last one is the 5D experience and the space cinema. We opted for the 5D experience which is a rollercoaster ride then Jurassic Park good fun indeed. There are plenty of Dinosaurs to look at some move and make noises. Loads of info, the dino hospital is good as well. A cafe and of course the gift shop by the exit. Overall well worth the money we paid. One level up from the basic entry price.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 4, 2024
- Ladykel2004Ashford, United Kingdom124 contributionsFabulous day, a must see for Dino fans.We had seen this place advertised before we traveled to Crete and wanted to give it a go as our son is dinosaur mad. It was a great day out, lots to see and do. The added extras in the science section made it even better. He had a great day. Only reservation was that the VR headsets weren’t working but we wasn’t informed before we purchased our tickets.Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten August 19, 2024

Expensive and all additional activities you have to pay extra. We booked the 5D cinema, but was not worth the 4 euros per person. The 3 out of 5 points actually only because of the dinosaur figure, they were nicely made and moved. But the worst was the free "train ride" for children, for which each child got a ticket. It was rather bad Kirmis experience and the hammer, it only drove once every 30 minutes. Speak to the children who could not ride with them had to wait again in scalding heat for 30 min. not to miss the next ride. Can't do it!

Compared to Brasov's Dino Park, had a better experience. All dinosaurs had movement sensors and started to move while someone was in proximity. My kid loved discovering dinosaurs skeletons in the sandbox.
A very good surprise was the science museum which all the family loved. It has an extra fee of 2 euros, but the experiments there were awesome. Also the guide there spoke a clear and good English and showed us around the experiments. We loved the tornado maker, the ferro-magnetic fluid, sandplay with projection, weighting yourself on different planets, earthquake simulator and a ton more. We left the place with tons of nice memories

We paid €39 for bronze tickets (2 adults, 1 4year old, and our 2 year old was free) This gave access to the park and 5D cinema.
Lovely park with a mixture of model and animatronic dinosaurs. Some shade and some indoor bits. 5D cinema was ace..really threw you around though! Our two loved the included little train ride near the end. Play area was hot but good too.
A fun 2-3 hours to be had.

I went with grandkids aged 6 and 7 whilst on holiday. The parks fees were reasonable but the management seemed poor despite some staff actually smiling. The direction and organisation too appeared weak. Details on which package included which facilities were minimal. The train ride was a joke so didn’t bother offering to the children. It was a small funfair type ride. I should have gone to the aquarium next door instead. The dino models were good and was some consolation.

We had a great time with a 4 year old and a teenager. Very impressive dino figures set in great scenery, lots of information, even a dino- hospital! Definitely a family experience we would like to have again.

After wondering why the hell we need to take the kids to the dinosaur park on a beach holiday I was pleasantly surprised!! It wasn’t cheap as my wife opted for the gold tickets which included everything. But to be honest it was worth it, the kids loved it and it was pretty quiet which makes a change to most theme parks. It has an old school feel about it which reminded me of my younger days, more simplistic stuff in the park but it works. My kids are 6, 8 and 11 and they all enjoyed it and it made a nice change to do something a bit different. There was a science building with activities you can do, a 3d cinema and a virtual reality ride. We also did the planetarium which was interesting. There’s a small cafe which is reasonably priced with a good choice of food and drink. What also struck me was the friendliness of the staff and the knowledge of dinosaurs when the kids asked questions. All in all a good day out! Thank you 👍

Being picky I would say the Dinosaurs were a little plasticky but there again you can't have real ones ! The site was well laid out and there was a generous number of models , and they moved !!! The talk in "Dinosaur hospital" was very interesting and the guide most informative.Grandchildren are 7 and 9 and they enjoyed the experience , though smaller children might find the entrance through a dark "cave" and a bridge taking you back in time a little scary. There is a small adventure playground also and a cafe. A very pleasant way to spend a morning.

The park is more suitable for younger children. The explanations at the Dino Hospital are entirely in English. The park itself is beautifully landscaped, the dinosaurs all move and make various sounds. The playground is suitable up to about 7/8 years & the "train" goes a few laps in circles. For our 5 year old a successful trip that took about 2 hours. We had the cheapest tickets without cinema and planetarium and found that completely sufficient.
