The place is really dusty and hot, so bring appropriate clothes, wear sunblock and bring plenty of water. The attraction is interesting for children 5-6 or older. Is not well kept, dinosaurs are faded walking roads are dirty. If you have visited dinosaur parks in the US, is not with it. About 1hr walking tour where very knowledgeable guides tell you about dinosaurs.

Large park with sculptures of dinosaurs and curate description of environment and other facts. very entertaining, probably from age 4 and with enough activities for any age. Entertaining food options.
I am bilingual, and my family is also bilingual, but they commented to the managers that translation to English will be Wellcome.
Entiendo que ha sido diseñado para turistas locales, pero ahora con bastantes extranjeros van a agregar explicaciones en Inglés.

Custom made dinosaur models with many unique features. The park continues to grow and new exhibits are added. Interesting Lake that may contain later some creatures. When vegetation grows it will enhance the experience. The knowledge of guides of guides and ability to answer questions is good.
Food is good with creative meals.
Muy buena experiencia.

I loved how happy this park made my son. He loves Dinosaurs so he enjoyed everything at this park. From the excavation for fossils to all the great dinosaurs for him to touch and take pictures with.

This is a pleasant little park with statues of dinosaurs and some information describing them in Spanish along a path.
There is a minigolf course available for an extra fee and the option of hiring a boat on the upper lake (5,000 COP for 2 people, 10,000 COP for the larger inflatable boat for 4 people).
We didn't find the dinosaurs particularly impressive, although the audio of imagined dinosaur sounds was kind of interesting.
We enjoyed a picnic lunch with the kids in a little inflatable row-boat on the bright blue and incredibly clear lake.
The zip wire has been taken down (possibly a good thing, given the previous review suggested it was a bit precarious).
It was quite warm when we went to Parque Gondava - definitely bring hat and sunscreen.
At 44,000 (approx $25 USD) for 2 adults and 2 kids, we felt it simply was poor value, especially considering the extra costs required for mini-golf and for the boat.

This park is a recommended place if you visit Villa de Leyva area with very kind guides and nice representation (some in real size) of dinosaurs and prehistorical animals like mammoths.
Very recommended if your kids love dinosaurs and ancient animals.

If you are traveling with kids you should spend couple of hours here. It is very well organized and dinosaurs very well done. 1 hour tour more or less.

I have been to this place twice. Most recently about 6 months ago. I have 2 children that were 7 and 5 on the last visit and they loved it. Children of that age are able to suspend their belief in a fantastic way. They were really excited to go exploring around the dinosaurs both times. The magic of the place is not the dinosaurs (they really are not that good) but the reaction from the kids. If you don't have young kids with you to help you see these models really come to life, don't bother. Yes the guides are knowledgeable and you can learn a lot (provided you know Spanish) but if you have a genuine interest in dinosaurs then go to the nearby fossil museum. My kids went there as well and they were honestly a bit bored with it. As they say horses for courses.
I do agree with the other reviews about the dinosaurs being a bit crap and tired looking. It could be so much better, but then this is Colombia.

I brought all the troop along with me for a lovely visit to "Jurasic park" it was outstanding, the kidos loved the dinosaurs and had a great guide (Jaime was very knowledgable.) If you come to Boyaca this place is a most visit!

Si se pueden ingresar mascotas, muchos lugares en Villa de Leyva son pet friendly!! Eso me encanta
Desde el pueblo de Villa de Leyva, queda fácil llegar?
No se en dónde hospedarme !
Que tan fácil es llegar al parque sí no se cuenta con un automóvil propio? muchas gracias

No es fácil, pero en el pueblo existen muchas opciones de transporte que se pueden utilizar
Cuánto durá el recorrido? Se podría ir con un coche para un bebé o es demasiado encarte?
