What makes it 72% Solo-Friendly: Life-size dinosaur trail, fossil exhibits, 5D cinema and free guided shows let a solo adult explore independently, but the narrative depth is basic and the child-heavy crowd may bore after 2-3 hours.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: A 2-3 hour visit covers the animatronic trail, fossil museum and 5D cinema without rushing.
Self-Guided Dino Walk:
Follow a 500m path past over 50 animatronic dinosaurs.
Tip: Start at the entrance to avoid midday crowds.
Dinosaur Hospital Tour:
Join the free 10-minute show every 30 minutes to see a dino egg hatch.
Tip: Arrive 5 minutes early to secure a front-row spot.
Excavation Area:
Dig for fossil replicas using provided tools in a shaded sandbox.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes and use the park helmet for safety.
5D Cinema & VR Simulator:
Experience motion seats, wind effects and immersive VR masks.
Tip: Save this for last to avoid long lines earlier.
Café & Wi-Fi:
Relax with coffee and free Wi-Fi at the dino-themed café.
Tip: Grab a window seat to plan the rest of your trip.

Spent the day here with my son and had the best time. There is so much to do! A dinosaur museum, the floor is lava, animatronic dinosaurs, a dinosaur hospital, science museum, planetarium, 5D cinema, VR experience. All the staff were friendly and helpful, and great food. Highly recommend.

We went during the morning with two kids (5,3 yo). They enjoyed it, we were there almost 3 hours. There are different activities that are available with no extra money (guess who? Puzzles, excavations, dinosaur hospital, playground). There are benches to sit and even some shade from the trees. At the end, we bought a pizza (tasting) from the restaurant and some games for the kids from the souvenir...

Our son enjoyed the park, specially the doctor animation that was really nice. We did the cinema 5D where the first part was a bit out of context and the second part scared or 3 years old son. I would recommend this for kids at least 5 years old (?) It was calm, not many people, don’t need to book on the internet there was no queue at all

It's ok this place, I wouldn't say it's the best. Again, we got there for opening time, was a nice staff member at the reception desk, very helpful. Amazing animatronics on the dinosaurs & facts with everyone you see around the park. Gift shop wasn't all that great could've had a lot more in there if I'm honest, but the food there was good. More so for kids so if you have a child, go there for...

Took my 9-year-old and 4-year-old here. Best day of the holiday. About €10 each to get in, which takes about 1 hour to explore and 30mins play at the end. But there is lots of extras to get. We spent the extra £5 each to explore the science area. Which was well worth it and we spend another hour in here. The dinosaures were amazing. The hospital tour was good. The kids had a great time. Well worth...
Visit early on summer mornings to beat the heat. In winter or on rainy days, focus on the fossil museum and 5D films indoors.
