    A great place to take the kids and for adults too. Here you will find approximately 180 life size models of dinosaurs and also an activity center to keep the kids content. You can also see some fossils and bones from dinosaurs millions of years old. The area is famous for the quantity of dinosaur related items such as bones and fossils and is located around 10 minutes from the seaside so you can combine the two. They have a restaurant and a shop also where you can buy mostly dinosaur related items. There is plenty of parking.

    Very crowded amusement park for kids. The cost was 33 euro for two adults and one child. Visited on a Sunday and there were many people already in line at 11am. The outside park is mainly paths around large dinosaur statues. There is only one restaurant in the park and the line is super long. There are vending machines with ice cream and drinks around the park.

    A wonderful visit for Dino lovers of all ages. Run by extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff, it offers a day long excursion into the prehistoric era with creatures from all different times. An exciting adventure, with the opportunity to dig for fossils, create some art, and share all the dinosaur love. Food is good and highly accessible, super clean with the kindest staff. Highly recommended.

    My son was very impressed and so was I. I loved the ambiance noises that made it feel authentic, and the combination of scientific elements with participation activities for young kids (like digging for dinosaur fossils). There were a wide range of surprisingly realistic dinosaurs to view. I’m sure any Dino-loving kid would absolutely adore a visit.

    Imagine a tranquil walk through pinewoods, but with life-sized dinosaurs around every corner! The sounds they added made the whole experience even more immersive. Plus, they let us bring our dog, which was a great bonus. However, the park's bathroom situation was a letdown - they were in a state that made them impossible to use. As for snacks, options were limited to ice creams and drinks outside of the restaurant. Despite these minor setbacks, the prehistoric experience makes it worth a visit.

    10/10 Highly recommend this park for children, teens and adults. My 3.5 daughter ran with excitement with her friend 7 years old, they squealed with joy and excitement for hours under well shaded pine tree forest. It was perfect for a hot summers day. They had a places to grab snacks, ice cream and drinks. We stopped to do a Dino Excavation project that was enjoyed by all. we plan on returning as we didn’t see everything and didn’t make it to the activities center. My daughter can’t stop talking about it a day later!

    Great experience for the whole family. Not our first trip to Portugal but our first to Lourinhã and Dino Parque. Kids aged 8,10, 11 all loved it. Friendly and helpful staff, particularly Diogo and Pedro who took the time to talk with us and answer our questions. Thought we would be here 2-3 hours but spent almost the entire day! Highly recommend if you have a dino lover in your house!

    Super Dino Park in der Pampa von Portugal :-) im Vergleich zu manch anderen Parks, findet man in diesem Park genug für alle Kinder. Die Preise sind allerdings im Park etwas hoch. Auch das Essen könnte mehr Qualität vertragen. Nehmt euch gerne eure Speisen selbst mit, denn vor Ort ist der Verzehr möglich. Super nettes und freundliches Personal!!

    Amazing place, it has different paths that lead to different time periods. From sea monsters to the famous T-Rex and so many others, we had (me and my girlfriend) a great time. It is a great place to visit especially if you are a dino lover 😉.

  • 5/5 Shafaq A. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing park for kids and adults. Attractive and informative at the same time.

  • 4/5 Marcio M. 7 months ago on Google
    Interesting experience for kids. The park has several routes dedicated to different era. Next to each “animal” there is a brief description. There is plenty of shade so even on hotter days it is bearable. There are some food and drinks inside the park but are a little on the expensive side

  • 5/5 jessica t. 6 months ago on Google
    Sind jetzt schon das 2 te mal hier und wieder sehr begeistert. Es ist ein schöner großer Park mit vielen Dinosauriern und kleinen Spielplätzen für die Kinder. Essen und Trinken kann man vor Ort kaufen und ist preislich völlig in Ordnung.

  • 5/5 Stefanie H. 6 months ago on Google
    Ein wirklich toller Park und das beste war ich hatte kein Kindergeschrei ,da so gut wie nix los war. So konnte ich mir alles in ruhigen angucken ohne genervt zu sein

  • 5/5 J B. 8 months ago on Google
    Wir sind 1 Stunde zu diesem Park gefahren und es war jede Minute wert! Ganz toller Park, unsere Kinder waren begeistert! Preise für Essen war auch in Ordnung! Für einzelne Aktivitäten muss man seperat bezahlen. Z.B. Dinos aus dem Stein/ schlagen oder anmalen

  • 5/5 Shawn R. 8 months ago on Google
    It was so surreal to see the dinosaurs and the sizes compared to us .Would recommend this place with family and loved ones only. If your with friends then its just not much to say.

  • 5/5 Nelli M. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing place ! Very good to visit with kids! Good for every age. Several cafe where you can eat and drink. Recommend 👌🏻

  • 5/5 Sérgio R. 8 months ago on Google
    What a great way to spend a day with the kids! There's so much to do and learn, and with all the services and facilities inside (and not as expensive as you would guess) you can plan a lunch and whole afternoon, easy

  • 5/5 Paulo L. 8 months ago on Google
    This was a time well spent. We wanted to come here for almost a year but the time was never right. This was for a good reason as we got to see the ice age exhibition which was only finished a couple of months ago. The park is not big but there are many extra activities which then makes a family spend easily the whole day. There are good facilities and friendly personnel. You get to know all kinds of dinosaurs. And there's didactic activities for kids.

  • 5/5 M M. 6 months ago on Google
    Not just for kids! Very educational, well laid out. Rest areas, play areas for kids, a lot of shaded areas. Great for learning.

  • 5/5 Benjamin L. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed a lot our visit, very friendly staff, good food and amazing park with real size dinosaurs to see in the forest. There's a small museum with actual fossils as well.

  • 4/5 MiKe M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to visit, for both kids and grown ups. The statues are pretty cool and life-like, the place is big, and you get to see the progression from the beginning of times 'till today. Also, the staff is friendly and helpful, and you can also enjoy a snack bar and a gift shop as well as real dinosaur bones.

  • 5/5 Bruno R. 11 months ago on Google
    Great fun for a family day out. All ages are welcomed. A lot of really cool life-size structures to see. Has a restaurant and a few food stalls to purchases beverages and snacks while you're on the go. Tickets are cheaper online, so I would recommend purchasing them beforehand.

  • 5/5 Vitor M. 1 year ago on Google
    As dinosaurs fan I visited several parks around the world. This park is the best: you walk in the big forest around all type of dinosaurs replicas. Their size is matching the real ones, the rendering is amazing. When you are on the city of Lourinhã (near from the park) you can find dinosaurs replicas like on roundabouts. I absolutely recommend it!

  • 5/5 4 Adventuring A. 1 year ago on Google
    Brilliant dinosaur Park with very large dinosaur statues (some animated) in shaded bushland flat walking areas. Perfect for kids of all ages. Pram/push chair friendly, shad, picnic tables, well places ice cream stops. Large hands on activity area, photo opportunities, peak through to fossil lab. Bone and fossils on display. Great day out.

  • 2/5 caitlyn m. 2 years ago on Google
    Out of everything I have done in my life, this was the most disappointing money spent. The entrance cost is NOT worth it at all. It's nice to see all the dinosaurs etc but it's just not worth the entrance fee. Can walk through Lourinha and see the dinosaurs on display for free and it would have been better. Most of the kids I saw there today were not interested, including mine. Although the park does allow for some great photos.

  • 5/5 José F. 2 years ago on Google
    This dinosaur park is really good and the people are super nice. The kids loved walking through the woods and seeing the life size dinosaur replicas. Fun way to spend a few hours with kids!

  • 5/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    life size plastic sculptures of dinosaurs to entertain your kids there are two you can climb on. There is a snack bar with hamburgers and fries as well as a Portuguese meal of the day. My kid loves this place. Near the activity center there is a great playground with many places for kids to climb. There are picnic tables and many families bring their own food. the gift shop has some expensive plastic dinosaurs but no Books. you might buy your child a coloring book or picture book elsewhere and present it to her after you get home to help remember and extend their enjoyment.

  • 5/5 Ray H. 2 years ago on Google
    If you're in the area and have a dinosaur loving grandchild visiting, this is a must. Actually I'd like to go back by myself for a more detailed look. Unusually for Portugal dogs are welcome too.

  • 5/5 Wagner A. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good replicas of dinossaurs spreaded away in a very large and open space. Perfect for kids. Divided in five or six areas according to the creatures habitats (sea, lakes and rivers, land, etc). There is a spectacular replica with around 45 meters of weight, really big, fantastic. Good picnic areas. Ideal for a interval during a big car travel, and stretch the body. Kids will love. Adults, too.

  • 5/5 Cecilia B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good and interesting park. They have a very good area, many dinosaurs and sounds. They have all services that you can needed to stay there with kids. Very nice place!

  • 5/5 Dave J. 2 years ago on Google
    Good family day for the entire family. Dad loved it too. !!!

  • 5/5 Bush D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to take the kids , lots of activities , you can have lunch at the cafeteria or take your own and have a picnic under the nice shaded areas all over the park 👌🏻

  • 5/5 Pedro O. 2 years ago on Google
    Spent a good afternoon with the kids and the dogs. The younger ones really enjoyed all the dinosaurs to explore and running through the all the questions in the quiz that entitled them to a small dinosaur takeaway in the end.

  • 4/5 Ruben S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great for families. Food could be better and more diverse. Kids loved it

😠 Access is difficult and there are no washrooms or services available. The ocean here is treacherous as well. If you are looking for a place with lifeguards and some amenities, I suggest going to Areia Branca.
