Large-scale replicas, including a Tyrannosaurus Rex and Brachiosaurus, are positioned along the trails to simulate prehistoric encounters.

Location & Access Logistics

The site is located along Gil Puyat Avenue within the Clark Freeport Zone.

Public Transport: Accessible via the internal Clark shuttle system (Route 1) or by hiring a tricycle from the Clark Main Gate.

Parking: Dedicated parking facilities are available directly adjacent to the entrance.

Historical & Ecological Origin

Developed as part of the "Clark Land" complex, the park was designed to augment the educational tourism sector of Central Luzon. The landscape utilizes the natural greenery of the Clark area to create a prehistoric atmosphere, integrating mechanical exhibits into a semi-natural forest setting.

Key Highlights & Activities

Dino Trail: A walking tour featuring over 30 animatronic dinosaur species with motion and sound sensors.

Dino World Carnival: A section offering dinosaur-themed rides and games for younger children.

Jurassic Safari: A simulated ride experience involving a vehicle "chase" by animatronic dinosaurs.

Infrastructure & Amenities

Ticketing: On-site ticketing booths are located at the main gate; various package deals covering multiple Clark Land attractions are common.

Facilities: The park includes a small museum, a souvenir shop, and basic restroom facilities.

Connectivity: 5G/4G cellular coverage is strong throughout the park.

Dining: A cafeteria and several snack stalls are located near the entrance.

Best Time to Visit

The best time for photography is during the early morning (08:00 to 10:00) to avoid the midday heat, as much of the trail is outdoors. Weekdays are recommended for a more immersive experience with fewer crowds. The park operates daily from 08:00 to 17:00.

Facts & Legends

A unique operational aspect is the "Dino Dance" performance, where staff in dinosaur suits perform choreographed routines for visitors at scheduled intervals. While the exhibits are educational, the park emphasizes entertainment and interactive photography over strict paleontological accuracy.
