This 2.5 km trail takes you through exceptional natural surroundings, in the shade of the woodland, where 80 life-sized dinosaur sculptures are waiting to be discovered in our amusement park. The trail is suitable for young and old, from ages 3 and up. You should allow between 1 and 1.5 hours to complete the trail in our dinosaur park.
Head off in search of life-sized dinosaurs in exceptional natural surroundings. Every dinosaur has its own educational information panel in French, English, German and Dutch.
The Dino-Zoo park is located in the East of France, in the Bourgogne Franche-Comté region. The Jura Mountains are marked by the history of dinosaurs. Here in our region, the remains of Plateosauruses and numerous prehistoric fossils were found.
