The site was discovered by local paleontologists who unearthed thousands of bones belonging to the Triassic period.
The Park's museum, the 'Prehistoric Oceanarium', uses 3D cinema technology to simulate encounters with extinct marine life.
The excavation pavilion allows visitors to walk directly over active archaeological dig sites protected by glass.
The park maintains a research team that continues to classify new specimens found in the Krasiejów clay pits.
The life-sized reconstructions are based on current osteological research conducted at the site.
JuraPark Krasiejów is Europe’s largest dinosaur park, situated directly over an active paleontological excavation site. The park features a permanent exhibition of over 200 life-sized dinosaur models, primarily representing species discovered in the surrounding area. An educational trail guides visitors through geological history, including a time tunnel experience. The on-site Paleontology Pavilion preserves the world's most dense concentration of Triassic reptile fossils under a glass floor. Additional attractions include a prehistoric oceanarium, an evolution-themed museum, and a dedicated play area for children. It operates as a combined scientific research center and family entertainment complex. The facility is located in the Opole region of Poland.

Wear comfortable walking shoes as the educational path covers a significant distance.
Check the pavilion excavation status online before arriving, as scientific work occasionally restricts access to specific pits.
Visit the 'Time Tunnel' early in the day to avoid the longest queues.
Do not attempt to see every exhibit in a single hour; the park is expansive and designed for half-day exploration.
The park operates seasonally, typically opening for the season in the spring and closing for the winter months; check for mid-week closures during early spring or late autumn.
