The park utilizes animatronic technology imported to provide realistic movement and vocalization features for the replicas.
The site is intentionally landscaped to recreate the prehistoric environments where the specific dinosaur species are believed to have lived.
The park's location takes advantage of the specific topography of the Sinoserra Bosque, incorporating existing local vegetation into the dinosaur exhibits.
Vale dos Dinossauros is an outdoor amusement park located in Canela, Rio Grande do Sul, featuring over 40 animatronic dinosaur replicas. These models are designed to move and emit sounds, simulating lifelike behavior within a landscaped forest setting. The park occupies a significant area of native Atlantic Forest, integrated with walking trails that connect the different exhibits. The collection features a variety of species, including the T-Rex and various sauropods, presented in educational contexts. Visitors navigate through the valley using paved paths that allow for close-up viewing of the animatronics. The park is part of a larger network of tourism attractions in the Canela and Gramado region.
The large T-Rex model near the entrance area provides the most iconic backdrop for photos.
Wear comfortable, non-slip footwear as the terrain consists of sloped walking paths through a forest environment.
Apply insect repellent before entering, as the forested area is prone to mosquitoes and other insects.
Visit on a weekday to avoid peak crowds from regional tourism traffic.
Avoid arriving during heavy rain, as the outdoor nature of the park makes walking on the trails muddy and difficult.
Do not touch or climb on the animatronic models; remain on the designated pathways at all times.
