The park serves as a botanical site for the rare Wollemia nobilis, a tree species thought to have been extinct for millions of years until its rediscovery in 1994.
Models are constructed with robotic components allowing for realistic respiratory and head movements.
The park is one of several DinoPark locations in the Czech Republic, all sharing a unified design aesthetic.
The paleontology playground is designed to mimic an active scientific dig site.
DinoPark ZOO Plzeň is a themed amusement park situated directly within the grounds of the Plzeň Zoological and Botanical Garden. It features dozens of life-size robotic dinosaur models set in outdoor environments designed to simulate Mesozoic ecosystems. The park includes an educational paleontological playground where children can uncover a replica of a dinosaur skeleton buried in the sand. A 3D cinema on-site screens exclusive short films focused on prehistoric life. The grounds incorporate permanent exhibitions of prehistoric flora, including the Wollemia nobilis, a rare coniferous tree species known as a living fossil. The park layout utilizes the natural hilly terrain to enhance the immersive experience of the moving models.

Purchase a combined entry ticket if you intend to visit the connected Plzeň Zoo to save on total admission costs.
Bring sun protection, as the dinosaur paths are largely exposed to direct sunlight.
Plan to watch the 3D film early in your visit, as theater capacity can fill up during peak weekend hours.
Do not attempt to visit the DinoPark as a standalone destination without accounting for the extensive walking required within the larger Zoo complex.
Closed during the winter season; operates primarily from spring through late autumn.
Avoid climbing on the dinosaur models; stay on the designated gravel paths.
