Dino Park on Phuket Island

In Phuket, you can not only sunbathe on the beach, but also travel back to the prehistoric era. Between Kata and Karon on the mountain is Dino Park - a unique dinosaur park that also serves as a magnificent golf course.

Today Dino Park in Phuket has become one of the main attractions of the island and a frequent destination for tourists with children. Dino Park is a fairly large, artificially created, picturesque place with caves, waterfalls, a volcano, jungle and rocks. This is a great place for a family holiday, where it will be interesting for both adults and children. Here you can walk around the territory and admire the dinosaurs hiding in the greenery, play a game of mini-golf or have a bite to eat in the original themed cafe.

Sometimes for the entertainment of visitors in the evenings brought a little elephant, he can be fed cane and bananas, and children can be happy to ride him on the park paths.

Park Arrangement

Inside, Dino Park combines natural tropical plantations with artificial caves, volcanoes, waterfalls, and stone sculptures. As you walk among this splendor, dinosaurs of enormous size stare at visitors from different corners.

The figures of these prehistoric creatures are created in life-size, which causes a wild delight of the younger generation. In the evening, special lighting and sound effects with the roar of dinosaurs and other attributes of the Jurassic period are turned on in the park area.

Mini Golf

The main attraction of Dino Park, of course, is miniature golf. Players will play 18 special holes in the colorful areas of the park.

You'll have to play in the middle of primeval swamps, in a lava cave, hear Tyrannosaurus Rex roar, walk under a 12-meter waterfall, and even under an erupting volcano. Clubs, balls, and other necessary equipment are given to those who want them at the entrance. Instructors teach beginners the rules and the first techniques of the game.

The created mini-golf course allows sixty visitors to play simultaneously for 40 minutes. After golf, it's nice to sit with your game partners in a bar or restaurant with a glass of a refreshing cocktail.

Dino Bar

Dinosaur Park is famous for its Dino Bar. This is an institution based on the cartoon "The Flintstones", stylized as a stone age. Here you can just relax and drink your favorite drink after a long walk through the jungle.

The restaurant offers a huge variety of Thai and European dishes, a special menu of ice cream, fruit and other delicacies for the little ones, as well as a large range of regular or craft beer for adults.
