Journey to the Age of Dinosaurs (Košice, Slovakia)
Somehow, after watching the next cartoons, a child asked to show him dinosaurs, which made him a little stupor) The solution to this situation was to visit the Dino Park, the closest one to us in Kosice (Slovakia).
The most convenient option, it seemed to me, was to leave Uzhgorod or Mukachevo for one day on a sightseeing tour in the city of Kosice (less than 100 km away) with a mandatory visit to the Dino Park. From Uzhgorod there are many offers in this direction, we chose the local tour operator Lara-Tour. Special thanks to accompanying Oksana.
Dino Park is located on the territory of the zoo, therefore, to visit it, you must also purchase a ticket to the zoo. Cost Zoo + Dino-Park: adult ticket 7 euros; children from 2 to 6 years old - 2.5 euros; children under 2 years old - free of charge; schoolchildren, students, pensioners - 4 euros. If you go to the Zoo and decide to visit the Dino Park, it will be more expensive, so it’s better to buy a combined ticket right away. We had a group and the ticket was purchased as a group.
There is paid parking in front of the Dino Park, the cost per car is 2 euros, the bus is 5 euros, the bus is 10 euros. Money is collected at the entrance of the Turks with whom you can bargain and bring down the price!
To get to the Dino Park, you have to go through the entire territory of the zoo!
Entering the territory of the Dino Park, you are transported to another era and reality, it seems that you have been transported millions of years ago. .
Dinosaur exhibits look very realistic. Some move their heads, tails, and in the silence of the forest, a growl is constantly heard. The territory is small, shady, you can get around everything quickly, but do not rush.
The only instance in the cage
A bloodthirsty scene from the dinosaur era
A mountain stream flows through the territory, perhaps during the rainy season the water level rises and this specimen is shown in the water
To understand the size of some specimens, pay attention to the people in the photo
There is a free 3D mini-cinema on site. Before entering the scoreboard, on which the countdown shows the time until the end of the session. The duration of the cartoon is about 20 minutes. Worth a look, but keep in mind that there are no seats like in a cinema, but only three large stumps where you can sit.
There is also a cafe with fast food, but it is better to have a bite to eat on the territory of the zoo, as there is more choice.
Very creative benches
The zoo left the impression of an analogue to ours. If you go to the zoo, then to Neridhaza (Hungary). Maybe later I'll post a story about his visit.
I liked the flamingos at the zoo
Resting benches
The entire territory of the zoo and the Dino Park can be easily walked around in 4-5 hours, or even less.
