“Dinosaur Park Nowiny Wielkie” is the perfect destination for a family trip. We invite you to enjoy many attractions, the greatest of which is a forest educational trail featuring over 70 life-size models of prehistoric animals, and the Geological Museum with a rich collection of fossilized remains of plants and animals from all eras, minerals, and meteorites.
A 700-metre winding path, immersed in the greenery of the forest, guides us through successive geological periods, showing the development of life on Earth. During the walk, we will go back hundreds of millions of years – to the time of the first amphibians and giant dragonflies, see the first mammals, and come face to face with dinosaurs, the largest animals to have ever lived on our planet.
The park has been designed and created with all visitors in mind, regardless of age. This journey into prehistory will be an unforgettable experience, providing many emotions and knowledge about the fascinating history of the evolution of life on Earth. Guided tours are available for organized groups.
