Dinosaurs Island: A fun-filled trip to the "land before time"

Saturday, October 19, 2013



Dinosaurs Island is an animatronics dinosaur park in Clark, Pampanga.  It is located behind Clark Picnic Grounds near Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA).  They're open Mondays to Sundays from 9:00AM to 5:00PM.

This is a great place especially for my nephews who likes dinosaurs so much.  They never get tired watching Jurassic Park, all 3 movies, even if we adults are already sick of it (they want to watch it almost everyday).  They hadn't stopped asking about the place since we let them see some pictures and videos of the dinosaurs in the park.



The ticket counter is on the right side of the main entrance (with the sign Dinosaurs Island) of the park.  The entrance fee is PhP350 per person.  They offer discounted rates for students: PhP300 for private school students and PhP250 for public school students.  They also have a discounted rate of PhP280 for senior citizens.   Children below 2 feet tall are free, although when we were procuring tickets, they informed us that children 3 years and below are free.  Woohooo! One of my nephews is only 3 years old so he goes in free.  We were also able to download (and print) a voucher from Clark Freeport Marketing so we got additional 10% off.  We went there as walk-ins and they still accepted the voucher.

Attractions in the park include Dino Trail, Fossils Museum, Adventure Ride and World of Fun.  The Adventure Ride is an additional PhP50.  Inside the park, there's also a platform where one could see the whole park and have a chance to have a picture feeding the T-rex for PhP20.

Inside the park, one would not get lost as the there's only one path.  About a third of the trail is the Fossils Museum.  Walking in the park could take 1-2 hours depending on how long you would stay on each dinosaur.

At the end of the trail, before the exit, is the World of Fun.  Here, they have dinosaur mascots entertaining the guests.  We were presented with dinosaurs dancing to the tune of Psy's Gentleman.

The adventure ride can be found outside the park.  One could ride the dinosaur for a fee.

They have a new attraction: Jurassic Safari ride for PhP100.  We haven't tried it but they said that guests would ride a cart (normally for a group of 6) and would be chased by dinosaurs.  The ride would take about 10-15 minutes.
