Description
A megagame for 30-40 players.
Journey Back to the Dawn of Time
Dino Island is a unique and thrilling theme park that takes visitors on a journey to the time of the dinosaurs. Unlike traditional parks, the dinosaurs at Dino Island have been brought to life through advanced genetic manipulation, making them as real as they were millions of years ago.
Plenty to see and do!
With over 30 species of dinosaurs, visitors can witness these magnificent creatures roam, hunt, and interact with one another in their natural habitats. The park's attractions include the Dino Safari, where guests can explore the park on a guided tour and observe the dinosaurs in their habitats, and the T-Rex Pursuit, an adrenaline-fueled ride where visitors will come face-to-face with a massive T-Rex.
A World-Class Research Centre
In addition to the thrilling experiences, Dino Island is also dedicated to advancing the science of genetic engineering and dinosaur research. The park's research centre, staffed by top geneticists and palaeontologists, is at the forefront of this field and is constantly working to improve and enhance the dinosaurs in the park.
Arrange an Educational Field Trip
Visitors can learn about the science behind Dino Island, including the methods used to bring the dinosaurs to life, and even participate in interactive exhibits and educational programs to deepen their understanding of these amazing creatures. Dino Island is a one-of-a-kind destination that offers a unique combination of adventure, excitement, and education.
