EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Budapest’s unique dinosaur park reopened on mall rooftop

Exciting news alert! As we wrote earlier, Hungary’s very own Dinosaur Park opened on the rooftop of a busy Budapest mall near a bustling train station. The prehistoric park boasts a large collection of real-life dinosaurs, making it the perfect spot for dino-loving kids and their adventurous parents looking to escape the humdrum of home life. After a brief hiatus, the park roared back to life on 28th March!

According to Helló Magyar, the DinoPark at KÖKI Mall (right by the train station) stands as Budapest’s first permanent dinosaur park and educational hotspot. Freshly renovated and unveiled last Thursday, this space invites visitors to come face-to-face with 30 dynamic, roaring dinosaurs, from the awe-inspiring T-Rex to the gentle giant, Mamenchisaurus. With a whopping 80 sauropods dotting the landscape, it’s a Jurassic jungle just waiting to be explored!

Located in Budapest’s 10th district near the airport expressway, the mall is a breeze to reach from downtown. Simply hop on the blue metro line or catch a train, as the Kőbánya-Kispest Station is conveniently right next to the mall.

Budapest Dinosaur Park makes the ultimate family adventure this spring and summer

Each and every dino on display has been meticulously crafted by expert palaeontologists, aiming for maximum accuracy and a truly immersive experience. The park’s operator, Czech West Media, opened their tenth prehistoric park in Budapest last year. Founder Jiri Machalek said they created their first park in Plzeň in 2003. Machalek proudly boasts that they handle everything in-house, from design to construction, without relying on subcontractors.
