Hungary’s biggest dinosaur park is now open

The Veszprém Zoo’s Dinosaur Park was opened on Wednesday 18 May and awaits visitors with 30 life-sized dinosaur sculptures, travelo.hu writes

László Török, director of the Zoo, told MTI that the Dinosaur Park’s area is 2 ha, and the project cost 170 million HUF. The Park displays dinosaur sculptures from the Mesozoic era, which includes the Triassic-, Jurassic,-and Cretaceous periods.

There are 30 life-sized dinosaurs in the Park which covers carnivorous and herbivorous species from the past 250
million years, such as the 23 metres long Diplodocus, or the 4 Veszprém Dinosaur Parkmetres high Tyrannosaurus Rex. More information can be found about the animals on the display boards next to the sculptures.

The exhibition includes an area where children can have a peek into the daily work of palaeontologists; the plastic sculptures were imported from Germany and are part of the Dinosaur Park (visitors need a valid ticket to the zoo to enter).

Veszprém’s deputy mayor Mária Brányi told, during the opening ceremony, that Dezső Laczkó palaeontologist found the bones of a placodont (“tablet teeth”) near the Dinosaur Park in 1899.
