Dino Parc Râșnov, unveiled in 2015, is the largest dinosaur park in Southeast Europe and a distinctive open-air museum in Romania.
Nestled on Cetății Street, in close proximity to Râșnov Fortress, the park sprawls across four hectares and showcases over 120 scientifically authenticated life-sized dinosaur replicas crafted in accordance with the latest paleontological revelations.
Beyond the captivating dinosaur trail, the park boasts children’s playgrounds, tree houses featuring science exhibitions, an open-air cinema, adventure trails, a zip line, a laser maze, a soundbox, unique exhibitions, and various interactive zones. It consistently introduces new national and international scientific exhibitions.
Dino Parc Râșnov proudly presents a replica of the largest flying creature globally, Hatzegopteryx thambema, reputedly capable of circumnavigating the earth without pausing, as well as an exceedingly rare genuine meteorite discovered in Romania. Moreover, visitors can marvel at Seismosaurus, a colossal 45-meter-long sauropod renowned for inducing minor tremors with each step.
The park showcases an interactive volcano simulating an eruption and a mobile platform emulating three types of earthquakes: those induced by tectonic plate movement, a stampede of Seismosaurus, and volcanic eruptions.
