"Jurassic Adventure" Park in Belgrade, Serbia

[Simon]

This park just opened last week - as it happens I arrived a few days ago to visit family.  It is located within the grounds of the old Kalemegdan fortress (which is now a huge park and the main Belgrade tourist attraction).  Lots of dinosaurs, a few (TRex, Triceratops, Allosaurus) are full size, many more half-size or less.

There are also a couple of dinos that are animatronic (kids' rodeo-type roaring rides), and a couple of man-dino suits, one of which I posed with.

The souvenir booth had the usual assortment of Chinasaurs but also a couple of more expensive boxed knock-offs of Papo TRex and Wild Safari Apatosaurus.

It seems that the sculptors who made the dinosaurs based each model on a different toy - see how many you can identify - so some are more accurate than others, and a few even have the correct orientation of the wrists.

Best of all the price of admission is less than US $3.50 for adults, and less for children.  When we were there the little kids seemed to be really enjoying themselves, I have never seen so many little kids having their pictures takes with their favorite dinosaurs.

A few photos will follow shortly, so - enjoy!

This doesn't really fit with the rest of the album, but I thought it was a cute photo of two sleeping White Lions at the Belgrade Zoo near the dinosaur park:

Thanks for sharing, Simon.

Seems they used toys of several companies for reference to build theses things. Some look a bit clumsy and I spot a lot of inaccuracies, but as I kid I would have loved such a park. Despite its skin wrapped skull with the visible fenestra, I really like the T. rex' head.

Admission price is pretty awesome, even an attraction like that here is 20.00 ..aside from our place.

They look like the asian dinos so see here at a lot of those new traveling exhibits.

Pretty cool exhibit. I definitely see inspiration from Krentz's styracosaurus.

Awesome! I wish we had one of those around here.
