Dinópolis is Teruel's palaeontology park, in the Los Planos industrial estate, on the outskirts of the city. It combines a palaeontological museum with dinosaur remains found in the province, themed routes, shows, a 4D simulator, a 3D cinema and outdoor areas. Entry costs from €34 for adults and €27 for children aged 4 to 11, and the park estimates an average visit of six and a half hours.

A day inside the park

You go in in the morning and leave in the afternoon: you cannot leave and re-enter with the same ticket, or bring in food or drink from outside. The times of shows and attractions are on the map you are given at the access control or the ticket desk, so look at it on arrival and plan the day around them. Only two attractions have a minimum height: Sauriopark and the Terra Colossus 4D virtual simulator. During the plays and the T-Rex Show you cannot take photos or record.

Inside there are four restaurants: La Parada de Riox, La Terraza de Rubi, the Mesón de Dinoel and La Cantina de Rocco. They have a gluten-free menu and an allergen list. Most of the facilities are covered and the park does not close for rain; if an area closes because of the weather or a breakdown, no refund is given.

Open only on calendar days

Dinópolis does not open every day: only those marked on its calendar, and the ones that do not appear are closed. In 2026 the Teruel site opens on those dates until 30 December, from 10:00 to 19:00 or 20:00 depending on the day, with the ticket desk closing at 15:00. The sites around the province, such as Mar Nummus in Albarracín, closed the season on 2 November.

Animals are not admitted, except guide dogs. The tickets and attractions are set up for people with reduced mobility. The park recommends warm clothing according to the season and comfortable footwear.

Before and after the park

The Sunday with children at Dinópolis and Plaza del Torico leaves the afternoon for the centre: the Escalinata and Plaza del Torico can be walked in an hour and a half. To stay with children, the Hotel El Mudayyan has family rooms for four in the historic centre.

  • Arrive before 15:00 That is when the ticket desk closes, and after that tickets are not sold.
  • Check the calendar before you set out On days that do not appear on it, the park is closed.
  • Eat inside You cannot bring in outside food and, if you leave, you cannot re-enter.
