Dinopolis, Teruel

This is an enjoyable but expensive family day out with plenty of educational displays (the paleontology museum rivals London's Natural History Museum dinosaur section - seriously) and simple rides for the very young. The more modern exciting things like a 4D simulator had height restrictions which put them out of bounds for most young children which is frankly absurd and very bad planning on Dinopolis' part. We got round this with carefully placed folded napkins in our granddaughter's shoes and a high baseball cap :-) Beware the food restriction too - you can't take food in for "hygiene and safety reasons". What the heck is that all about?! They're happy for people to eat the restaurant's food - must be hygienic and safe! We took packed lunches nonetheless. There are also no water fountains. This place wants you to buy everything. Quite a cynical business ploy frankly. A small bottle of water which would normally be no more than 0.50 euros in a supermarket is 1.70 euros! Water is a basic necessity, especially in such a hot place where, by the way, there is very little shade. Take note. This said though, we did enjoy ourselves but it was marred by cynical marketing and a food policy which had us eating in fear of being thrown out :-)

My son had a lot of fun. A lot of different things to do from plays to 4D experiences to real fossils museum. A good way to spend a day.
