Dinopark Funtana: Where Prehistory Comes to Life
If you’re traveling through Istria with kids – or just happen to be a dinosaur fan yourself – there’s one place that promises both excitement and a step back in time: Dinopark Funtana. Nestled between Poreč and Vrsar, this theme park brings the prehistoric world of dinosaurs roaring to life.
As soon as you enter the park, life-sized animatronic dinosaurs greet you from behind the trees. Some move, others roar, all designed to capture the imagination. Walking through the shaded paths feels like wandering into another era – one where giants once ruled the earth.
But it’s not just about looking. Dinopark Funtana invites visitors to experience the prehistoric world hands-on.
Fun for the whole family
Alongside the dinosaur trails, the park offers live shows under the big top – from acrobatic performances to knight tournaments, adding a dose of entertainment to the adventure. There’s also a mini amusement park, fossil digs, and even a dinosaur ride, ensuring that visitors of all ages find something fun to do.
And when you need a break? The park’s restaurant is built inside a giant wooden dinosaur head, giving you the chance to dine in truly unique surroundings.
A playful adventure in Istria
Dinopark Funtana isn’t just about dinosaurs – it’s about sparking curiosity, encouraging exploration, and creating family memories. Whether it’s the thrill of spotting a T-Rex in the woods or the joy of a child digging up a “fossil,” the park delivers a full day of fun and learning.
It’s the perfect outing for families looking to balance relaxation and adventure, adding a playful twist to any Istrian itinerary.
