Tria la teva experiència
Dino Parque Lourinhã is an open-air attraction near Lisbon, set across 10 hectares in the town of Lourinhã and recognised as the largest open-air dinosaur museum in Portugal. The park arranges more than 200 life-size models of dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures across five themed outdoor trails, each corresponding to a distinct geological period: the end of the Paleozoic and Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Cenozoic Ice Age, and Marine Monsters. Lourinhã itself has a strong palaeontological heritage, with the surrounding region yielding some of the most significant Late Jurassic fossil finds in Europe, making it a fitting base for an attraction of this kind. For visitors travelling from Lisbon, the town sits roughly 60 kilometres north of the city.
Inside the park, the Live Lab allows visitors to observe working palaeontologists preparing real fossils, and a curated fossil exhibition produced in partnership with GEAL, Lourinhã Museum, provides additional scientific context. The five trails are self-guided and suitable for all ages, with wheelchair access available throughout. An Activities Pavilion on site offers educational programmes for families, though these are not covered by standard entry. Entry tickets include access to all five outdoor trails, the Live Lab, and the fossil exhibition. Guided tours and activity sessions are available separately. The starting point is at Rua Vale dos Dinossauros 25, Lourinhã.
