Forest of the Dinosaurs

In the most beautiful forest of giant sequoia and cypress trees, you will experience the almost lifelike presence of ancient giants – even their eyes move! Our Dinosaurs Forest is the wildest in Europe. Here, you will encounter all the wild dinosaurs, from the fierce T. rex to the world’s largest dinosaur – a staggering 47-meter-long neck.

In the camp area of the Dinosaurs Forest, you will learn more about the history of life on Earth, the evolution of dinosaurs and their descendants, as well as the work of paleontologists in excavations and identification of fossil finds. Children and the young at heart can even excavate fossils from 60 million-year-old limestone blocks from the Faxe Quarry. Make sure to also visit our shop, Pangea, where we sell everything from dinosaur plush toys to authentic dinosaur fossils! From the area, you have access to the enclosure with emus and kangaroos, both of which have relevance to the history of dinosaurs.

You can also visit the Museum of Evolution. Here, you will embark on a journey through time from the Permian period into the era of dinosaurs. Experience Europe’s most complete exhibition of Permian animals, culminating with the awe-inspiring Big Joe.

Tyrannosaurus Rex

T. rex females were likely larger than males. Despite their small and weak-looking arms, they were capable of lifting 200kg each!

Patagotitan mayorum

The largest animal to have ever walked on land! The model in the Dinosaur Forest is a staggering 47 meters long, making it the largest in the world!

Allosaurus

Allosaurus was a large carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Jurassic period. It inhabited what is now North America and preyed on other massive dinosaurs.

Baryonyx

The large claw on the first finger of its hands suggests a specialization in catching fish. Baryonyx means "heavy claw".

Citipati

Citipati was an Oviraptor, which means "egg thief," but it has turned out to be a misunderstanding. It was actually a loving dinosaur species that, uniquely, brooded its eggs.

Deinonychus

With a jaw bite as powerful as an alligator's, Deinonychus could easily crush the bones of its prey.

Dilophosaurus

The function of the distinctive double crest of the carnivorous dinosaur Dilophosaurus is not known with certainty. It has been suggested that it was too fragile to serve as a weapon or for protection.

Edmontonia

The herbivorous dinosaur Edmontonia was well protected against predators with its robust, thorn-like scales (osteoderms), making it a rather challenging prey.

Triceratops

Triceratops means "three-horned face," and it was a large herbivorous dinosaur that walked on four legs.

Quetzalcoatlus

With an enormous wingspan of over 9 meters, Quetzalcoatlus was one of the largest flying animals ever.

Apatosaurus

The enormous herbivore could grow up to about 25 meters long and had a very long whip-like tail.

Pteranodon

A genus of flying reptiles, also known as pterosaurs (meaning flying reptiles), lived during the Late Cretaceous period around 75-66 million years ago. The largest species could have a wingspan of up to 6 meters.

Parasaurolophus

The distinctive crest on the head of Parasaurolophus was hollow and tube-shaped like a pan flute, allowing it to produce deep roars.

Utahraptor

Utahraptor was the most dangerous predatory dinosaur in the Late Cretaceous period, 75-66 million years ago. It is named after the state of Utah in the USA. "Raptor" means predator.

Coelophysis

The carnivorous Coelophysis walked on its hind legs and was a fast hunter. Fossil evidence suggests that Coelophysis was a social species that lived and hunted in groups.
