DINOSAURS ISLAND BAGUIO is a dinosaur animatronics themed park in Baguio Eco Park development. It is located in the forested area in Badiwan in Tuba, Benguet along Marcos Highway (near Baguio City).
Watch the highlights of our trip with the boys and my son Joshua’s first ever Youtube video blog:

Dinosaur Island Baguio entrance is inspired by Jurassic Park and the entire park aims to bring you back to the Land Before Time.
Brachiosaurus, one of the tallest and largest dinosaurs, greets you after climbing 102 steps into the park.
Iguanodon hunted by a bird-like dinosaur called Deinonychus which means Terrible Claw.
Meet Carnotaurus which is Greek for “meat-eating bull”!
The Oviraptor is a small, bird-like, omnivorous dinosaur which is notorious as an Egg Robber.

Memnchisaurus which means Mamenxi (Ferry) Lizard is a huge plant-eating dinosaur with a tremendously elongated neck and a long tail.
The male Tyrannosaurus Rex is my personal animatronic favorite because of its graceful powerful roar and blinking beautiful eyes.
The entire tour ends with the Dancing Dino! Watch the dance here: Dinosaurs Island Baguio Tour with Joshua-saurus!
It would be nice to have more Dino themed-rides inside the park so that the entrance fee is worth it.
Overall, it is a good theme park destination for the boys and our guide Anjo made the tour fun and educational.
Make sure to stop for a good 1-hour hike around the park before your Baguio food trip.

P.S. We did not try the Holy Land themed park and I’m not sure if it is worth a visit with kids. Any feedback on the Holy Land themed park?
I’m really looking forward to exploring Dinosaurs Island Bangui next month with my children. Our family has already been to Phuket FantaSea Thai cultural theme park, our first Asia-based theme park. The children loved the elephants, the show was amazing with lots of special effects. The place is suitable for families with many facilities to suit the family needs. And children below 100cm go free. Don’t miss it if you happen to be in Phuket!
