This Mall's New IG-Friendly Dino Theme Park Might be the Closest We Get to Jurassic Park

(SPOT.ph) Everyone had an extreme fascination with dinosaurs at some point in their lives. Whether you were once a kid amazed at these prehistoric giants or are currently an adult enamored by the Jurassic Park films—er, Paleontology—anything dinosaur-themed is bound to be a hit. Case in point: We found this new dino hub called Dino Land in Quezon City's SM North Edsa. This new attraction promises guests of all ages a "walk-thru adventure" into the world of dinosaurs at rates starting at P550.

Here's why you should visit Dino Land SM North Edsa:

Located at the third floor of SM North Edsa's City Center, this dinosaur-themed amusement park attracts guests of all ages from around the Metro. While the place is primarily for young kids, there's no rule saying adults can't join in on the fun. 

The space is divided into sections dedicated to different dino-themed play areas. There's the Naughty Fort, which has a massive ball pit and slide for active kids and adults who miss the playgrounds of their youth.

If the fort is too busy, there's another play area called Dino Dig with more slides and a mini-climbing area. Aside from horsing around, kids can dig around the imitation porcelain sand-clad area and look for fossils and other things buried in the ground. 

For those with little kids in their racing-and-cars phase, there are the battery-operated Roar and Ride and Roar and Race areas. Here, you'll go aboard small dinosaur rides to race around a short track or to simulate a dinosaur prowling the jungle. 

Older kids and adults might particularly enjoy the Simulated Reality Adventure, a VR rollercoaster ride through the Jurassic Jungle. Think of being chased around by huge carnivorous beasts while making your way through the forest. It sounds like Jurassic Park IRL to us. 

Among all the parts of Dino Land, our favorite has got to be the Enchanted Forest. This sprawling space is made up of different IG-worthy light fixtures and backgrounds mimicking a magical forest of light and some hidden dinos along the way. 

Entry to this part of Dino Land is timed, meaning guests can only stay there for a fixed amount of time. We suggest taking as many pictures as you can while here as it is very IG-friendly. 

Here are the entrance fees and rates for the different amenities at Dino Land:

Apart from the attractions and play areas, Dino Land also has an in-house café where tired kids and companions can grab a snack to re-energize for another round of play. 

Dino Land is shaping up to be the newest must-visit spot for kids and kids-at-heart. For the best experience, head to this attraction on off-peak days and hours, as wait times and lines notoriously get long, especially on weekends. Pack a lot of patience, and don't let the queue ruin the experience. 

Dino Land is at 3/F City Center, SM North Edsa, Quezon City. Rates start at P. For more information, visit Dino Land SM City North Edsa's Facebook page.
