Dino Park, Phuket

Phuket is known for its many beaches and night life, as well as for the tourist spots like the temple and the old Phuket town. Dino Park offers a refreshing break from the usual sightseeing routine. Located on the Karon Beach, it is a thematic mini golf course set in the pre-historic world of the awe inspiring dinosaurs. There are numerous life-like replicas of dinosaurs complete with a 12m waterfall, a lava cave and erupting volcanoes. The Park can give any of the dinosaur movies a run for their money with a moving and roaring T-Rex. The whole scenario is complete with special light and sound effects.

The golf park has 18 holes, each of which blend smoothly into the theme. It can accommodate 60 people for a 40 minute round at a time. For those not as enthusiastic about mini golf, a walk through the park will provide many photograph worthy moments. After a round of mini golf, visitors can cool off at the restaurant/bar, which also follows the primeval jungle theme wonderfully.

The park is open between 10am and 11pm. The tickets cost 240 Baht for adults and 180 Baht for children. It makes for a unique experience that combines the sport with a foray into the past. It virtually guarantees some amazing times with friends and family, irrespective of their age!
