I recently visited the Dinosaur Geopark in Hateg, and it turned out to be a delightful surprise. Although the park is relatively small, it packs a punch with its unique exhibits and passionate guides. Tibi, Our Fantastic Guide: Tibi, our guide, made the experience truly memorable. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he shared fascinating insights about the ancient creatures that once roamed this region. His storytelling skills brought the dinosaurs back to life, making the tour engaging and educational. Dinosaur Discoveries: The museum houses artifacts discovered in recent years. These rare finds provide a glimpse into the prehistoric world. Tibi’s explanations made the exhibits come alive, and I left with a newfound appreciation for these ancient giants. Community Effort: What impressed me most was that the geopark was created by a group of young enthusiasts. Their dedication put Hateg on the tourist map, and I applaud their efforts. The fact that there’s no entrance fee (though donations are welcome) speaks to their passion for sharing knowledge. In summary, the Dinosaur Geopark may be small, but it’s big on heart. If you find yourself in Hateg, don’t miss this hidden gem. And remember to ask for Tibi—he’ll make your visit unforgettable! 🦕🌿 Note: The Dinosaur Geopark is located at Libertatii Street 9A, Hateg, Hunedoara, Romania1. 🌍

"Geoparcul Dinozaurilor Țara Hațegului", situat într-o zonă depresionară înconjurată de munți, este un proiect care integrează și dezvoltă patrimoniul cultural, arheologic, istoric și natural al Țării Hațegului, o zonă specială a Transilvaniei situată în partea centrală a României. Arealul Geoparcului acoperă peste 100.000 de hectare, inclusiv un oraș și 10 comune. Pe lângă peisajele foarte pitoresti (chei adânci, peșteri, păduri, pajiști alpine) zona conține și urme ale istoriei omenești din Paleolitic la antichitatea romană și din evul mediu până la timpurile moderne. Cele mai importante site-uri sunt ruinele Ulpiei Traiana Sarmizegetusa, vechea capitală a Daciei romane, precum și numeroase biserici medievale din piatră (mai ales biserica din Densuș) și fortificații. Regiunea este renumită pentru ai săi "dinozauri pitici" care au trăit la sfarsitul Cretacicului, acum 72-65 milioane de ani. Pe baza resturilor de schelete au fost descrise 15 specii de dinozauri, atât erbivori cât și carnivori, unii unici în întreaga lume. De asemenea, ouă de dinozaur și pui au fost descoperite în aceleași depozite, precum și multe specii non-dinozaur. Foarte spectaculos este un pterosaur (reptilă zburătoare) imens, numit Hatzegopteryx (după numele regiunii) și care a avut o anvergură a aripilor de 12 m. La sediul Geoparcului din Hațeg vizitatorii pot admira expoziția "Balauri, dragoni, dinozauri". Aceasta expoziție fructifică miturile balaurilor și dragonilor cu fascinația pentru dinozauri. Vedeta este "Balaurul bondoc", reconstituit în mărime naturală în mediul său de viață, o specie locală de dinozaur carnivor pitic cu pene, foarte feroce.

You can find here a short introduction in the Hateg’s dinosaurs history. A small museum, build up an managed by a few young people, it has interesting infos and a fossilized dinosaurs egg nest. In the back of the museum you can find a nice place for the kids: a garden of the senses and not only. 1-2h would be enough to see the location, but be careful about the opening hours. You can see them in the first picture, down below.

Visiting the Dinosaur Geopark in Țara Hațegului was an unforgettable and educational experience for both adults and children. The site is rich in history and offers a fascinating glimpse into the prehistoric world of the Hațeg Island and its unique dwarf dinosaurs.

What truly made our visit exceptional was the amazing guide who welcomed us with warmth and enthusiasm. She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and kind. Her way of telling stories and explaining scientific facts in an accessible and captivating manner made the entire experience come alive. She interacted wonderfully with the children, answered all our questions with patience, and created a friendly, relaxed atmosphere from start to finish.

The exhibits are well-curated, with hands-on displays and life-size reconstructions that help visitors visualize the ancient world. The educational aspect is presented in a fun and interactive way, perfect for families and school groups.

We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Hațeg area. It’s not just a visit to a museum, but a journey into Romania’s prehistoric past, brought to life by passionate people. A heartfelt thank you and congratulations to our wonderful guide — she made the experience truly special...

Very disappointing experience here. It has a great area to play in around the park. However, there is extremely limited information on dinosaurs here. I expected some form of a museum indoors. However, the information here is limited to posters in glass and this focuses on wildlife in general.

The most disappointing part of this venue is that they try and charge you for everything inside. From the bouncy castle to the slides, to the train ride. They try and charge you extra.

There is the ridiculous situation of a member of staff by himself trying to charge you to use the bouncy castle with no one on it. Then you have 15-20 kids in the park with none of them using it, because its charged for 15 minutes or 30 minutes. The parents rightfully just see this as a rip off and avoid it because they already paid a fairly high price to enter the park to begin with!!

Essentially it just reeks of trying to scalp you once you are inside. Many of the additional things inside should be free. Its pointless having a completely empty and unused bouncy castle or slide, just because you want to charge...
