There were many unique animals (sloths, otters, groundhogs), which I found very interesting and fascinating. The park's layout was well-planned, and the staff were friendly, making it suitable for family trips.
I'd heard the reviews for Dinosaur Park weren't very good, so I was actually considering skipping it beforehand. Luckily we went! Aside from being a bit hot, Dinosaur Park was so much fun! Before entering, a multilingual team helped us understand the park and helped us choose activities suitable for the kids. We also visited the pineapple garden, rode the ride on the park bus, and listened to nursery rhymes, which the kids enjoyed very much. The DMM Aquarium was especially our kids' favorite, but because we hadn't done our research, we didn't get to feed the otters. We definitely want to go again next time.
I saw reviews of the park's buffet lunch online, and when I got there, I found it was right to the left of the elevator, with a view of the sea. While the food selection wasn't huge, the taste was good. The ocean show is a must-see after entering the park; I guarantee both adults and children will enjoy it.
You can only buy one ride pass at a time. If you're using an iPhone, remember to turn off mobile payments or transit card functions to avoid other payment methods being detected. The easiest way is to show the QR code to the station staff; they can then pass through without swiping a card.
The naturally formed stalactite cave, combined with the lighting effects, is truly amazing. Although it's a bit slippery and difficult to walk through inside, since you can take your time exploring the park on your own, I think the ticket is well worth it.
There aren't many people now, and even on a Friday during the summer holidays, the queues aren't ridiculously long. The park is very friendly to foreigners; you can get a free ticket for unlimited rides on the Tam Tam Tram for the day just by queuing at the entrance, and foreigners are even in the first line of entry. Additionally, booking tickets through Klook or KKday includes free VIP lounge access and a free Dinosaur Safari luxury pass, which can make your day much easier.
However, the park's information updates are still not very synchronized. Even though Typhoon Dolphin caused the hot air balloons to be under maintenance, I couldn't see this information on the app, which led me to take a longer route in the morning. Also, despite staying at the Oriental Hotel, which is affiliated with the park, and taking the hotel shuttle bus, I wasn't informed that I could enter the park 15 minutes early, which was a pity. Furthermore, the numbered tickets couldn't be used to select all seven people in my group at once, which was very inconvenient. Only half of the people were selected, leaving the others unsure of where to go; and the time slots for the selected tickets were inconvenient, causing me to wander around the park repeatedly.
However, you can feel the effort the place puts into treating foreign tourists well; the staff are very welcoming, and the facilities are quite interesting (dinosaur safari, SKY PHOENIX, laser guns, etc.). I hope Junglia's business will improve in the future, and that it will often stay open until evening to set off fireworks.
Excellent value for money! Given the long drive, it's a worthwhile day trip for travelers without a car. Our guide, Ishikawa, explained everything in detail on the bus (although I accidentally fell asleep a bit 😂). She also carefully reminded passengers getting off at American Village of the return transportation details. Thank you, Ishikawa! Kouri Island's beaches are gorgeous; it would have been even better if we had stayed longer. Highly recommended!
The 20GB bandwidth for 7 days was more than enough. The internet connection was also very stable; I'll definitely choose it again next time I travel abroad.
