Thousands of families are flocking to a new outdoor attraction in Panama<\/a> this holiday season. Jurassic Earth Park, located in the Panama North district, has welcomed over 8,000 visitors since opening with its central draw, a life-sized dinosaur exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The park offers a blend of recreation and paleontology education. Its collection of prehistoric creature replicas, including models inspired by raptors, has become a major destination for local tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specialized guides at the park provide educational talks, explaining the differences between carnivorous and herbivore<\/a> dinosaurs. They detail the animals’ characteristics, habits, and the science behind the models. “Is that a real dinosaur?” has been one of the most frequent questions from fascinated children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This educational proposal seeks to awaken interest in natural history and science,” said a municipal official. [Translated from Spanish] The official noted the experience turns a day out into an attractive alternative for parents and children.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The dinosaur attractions operate from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily. The park itself opens at 8:00 a.m., encouraging visitors to enjoy its broader amenities before or after viewing the prehistoric figures.<\/p>
