Prehisto Dino Park, Dinosaur theme park in Lacave, France
Prehisto Dino Park is a dinosaur amusement park in Lacave featuring over 150 life-sized dinosaur models scattered throughout a forested landscape. The site sits between Rocamadour and Souillac in the Lot department and provides an immersive exploration of prehistoric life across different eras.
The park was created to chronicle evolutionary history from aquatic life through the age of dinosaurs to early humans. It combines paleontological education with displays spanning multiple geological periods and the organisms that inhabited them.
Children can participate in prehistoric art workshops where they learn to paint using natural pigments and charcoal just as early humans did. These hands-on experiences connect visitors directly to ancient creative techniques.
The site is walkable and allows visitors to explore the dinosaur models at their own pace throughout the forested terrain. You can easily spend several hours here, and the location also provides access to a nearby cave system for those interested in combining activities.
The site also contains the Grotte des Carbonnières, a cave system with stalactites and stalagmites illuminated by LED lights along a walkway. This combination of dinosaur park and cave exploration makes the location unlike most other attractions in the area.
