Under the scientific direction of Humboldt University Berlin, more than 30 artists worked about 21,400 hours on the first 60 dinosaur figures up to 2015, using some 400 tonnes of concrete and 30 tonnes of steel.
The park connects visitors with paleontology through interactive displays that show scientifically accurate information about prehistoric life. School groups and families regularly use these learning opportunities as part of their visit.
The site is accessible daily and offers free parking plus charging stations for electric vehicles under solar panels. Comfortable shoes are important since the paths run through forest with natural ground, and you should prepare for weather changes.
