China Dinosaur Park
中华恐龙园
A dinosaur-themed 5A-rated park where fossil displays at the China Dinosaur Museum are matched by thrill rides such as Journey Through the Jurassic and the Kukesuke Grand Canyon.
China Dinosaur Park is located in the Global Dinosaur City in Xinbei District, Changzhou. It is a national 5A-rated scenic area and one of the earliest dinosaur-themed amusement parks in China. Its core is the China Dinosaur Museum, which displays dozens of dinosaur fossil skeletons, including Lufengosaurus and Mamenchisaurus, with strong educational value. The park is divided into themed zones: Kukesuke Grand Canyon, Magic Rainforest, Dream Manor, Glacier Lake and the Dinosaur City Grand Theater. Popular attractions include “Journey Through the Jurassic” (a large rapids ride), the Thunder Dragon Roller Coaster and the Kukesuke Grand Canyon rafting ride, as well as dinosaur parades, interactive dinosaur-and-human shows and nighttime light shows. It's ideal for a full day with the family. A one-day pass costs about RMB 230 and a two-day pass about RMB 320. Children 1.2–1.5 meters tall and some seniors receive half-price tickets. Opening hours are roughly 9:00–17:00, extended on weekends in spring and autumn, and night sessions are often held in summer. Getting there: A taxi from Changzhou North Railway Station takes about 10 minutes. From Changzhou Railway Station, take Metro Line 1 and transfer to a bus, or take a taxi, about 25 minutes. Note: Water rides will get you wet, so bring a change of clothes. Popular rides have long queues, so head to them first thing after entering. There are hot springs and themed hotels in the nearby Dinosaur City for overnight stays.
