Zaurolandia dinosaur park in Rogowo with little kids: dinosaurs in the woods, a zip line and a cave people's camp

In September 2012 we went to the dinosaur park in Rogowo, in the Pałuki region of Poland, which is now called Zaurolandia. Krzyś was five at the time, Agata was two, and our youngest daughter, Justyna, wasn't even one yet, so she spent most of the day in the pram or in our arms. For the older two it was a day full of giants they could touch, and sometimes even sit on.

Dinosaurs along a woodland trail

The trail winds through woods and meadows by Lake Rogowskie, and every few dozen metres there is another life-size model. Many of them have information boards telling you how big each species was and when it lived. One of the first animals on the trail was a Dimetrodon with a huge sail on its back. Fun fact: Dimetrodon isn't a dinosaur at all, but a much older synapsid, more closely related to mammals than to dinosaurs.

Krzyś immediately climbed onto the lower models and sat on their backs, while Agata carefully stroked their snouts.

Giants in the meadow

Further into the park the woods thin out and the biggest models stand in open meadows. Next to the kids, the long-necked sauropods look like living cranes, and a plesiosaur lounges under a willow tree. Krzyś sat on a Diplodocus, and then he and his dad checked whether you could put your hand between a predator's teeth.

A playground with a zip line

Halfway along the trail there is a big playground. Agata refused to get off the zip line and rode it again and again, while dad and Justyna rocked in giant dinosaur eggs. There was also a slide, which our youngest daughter went down with a little help from dad.

The cave people's camp

At the end of the trail there is a prehistoric camp: a shelter made of branches, a stone hearth and figures of Stone Age people. Krzyś and Agata played among them for a long time, and Krzyś crouched by the hearth as if he wanted to help light the fire.
