Travel back in time at Tierpark Berlin – to a land before our time! Twenty life-size and animated dinosaurs moved in there by October.

Dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago. Now they are making their comeback in the zoo. Life-size replicas of the primeval giants await at Dinoworld in Friedrichsfelde – from the more well-known Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brachiosaurus and Triceratops to Quetzalcoatlus and Maiasaura.

To ensure that the dinosaur exhibition is authentic, an extra 340 new plants were planted, including ferns that existed when the dinosaurs were alive.
