Interactive Dinosaur Event - Jurassic Maze at Yomiuriland Dinosaur Research Institute

Dinosaur Events Throughout the Park

The amusement park Yomiuriland will host the dinosaur event "Jurassic Maze in Yomiuriland Dinosaur Research Institute" from March 20 (Friday, holiday) to May 25 (Monday). This interactive event takes visitors through a "Dinosaur Research Institute" where they can learn about dinosaur history and ecology, and a "Maze Forest" where dinosaurs lurk.

The Dinosaur Research Institute features dinosaur fossils and geological timelines, with some fossils available for hands-on touching. On display is a half-skeleton replica of RAYMOND, a Triceratops exceeding 6 meters in length, offering visitors a chance to observe its impressive form up close.

In the "Maze Forest," dinosaurs that have escaped from the research institute appear throughout the woods. Visitors can experience encounters with moving dinosaurs while examining details like dinosaur skin and sharp claws.

Additionally, on select evenings, a "Night Lab version" will be held. Participants navigate the darkened venue using flashlights, experiencing a different level of excitement compared to daytime visits.

To commemorate this event, dinosaur-themed foods and workshops will be available throughout the park. The dinosaur-themed attractions "Dino Runner" and "Sky Adventure with Pteranodon," which opened in July last year, will distribute "Dinosaur Research Cards" during certain time slots. During spring break and Golden Week, visitors can enjoy a dinosaur-filled experience at Yomiuriland.
