Balneário Camboriú, Brazil’s most luxurious beach destination, has a new attraction: the region’s largest Jurassic Adventure Park.

Last night, the grand unveiling took place. Public officials and tourism leaders were among the 500 guests present.

Covering 30,000 square meters, the park showcases over 100 animated and static dinosaurs.

A R$60 ($12) million investment fueled this project. As a result, it’s now South America’s largest dinosaur-themed venue.

Notable attendees included Oceanic Group’s CEO and Santa Catarina’s Tourism Secretary.

One official said the park is a milestone for theme-based tourism. Additionally, the Tourism Secretary stressed it would boost regional travel.

First-time visitors will find many unique experiences. For example, the package includes an expert-curated fossil museum and a time-travel cinema.

Furthermore, walking trails feature various dinosaurs, complete with sounds and movements.

Besides famous names like T-Rex and Velociraptor, new species also appear.

For instance, the Argentinosaurus measures 35 meters long, and the Irritator is a Brazilian native. But that’s not all.

The park offers indoor and outdoor playgrounds, boat rides on an artificial river, and zip-lining adventures. There’s also a maze, plus dining options with a unique theme.

This Saturday, the park opens to the public. Finally, the Tourism Secretary commented,

“We’ve trained over 1,300 travel agents this year. We aim to showcase Santa Catarina as a year-round destination with unique experiences.”

Background

Balneário Camboriú’s new Jurassic Adventure Park is not just a playground for dinosaur enthusiasts; it’s an economic and cultural milestone for the region.

The park expands the portfolio of tourist attractions in Santa Catarina, which is already one of Brazil’s most sought-after beach destinations.

With over 100 animated and static dinosaurs, the park is now the largest dinosaur-themed venue in South America, positioning it as a significant draw for theme-based tourism.
