About

Alfândega do Porto will be transformed into a real time machine where you can go back a few thousand years. The “Dinosauria Experience” goes back to the end of the Cretaceous period, something like 66 million years ago, and will give visitors the opportunity to walk among dinosaurs.

The “Dinosauria Experience” is an exhibition of animatronic dinosaurs, that is, robotic devices that simulate the appearance and behaviour of extinct dinosaurs. From their roar to their appearance, the goal is to recreate a real Jurassic adventure. Visitors will be able to see replicas of dinosaur species such as Tyrannosaurus (T-Rex); Triceratops; Stegosaurus; Ankylosaurus; Pachycephalosaurus; Iguanodon; Protoceratops; Ornithomimus; Brontosaurus; Baryonyx; Deinonychus; Dilophosaurus; Diplodocus; Saltasaurus; Velociraptor; Maiasaura; Spinosaurus; Corythosaurus; Ceratosaurus and Pterosauria. The exhibition also has information panels with scientific details about different geologic eras, theories about the extinction of dinosaurs and data about the recovery of fossils. The little ones can also have the experience of being palaeontologists for a few hours.
