On our way to the site

My kids loved the giant dinosaur tower which is a stunning reconstruction of the animals body. Passing longs, ribs and other body parts you could climb to the dinosaurs mouth and enjoy the panorama by looking through his teeth. Pretty cool, even if you're not 8 years old!

The scenery in the park is amazing and walking through this stone valley filled with hoodoos and miraculous rock formations it kind of brings you back to that prehistorical era.
