In June, dinosaurs appeared in Berdyansk - Dinopark opened its doors. Should the whole family go there? How much will it cost? Real review and photos without photoshop
How to get to "Dinopark" in Berdyansk
Berdyansk Dinosaur Park is a 2-minute walk from the dolphinarium and 5 minutes from the water park (all this is located at the beginning of the Berdyansk Spit, you can get here by 15 and 17 minibuses). Therefore, after the husband and the eldest daughter rode the slides, and I watched the dolphin show with the youngest, we decided to go to the Dinopark together.

What are your impressions of the Berdyansk Dinosaur Park
When I got there, my first emotion was disappointment. Dinopark is very small in size. But, as it turned out, he was smart. Despite its very compact size, there is something to do here for children of all ages. For example, my 4-year-old daughter loved the paleontological corner where she dug up dinosaur bones. A trampoline is located next to it. So after the labors, the young "paleontologists" can jump off their feet.

8-year-old daughter liked the maze. She passed it 3-4 times. Older children, 10-13 years old, also ran there with interest.

Well, the most interesting was the attraction with the Tyrannosaurus Rex, on whose back a saddle was hoisted. So it was possible to saddle it, which children of all ages did with pleasure.

Is it possible to have a snack on the territory of "Dinopark"
There are several food courts where you can buy corn in cups, marmalade, drinks. Separately equipped a cafe, which sells a signature dish - dinoburger.
So we decided to try it and it was right. Really very tasty, juicy uncooked meat inside. And the sauce, as the waitress assured, is not mayonnaise, but a branded sauce, which supposedly can be given even to children.

How much will the trip to the "Dinopark" in Berdyansk cost
The prices here, I will say right away, bite. The cost of an adult ticket is UAH 200, for a child ticket from 3 to 12 years old - UAH 150, under 3 years old - free of charge. In total, our family paid only 700 UAH for the entrance. We also bought 2 burgers for 89 UAH, 2 cups of corn for 50 UAH, a couple of coffee for 25 UAH. Such a modest dinner at a dinosaur's house cost 330 UAH.

In total, a trip to the "Dinopark" for a family of four cost 1000 UAH. If you, like us, have never been to such parks, you can go. Children will definitely like it. But to parents because of such high prices - not very much.

Where else can you go with children in Berdyansk
In addition to the water park, dolphinarium and Dinopark, there is also a very good zoo in Berdyansk. If you don't mind the topic of keeping animals in captivity, this is the place to go. Well-groomed green area, spacious aviaries, clean animals. All sorts of interesting things on the paths. For example, a stand with animal footprints and you have to guess. who they belong to. In the center, on the embankment, there is also a petting zoo, but it makes a depressing impression: crowded, muddy. There are a lot of attractions on the embankment - both extreme and not so much. For example, a Ferris wheel. Although it is the highest in Ukraine, it is not at all terrible.
