How to Visit
1
Understand what this listing means
For most travelers, the dinosaur park is the World Geopark framing around the Zigong Dinosaur Museum and Dashanpu fossil site.
Tip:This is not a separate theme park itinerary.
2
Follow the Dinosaur Museum status
Because the practical visitor experience centers on the museum site, the current closure status affects this attraction too.
Tip:If the museum is closed, do not travel here only for the geopark name.
3
Visit for real fossils after reopening
After reopening, focus on the fossil burial hall, geological context, and museum displays rather than expecting a large outdoor geopark circuit.
Tip:The strength is the original fossil site.
4
Keep Fantawild separate
Fantawild Dino Kingdom is nearby but is an amusement park with rides and shows. This geopark listing is about fossil science and museum interpretation.
Tip:Choosing the wrong dinosaur site changes the whole day.
Highlights
- World Geopark context for the Dashanpu fossil site
- Practical visit overlaps with Zigong Dinosaur Museum
- Good for fossil and geology-focused travelers after reopening
- Clear contrast with the nearby Fantawild theme park
- Useful label for understanding why Zigong is a dinosaur destination
Insider Tips
✦Use the Dinosaur Museum page as your practical planning base.
✦Do not book a separate long route just because the geopark name sounds larger.
✦Pair it with Fantawild only if you want both science and amusement-park time.
✦Keep a backup city route while the museum is closed.
✦Use taxi or DiDi if traveling with children.
